I’ve been on the Oregon coast for a long time. Of late, there have been very hard left types moving here from fly-over country, trying to lecture us on what backwater racists we are. The Pacific Northwest has no monopoly on lefties.
This is a true story, I visited Portland mid-February 2020, before the pandemic panic set in, although people were getting itchy about corona. I went to Canon Beach, and it was beautiful, going back to my rental car, I was approached by a 40 something hippie, and he asked me to buy him a flavored cigar, from a small store across the street, since he had been banned from the store, and he gave me 1 dollar.
Went into the store, bought the cigar, and it came out to $1.57 and I payed the change.
I gave him the cigar and then he said without a "thank you", "why are these cigars so costly"
I told hippieman "its because you vote for democrats".
True story.
