SC- you should know that every population center in Oregon is the same. Even Medford and Grants Pass and all the Williams outlaw hippies got co-opted into woke. Been to Jacksonville lately?
I live in Seattle and honestly I find less conformist here per capita than in Barnardsville, NC. Being in a place where you can earn a good income with a 10th grade education is great. I tell people I encounter professionally to fuck off on the regular and they don't have the balls or talent to challenge me because all the rich fucks we work for demand results above all else.
If more talented hicks moved to these West Coast cities they would realize what a gravy train it is.
Changing the zeitgeist of these credentialed pricks is another thing, but it is nice to watch them squirm when you tell them they are morons and there is nothing they can or will do about it.
Well the other part of that equation is that the Not-Portland parts of the state have to handle their own business and can't just nab tax money from the urban centers. Newport might be woke, but they're broke, too!
I don't understand how the hell you can afford to live in Seattle without working for one of the big tech companies and that requires more than a 10th grade education.
Can't be done. National divorce is a myth. The split is no longer between states, but between big cities and everyone else.
City-states! Let Portland be as weird as it wants without screwing up Oregon.

As long as Amazon can deliver across national boundaries, IтАЩm okay with it
I figure it will probably be more like the border between Minnesota and Manitoba pre-9/11 than like the Korean DMZ.

True

Nah, just level it.
See how they fare rebuilding it.
Without any real skills they'll wither and die.
OK by me if progressives have to stay in their blue metro areas and I have to stay out.
100% City states vs. everybody else.
