Compare Idaho with Oregon, which is the whiter state?

@SatyrService Portland has 7!!!!!!!!!!!! They like to smile really wide and wave their hand in front of them on the city buses and say, "HELLO THERE!" in a kind of Vaudeville voice.

@puck61 entire neighborhoods actually,, until they get gentrified.

@SatyrService You know, I'm being facetious, right? I love Portland. It's where 'real liberals' used to live a long time ago. Now it is among the many 'joke cities'. I loved real liberalism in the early eighties when I voted for Reagan! I loved North Park Blocks until the real "new generation" arrived.

@puck61 oh you are SO right,, once there was a sticker,, "keep Portland Weird"
now it is "Make portland weird again. "
there is much here still to like, a good pie shop, lots of beverages., art and music, but livability has fled, and what were once neighborhoods are now enclaves.
so many i know here must move or become destitute.
I grew up in th south and here i missed being around black folks, so i moved to the NE and now? all the folks there have had to leave, to be replaced by the Trendiest and most Vapid

@SatyrService Do you remember "Sisters of the Road Cafe"?

@puck61 YES! and quality pie,, and the matador,, been noticing how many awesome places have been replaced by fern bars and over priced doughnut shops
have run clubs there, and show places. frankly I am looking elsewhere to get some oght that back, Vancouver BC perhaps

@SatyrService I used to love the PNW, but I ended up down here. I love artsy fartsy stuff, but I am pretty conservative. People just need to take their political glasses off once in a while and see that we are all pretty much the same folks with the same absolutes in life.

@puck61 I concure, we have turned political stances into some kind of football game,
I am both lefty and righty, on various issues. this rancor of our debate is harming us as a nation

@SatyrService Some of the very best friends I've ever had have been liberal, but Trump has been a major catalyst. Even the lady from 93 who used to drunk dial me every two months. for twenty years and more- when she found out I was a Trump supporter.....she ended it all right then and there! I haven't heard from her since. I don't apologize for how I fee..
That is the 'long' and the 'short' of it.

@puck61 are you, um satisfied with mr trump?
i find some of his activities a bit. um random? some of my friends who supported him, are retracting, but he sure makes a fine show of it!

@SatyrService He's doing great, but he is an oaf. He is like an adolescent when it comes to dealing with Kim, but I'm pretty sure he will go with the right decision . He is great for the economy and his xenophobia and Islamophobia make mine look tame.

@puck61 oh he is great for SOME PARTS of the economy, just not you and me.
i was kinda surprised about how much he kissed ass to china dn russia on that trip

@SatyrService Politics. They kissed his ass too!
