You’re not forgetting.
“It seems that liberalism has created in the last four decades a HUGE underclass of unemployable, weird people.”
And we are importing tens of thousands more of them. Years ago, these people would have starved to death in the gutter. Today the government supports them and allows more of them to enter the country.

I also go down to Portland a lot for shopping. Even the upscale neighborhoods are becoming overrun with derelicts and the local government refuses to help business owners.
I’m convinced cities like Seattle and Portland are just asking to become Detroit.
