I think there two states in Oregon. One is the city of Portland, the county it is in plus three or four surrounding counties, plus the resort-coastal county to the west of Portland. Unfortunately they make up 30-40% of the state population. Then you have a few Dim enclaves in the more rural counties. Together they handily get more than 50-60% of the state legislative seats. I think some eastern and southern counties of Oregon would separate if they could.
I don’t know where the survey takers made their survey or how, but from what we see of Portland and my own personal experience there (used to be there frequently a number of years ago and have a sister and her family who live there) I cannot understand where and how the patriotism of Oregon shows.
Form the State of Jefferson. But the dems wouldnt get two senators out of it, so it goes nowhere.
