Off to the left on Washington state, the farthest left areas were big logging and fishing communities that the enviros killed off.

The small houses in the communities have been abandoned or in disrepair due to - wait for it - no jobs for the less educated white men that used to fill those positions.

Ditto for south-western Oregon. We started getting hammered under Carter and it never really has let up.

At my 10 year high school reunion, out of a class of close to 400, exactly one guy showed up who was living in county—more of the women had managed to marry older guys who had found a job. No one with a college education had landed any closer than Portlan—about 6 hours away. I don’t think that any of the college educated guys had ended up in state at the time (though I think that some have made it back since).
