My take on the Portland left is they are for the most part laid-back gentle souls who really believe that EVERYONE needs to REALLY cut back on fossil fuel. None of that “it’s OK to burn gas if you buy an indulgance” crap. They will walk the walk, they expect their elites to walk the walk, and they don’t have patience with hypocrites who have perverted Cap ‘N Tax into a get-rich-quick fraud.
Pretty cool when stuff like this breaks out in Portland.
This, indeed, would be a rare leftist. Usually they are humanists who nearly worship their elites as demi-gods who are to be exempted from the shackles of the rules they'd apply to others.
