> a bunch of people living in population centers far away "Far away" being "within the same state"? > "telling them how to live their lives" Yes, tell us the horrifying tales of distinctive micromanagement the people of Eastern Oregon have to suffer from. If you live in society featuring representative government and rule of law, no matter where you live you'll run into a situation where you won't be part of the plurality. And yes, frequently, "population centers" are going to be where the majority of people live, which means in any state, you're going to have the same problem. Which means this complaint is essentially about the idea that certain minorities get that they should have the right to impose their values on the majority.

> "Far away" being "within the same state"? Don't confuse Oregon with some small New England state. It's the 10th largest, clocking in at nearly 400 miles E-W. For reference, if you drove 60mph and managed to take a straight line across it'd be over 6.5 hours of drive time, and the physical geography drastically changes in that distance.

I don't think you understand what the word impose means. How is asking to leave imposing something on anyone? If you want to see an example of minority groups imposing beliefs on the majority you should look at BLM and lgtbq communities.
