“If it weren’t for Portland and college hippies in places like Ashland, this state would be all R. Portland just runs that state.”
“The same is true for Washington State. If you remove the Seattle metropolitan area from the mix the state is conservative. “
The same is true in EVERY state. Just a few urban counties, either in NY, IL, WA, or MD, PA or MI, or NV, or even CA, makes the state Democrat and liberal. Remove the College towns, capital city, and mega-cities, and this country would be 2-to-1 Republican.
If we could have our way then, we could use a property qualification for voting. Like you must own at least an acre or two of land to vote. Not easy to get that reform passed, though. But keep it in mind.

The cities make all the money and the liberals leach off the wealth, like parasites. But you don’t want to get rid of the cities.

We would only have about 110 million population if we got rid of all cities, college towns and other liberal bastions. lol.
