(7,220 posts)5. It is. But only because the majority of us live in Portland
As other posters have mentioned, the are liberal pockets. But outside those pockets. Red.

Spent 25+ years in Oregon including dark blue towns of Ashland and Corvallis. Deplorable types can certainly be found anywhere, as can decent people who oppose bigotry. Generalizations rarely apply.

(5,376 posts)4. Well, except maybe for some pockets of sanity over here in Central Oregon.
Few, far between but nonetheless here. (I'm raising my hand.)
Cheers, and be grateful to live in beautiful Oregon, whose motto is, She Flies With Her Own Wings".
Cheers and blessings.
