“Anybody from Oregon? Are these riots moving the needle in Trumps direction.”
I’m living comfortably in Salem, 45 minutes south of Portland. Salem has a good distribution of Conservatives. The state capitol is here; so are the bureaucrats, however most of the citizens know what and who the government folks are. Salem is the capitol, but is surrounded by beautiful farmland and good farm folks. Most here consider Portland as a foreign country.
Except in Bend, maybe.
I think that the good folks of Hillsboro wont take too kindly of Antifa trying to torch any structures in their community either.
It was a fine record, and in my top ten. Most people think Aja. I disagree.

...think about what they are saying..

“How terrified are you of the riots coming to your town?”

because they’d need the national guard to enforce the curfew and that ain’t gonna happen any time soon ...
This NY Times piece of propaganda refers to Ted Wheeler as a “moderate Democrat”. All you need to know.
At Rapid Fire Arms, a gun shop along the main road in Sandy, the owner, Brian Coleman, has sold 4.5 million rounds of ammunition since March,
At one gun store. In 6 months.
Let that sink in.

I don’t know
I have an in-law in Portland, real estate agent. He says residents are fed up. They will vote the mayor out. Many looking to walk away from the radical Dim party.
Podesta said that California, Oregon and Washington States would all secede. Maybe he hasnt met the people in rural Oregon or Spokane.
Yep vote Wheeler out and vote for Sarah Iannarone, “I am Antifa”. That will fix it.
There’s the example of West Virginia in 1861; rather than secede with the rest of the state, they formed a new state. Even if Portland and Seattle have the majority vote to secede, do you think that the farmers, ranchers small town folks would go along with it? I would bet the reaction would be “screw the majority state vote, those of us in 80 percent (by land) who vote against it ain’t going”.
Exactly - she’s worse than Wheeler, if that’s even possible. Hate to say it, but Portland is done.
I live on the Coast - there’s a mix of both liberal and conservative here. Some of the local FB pages get into some pretty heated arguments.
“Are these riots moving the needle in Trumps direction.”
The needle has move a great deal toward Trump. The problem is that the vast areas of Oregon are already red counties but the two big cities, Portland and Salem are blue and they have by far most of the votes.
It is the same situation in Ca. The red counties make up 85% of the state but that 15% blue part has the votes.
In both situations, ANTIFA and BLM can not riot effectively our of those big blue cities where they have political coverage.
The Red counties would have them delivered back to mommy’s basement in body bags.
As far as Oregon breaking off from the USA that is a joke. Outside of the cities you could not get one in ten to vote for that venture.
“Podesta said that California, Oregon and Washington States”
He has not met the people of the 85% of the counties in cali that are red either. They produce all of the food water power and fuel that the big cities of cali need to exist and they would not go with the cities.
85% of the counties in cali are solid red and do not identify themselves as being like the cities.
