When did Oregon start it's decent into liberal hell? Can anyone remember a time when it wasn't? Serious question... not trying to be a smart azz.
I lived and worked in Southern OR back in the boom days of logging, roadbuilding, dam building...'60's and '70's. To me it was blue collar conservative heaven. Decent wages, affordable housing, everything a working stiff with a family could ask for. You guys are probably right...immigration mostly at fault, but all up and down the I-5 corridor from Portland to Ashland was a string of re-education centers...they called them colleges and universities...they were turning out little Marxists and environmentalists at the rate of tens of thousands per year. And slowly without any fanfare, down she went, sweet Oregon, trying to imitate France.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
