Anybody from Oregon? Are these riots moving the needle in Trumps direction.
I’m from Oregon. ..there are a lot of independent and unaffiliated voters in Oregon.....which to me means, yes, moving needle more toward Trump..but that’s just my humble opinion
A lot of love for Trump, but the numbers arent likely enough.

I’m living comfortably in Salem, 45 minutes south of Portland. Salem has a good distribution of Conservatives. The state capitol is here; so are the bureaucrats, however most of the citizens know what and who the government folks are. Salem is the capitol, but is surrounded by beautiful farmland and good farm folks. Most here consider Portland as a foreign country.
I have an in-law in Portland, real estate agent. He says residents are fed up. They will vote the mayor out. Many looking to walk away from the radical Dim party.
I live on the Coast - there’s a mix of both liberal and conservative here. Some of the local FB pages get into some pretty heated arguments.

The needle has move a great deal toward Trump. The problem is that the vast areas of Oregon are already red counties but the two big cities, Portland and Salem are blue and they have by far most of the votes.
It is the same situation in Ca. The red counties make up 85% of the state but that 15% blue part has the votes.
In both situations, ANTIFA and BLM can not riot effectively our of those big blue cities where they have political coverage.
The Red counties would have them delivered back to mommy’s basement in body bags.
As far as Oregon breaking off from the USA that is a joke. Outside of the cities you could not get one in ten to vote for that venture.
I live in rural SW OR. There’s been a push here and in northern CA to form a new state, been thought of for many years. The state of Jefferson, the rural half or so of OR and the rural top third or so of CA. Minus SF of course. There are maps.
