Opinion: Most communities in Oregon and the US are Republican, yet Democrats are in charge

Assuming election results are valid in Oregon, which does take a lot of faith these days after the questions about the 2020 US Presidential election arose, Democrat Tina Kotek won the Governor’s race in 2022 by a slim margin over Republican Christine Drazan. The interesting aspect of this win is how many of Oregon’s 36 counties voted Republican vs. Democrat.

Looking at the political map, almost the entire state is red with only a few small counties in the northwest having the blue color. Specifically, there were 7 counties that voted Democrat and 29 that voted Republican. The difference is the 7 counties voting blue are the most populous counties, also the counties with the most residents coming from other states – much like Tina Kotek herself, a transplant from Pennsylvania.

Tina only won the campaign to be Oregon’s 39th Governor by 66,727 votes over Christine Drazan. Said in another way, the Democrats pulled off another close election with mail-in balloting, which they have an uncanny ability to do.

The interesting cultural point this election shows us is how the vast majority of Oregon’s culture and way of life is decidedly in the Republican camp with their values, yet they are being ruled by a small highly densely populated urban area that has Democrat values. In other words, big city and liberal university values are being imposed on the vast majority of Oregon’s communities without any recourse.

Oregon is one of the worst cases of this imbalance of power going against the majority of its communities, yet this is what’s happening to the entire US. The vast majority of the US is red, while the large urban areas are essentially the only places that are blue.

In other words, the vast majority of the communities in the US hold the values of Republicans, while the densely populated urban areas hold the values of the Democrats. Considering the immorality that has always been associated with large urban areas, and that large cities are where the majority of residents are who are not originally from the US, what does this imbalance of power mean for the US?

The traditional values of the US that made this country great are held by those in the red areas, while the radical left’s values that are trying to change the US into something entirely different are held by the blue areas.

Maybe seeing how the vast majority of American communities hold Republican values will help those who love traditional America see where the political fight is being waged, that is, against the densely populated urban areas where the liberal universities and transplants are.

10 Famous Movies Filmed in Oregon Part 2

It shouldn’t be too surprising that Oregon with its amazing scenery and diverse natural landscape has been used to make movies for the big screen. Still, with such a relatively small population it is somewhat amazing how many movies have been filmed here over the years. After naming 10 movies in part one , it became apparent there needed to be a part two, as these are just as famous, so here goes from oldest to newest. 1. Paint Your Wagon (1969): Having Clint Eastwood star in a musical isn’t likely, but he did star in this American Western musical in the late 60s and even did his own singing. The film also stars Lee Marvin and Jean Seberg and was directed by Joshua Logan. Most of the movie production happened near Baker City, Oregon, a small city in Eastern Oregon with around 10k residents and at 3451 ft. elevation. The plot centers around a mining camp in the California Golf Rush era in the mid-1800s. 2. Five Easy Pieces (1970): Starring Jack Nicholson, this early 70s drama was filme...

The Orchestrated Mess

A short story about an amazing mess and the inevitable clean-up, as the show must go on. The Uncivil Mess of the Masses The people in the land were afraid of the future and what it would bring to them and their civilization. Even calling it a civilization was a stretch, considering the uncivil way many people were behaving within it. What most of the citizens and strangers in the land didn’t know was how everything was being orchestrated; the purpose of the orchestration was to create a certain amount of chaos from which order would then be applied. Like sanding and scrapping the old paint off a building and applying primer and new coats upon it for revitalization, the trillionaire elitists were working their plans into the societies beneath their illustrious purview. Most people couldn’t imagine having millions of dollars, much less billions or trillions at their disposal. The type of perceptions this brings of the world are much different than they could reasonably perceive, even amo...

Attention Seeking in the Hive Mind Collective

Losing and finding motivation in a fake online world. The perception of reality is what rules the online world, yet reality is what we have to face in our flesh and bone lives. How does the perception change the reality of our lives? The spinning stimulus the online world creates in our minds, balloons the creative ideas and then sends them shooting out the sides of the tornado. Catching these fleeting ideas and taking the time to express them becomes too arduous in a world of changing themes in the translucent hive mind concept. Before the methodical writer chews on the idea and takes the time to process them into a clarifying expression, the winds of change blow in thousands more that distract and override the initial project. The bots and human hackers, plying for greatness and attention, clamoring for a slice of the fake bot pie, have already exhausted every avenue of thought the masses are cornered into considering from social engineering tactics. Attention is scarce, and more so ...
