Redding/Shasta area, used to drive through there frequently when I had a company in Portland, stopping in Yreka or Ashland overnight. That area is is affectionately known to its residents as the State of Jefferson (an independent state in their mind), they even have own radio station where flame throwers like Mark Levin and Lars Larson pontificate about how evil the liberals are. They want to secede from California and become part of Western Idaho. Here is a little background from May 2021.

Last week, in a nonbinding but revealing election, five counties in eastern Oregon endorsed a plan to secede from the liberal-leaning parts of their state and take a chunk of the State of Jefferson with them. The master plan: to become part of Idaho and then add all or parts of Siskiyou, Shasta, Tehama, Del Norte, Modoc and Lassen Counties on the California side of Oregon’s southern border.
