Portlandia: Further descending into leftist madness

Portland, Oregon, has gradually become the laughingstock of the country. The far left began moving there in droves a few years ago, taking over the city and transforming it to their liking. Taxes and regulations increased. Many of the changes involved implementing more aggressive environmental laws, some that seemed based on junk science. Money was directed into public transit instead of relieving motor vehicle traffic congestion, leading to the fifth-worst traffic in the nation. The TV comedy “Portlandia” emerged, making fun of the city’s nuttiest aspects.

The far left in Portland became obsessed with protesting white supremacy through violence. They claim that Portland is full of white supremacists who must be stopped – but that only makes the left look bad, since Portland is now predominantly comprised of the left. The history of racism that once plagued the state has mostly dissipated, as generations have died out and laws have been rescinded. Notably, all the lefties moving there aren’t making the city more diverse. It is one of the whitest big cities in the U.S., at almost 78 percent. Only 2.2 percent of the population is black.

Whether intentional or not, it is a hoot. Sometimes people are big enough to be capable of making fun of themselves—I think it has to be conscious.

I think of an episode where a set of grandparents are watching a baby and trying to change a diaper without seeing genatilia because they don’t want to be in anyways influenced by physical realities which might lead them to think of imposing a gender on the kid.
