      Oregon was originally founded as an all-white state. The PNW has lots of racists and they all live in the stix since they think Portland and Seattle are portals to Hell.

      And as far as the Northeast is concerned, I think only Vermont has rural areas that aren’t MAGA.

        East of the cascades it’s all racism. But to the west I didn’t encounter it much. But that may just be an anecdotal comparison to the actual shit holes I have lived in where racism thrived rather than lurked.

          I traveled all over Oregon and Washington after living in the southeast.

          What you say holds true but to a lesser degree than true red areas.

          A lot of the people who consider themselves conservative would be relentlessly bullied for being a liberal if they moved to an actual red area.

          It’s funny because their utopian views of conservative areas mirrored my utopian view of Seattle when I lived in a conservative shit hole.
