The official "WTF" thread

My wife lived in Oregon several decades ago. Mid state, we took a trip to see the Oregon coast, majestic, we flew into Portland, quickly left
, drove to Astoria and started there. Drove the whole coast down to the Redwoods then back up through Crater Lake to Portland. One of our best road trips. We mainly met travelers/tourist but we did interact with some locals. They were not liberal, the ones we met were Christian conservatives. Very nice, down to earth. My wife seeing how everything has changed sickens her since Oregon is a very beautiful part of the US.She did say when she lived there that places, services you went to would ask if you were from California, they did not like those from Cali...

Yes, Oregon has a beautiful coast and other wonderful scenic spots. Like most other blue states, it's all run by the liberal whackos concentrated in the big cities. Now smaller cities are getting infected and slowly turning blue. Occasionally one statewide office has a token republican in it, but usually every single statewide elected office is filled by a democrat. The governor has a female husband. Tax money is used to pay for "free" abortions. Illegals are protected. Veterans are living on the street while the illegals get free housing and other benefits. There's a statewide tax on business receipts - not income - that has ruined low margin businesses. Portland has a local income tax, local gas tax, local arts tax, preschool for all tax, transit tax, housing services tax, and a clean energy surtax on large businesses. All used to fund liberal wet dreams. I got out of the Portland area 15 years ago, and now where I escaped to is turning into a liberal haven.
