Western Oregon, primarily along the I5 corridor, is pretty much lost to the Kalifornia Liberals. Some other parts of Oregon are being overwhelmed by these clowns (Klamath Falls and Bend, mostly) as well. And don't get me started on Governor Kate Brown!
Eastern Oregon would split into another state in a heartbeat, if they could.
Portland, though, has been long in the socialist nightmare. Bush 41 dubbed it "Little Beirut". Recently, the school published a teacher's planning guide that, among other vile things, praises Che.
Recently, Portland's police force did precisely nothing to stop Antifa thugs who were "directing" traffic in the downtown area, and yesterday the same thugs brawled with rightist marchers protesting the mayor's "hands-off" approach.
Liberals are perfectly willing to let their cities turn into hell-holes, as long as they can continue to enjoy their own islands of relative safety in neighborhoods where I'm reasonably certain that the police have been told, emphatically, not to stand down. But the no-go zones are getting bigger, and even previously safe and clean areas are beginning to turn ugly (that's right, San Francisco, I'm looking at you). So-called "progressivism" has shown an unusually strong resistance to reality; we'll see how long that lasts (and the odds are that the acceptance of reality will be a long time coming; Detroit's a wreck, and Chicago's turning into a literal slaughterhouse, but the decline of these once-great cities is showing no sign of reversal).
Yeah, downtown Portland is turning into a combat zone. There was another riot over the weekend, between antifa thugs and Patriot Prayer. The police are "still investigating".
ReplyDeleteSeattle isn't fairing much better, either. Pathetic.
No wonder the liberals want to gut the Second Amendment ... ... that way, the antifa thugs would have a more open hand.
Lots of Oregonians, and lots of Californians too, are solid hard working Americans. Just because we don't retreat to Texas like we're supposed to... well I'll just say congratulations on your ancestors. I'm not surrendering my beloved California.
ReplyDeleteSoon to be like Latin America where the elites live in high walled haciendas surrounded by the plebs living in slums.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad. The western coastal lands are such beautiful country, but the cities are toast until the normal people living there rise up and say "Enough"!
