Precovid when things were still bad but they weren’t personally feeling it or thought it was temporary amd they were in denial.

I’ve told the stories a thousand times but you’d ask them why do we have this stupid law or something about the homeless and they’d automatically reply with “conservative Christians”. Then I’d chuckle and say we’re in a blue city, in a blue state and they would just get pissed and mumble while walking away.

Then it became “we’re tired of one party rule but republicans need to become less extreme and promote climate change, gun laws, and other<insert lefty idea> etc”. And they still voted blue.

Then Covid hit and the non-ending protests. They almost elected an antifa mayor but she/it lost by only 13%.

Now Portland and the suburbs are overrun with crime, the cops don’t do anything and the idiots in this county with a soros DA just voted to keep the “enhanced” sheriff program which doesn’t make sense because they do absolutely nothing except ticket drivers, criminals get the catch and release privilege, if they get arrested at all.

Portland proper is a shell of its former self. I can no longer go there, it’s been racially divided and negros have no loyalty except to their own. Whites lack that capability and will join in. There’s constant fights if you go out now. Besides the random shootings, stabbings, violent homeless, inflation, rent and “strong armed robberies” which is only considered “aggressive pan handling” so you can’t legally defend yourself.

The burbs have become were people have escaped to and everyone gets along for now at least, it’s weird. But the burbs have basically become a little less crime ridden Portland.

And in both places people are pissed because it’s now effecting them personally and the people in charge only talk about compassion for the homeless and abortion, no solutions for the average person. But people are angry about prices, the crime, the out of control rents and not allowing builders to build outside certain areas, everything must be high density before a new tract can be opened.

They may retain control here because the lines were just redrawn but they may be underestimating how angry and “unsafe/nervous/lack of control” people are feeling and some may flip, vote third party or stay home.
