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.

The Online World is Not Reality

Reality is outside of the online world. This may seem like an obvious statement once it is said, yet most of our modern problems are being caused by people not understanding this truth, that the online world is not reality, that reality is outside of the online world. Just estimating the percentage of generations when it comes to online technology, I would say it goes something like this: Boomers: 70% reality 30% online X: 60% reality 40% online Millennials: 50% reality 50% online Z: 30% reality 70% online Alpha: 10% reality 90% online Beta: project this generation to be 99% online 1% reality Essentially, we are moving towards a time when almost all people will think the online world is reality, and those who know reality is outside of the online world will be very few and far between. Social engineering is guiding the mainstream culture and most subcultures, including the false religious systems, in order to create this outcome, where nearly everyone is deceived into thinking the onli...

What Happens to the Writer's Brain

Too many ideas and voices. It’s been around 40 days since I published an article, and I wanted to explain what happens in the writer’s brain. Essentially, I have too many ideas for articles to write and this causes my brain to meltdown and write nothing. While these ideas are flowing through the brain, life is happening; appliances need replacing, cars need repair, family trips, people passing away, bills getting lost in the mail, and other life happenings like work and chores. In between all of this, these ideas sometimes don’t find place to be expressed in the short time frame I have to share them. The exercise becomes too difficult, the writing takes a back seat to just relaxing and doing productive things around the homestead. Still, the writing brain is getting backed up with all of these ideas, and it begins to distrust they will ever see the light of day by being expressed and published. The hope of finding a fluid streamlined workflow for these ideas to be published diminishes ...
