Our government and our people are going to protect womens' rights, our fantastic health care system, our stewardship of our magnificent environment, and the commitment to democratic norms and ideals. Donald Trump won't get to us here--he couldn't even find us on a map, and his orange rage is focused on California anyway.
Portland is a beautiful place with awesome people. Our residents MAGA who sneer at Portland do so out of envy. Y'all really should visit before Trump makes it illegal to do so. You'd be impressed by how nice everything looks and how pleasant and considerate the people are. And I say that not because of politics, but because of experience. It's just a much more pleasant place to be than most other locations and societal milieux.
As we did when Trump caused the nationwide spread of covid, we will accept refugees to the extent of our ability. After all, we won't have inflation here, as we'll make free trade deals with Canada, Mexico, and Asia, and our food prices will be dramatically lower than elsewhere, since unlike the rest of the country, we'll still have farm workers.
Come on over. We'll have some awesome craft beer waiting for you.
