I work in the travel industry. My job essentially is emergency, in travel help. So if people have flight delays, hotel problems, etc etc, I am the guy who helps get them back on track. I just took a call from a customer, the hotel he booked in Portland had a double murder last night, and he obviously did not want to stay there. So I called the hotel, and while chatting with the Sales manager, we started talking about how bad Portland has gotten, and how this country is collapsing before our very eyes. That's when the lady said "I'll give you a clue about where I stand. I was at the capitol on Jan 6th." There is hope for this country fellow Pedes. When I can call Portland, and speak with someone who deeply loves this country, and is MAGA through and through, we stand a chance.

In Portland? Wow!
We're there. It gives the actual idea of "deep within enemy territory".
For example, if I'm in Portland proper, there is no way I would feel safe reading .win on my phone without taking precautions, AND you can bet I'm armed.
7 years ago, it was such a beautiful place and I was proud to say I was from the Portland area. The changes happened quickly. As soon as the riots started and the city only prosecuted people who defended themselves from the rioters while letting antifa creeps go with no charges, I knew the fall had been complete, and so did everyone else with a brain.
Now it's flat out dangerous to even be a classical liberal. If you don't cowtow to the alter of Maoist style violent communism, you're a target.
I have friends and family in Portland and Seattle that I haven't visited in 15 years because I just refuse to set foot in urban shitholes. Unless they want to come out to the sticks, I'll probably never see them again.
I grew up mostly in Portland, so watching the riots and news footage is horrifying since I knew all those places in the 80s and 90s. Even in the mid 90s with the gang wars that drove a huge exodus from the suburbs — the city has never been so destroyed as it is. That courthouse they laid siege to is smack dab in the middle of what used to be a beautifully maintained urban core filled with families and huge street markets.
And now… i am forced to go there every few weeks for work and last week had to step over the skin popper who was needle deep with his morning starter…just hopped nothing jumped onto me. Luckily it was raining so the poop was mostly washed away.
I heard great things about San Fran and San Diego I was told “I would like”
Portland has let the shit run over.
Greater Idaho is gonna take the remaining Oregon... leaving libshit Portland on their own.
Eventually, Portland will not be able to operate independently, and Greater Idaho will take them too... and hopefully purge the woke mindset of their occupants.
Well said fellow pede. I live near Fort Lewis/McCord AFB myself. I used to love going to Seattle or Portland for weekends. Now, I won't go anywhere near either city.
I live near McCord also, last time I went to Seattle I got off the Sounder and was greeted by a pair of sweatpants used as toilet paper, haven’t been back since, this was probably 4 years ago. It’s bad enough where I’m at, I don’t need to see worse
Back in the 80s there was a shootout between some Rangers from 2nd Batt and the Crips. Happened on Ash St in Tacoma.
Over a decade ago I visited Salem with my (then) girlfriend. It was clean, no junkies, hell it was after dark and kids were running around in the park like it was pre-2000. It was safe. We sat outside and had a drink with zero issues. She fell in love with the place and wanted to move there.
Last time I was in that area, it was 2019 and an absolute shithole. Junkies shooting up in broad daylight and harassing people outside the same coffee shop.
In 2019 my folks visited Tigard. Right in the parking lot of their hotel was a car with all the windows smashed in. When they mentioned it to the front desk employee,
... They realized how fucked it really was at that point.
Folks have friends in Portland and they like to visit the Rose Garden and the Japanese garden. My mother refuses to venture into Portland nowadays. My dad, who grew up in Brooklyn and is still a scary guy even in his 70s, won't go either because he will probably beat someone to death if they harass him or his wife.
If I ever need to venture into that shithole, I find a hotel near the place I am going that will valet park my car. Already had one stolen and a few vehicles almost stolen.
Wife and I ALWAYS carry, everywhere we go, and we go to the range multiple times per week. She EDCs a 10mm during the colder months.
It's sad, like you said - 7 years ago it wasn't really bad. You could go out drinking and to a movie or concert then wander around late at night to grab something to eat and you were perfectly safe. Now? I felt safer clearing rooms during my time in the Army than I do going into Portland. I have a TON of stories about the things I have encountered in the past few years.
we need to turn this thread into a story
I long to visit the Pacific Northwest one day (Florida fag here)
Even where I live…it’s gotten different. You see the govt cheese addicts everywhere and where my grandfather used to take me for walks and it was like, 40% senior citizens.
My buddy pre 2020 visited Seattle and said it was “the most beautiful city he had ever been to”
The pacific northwest is beautiful, but the weather, when paired with hopeless political decisions, really fucks the place.
There's no way coming back once Democrats takeover a City Government. They will cheat steal elections and there is no recourse with Soros DA's.
I was at Adventist Hospital in Portland with a relative waiting while they were having a procedure. I logged into their internet. I tried to bring up this site. It would not let me.
Yup, there are still Patriots on the I5 corridor. We're outnumbered, and behind enemy lines, but we refuse to surrender to them. Patriot Prayer is still strong in this area.
In war, it is always good to have deeply embedded people behind enemy lines...it is here they can vastly magnify the size and power of the good army. It would be a full capitulation were all the Patriots to abandon the field.
In the 503, can confirm.
I5 pede here, III% is strong!
The cheat runs deep, I would love to see President Trump's true vote count numbers.
We will soon see the true figures. EVERY STATE voted to elect Donald Trump...
Remember when, just as polls closed, FOX news showed California, Oregon and Washington states solid BLUE? I knew the fix was in. As it turns out, every state voted RED.
Sorry dude, but you need to put that pipe down. I lived in Portland for many years and it is a wretched leftist hive. Multnomah county (like King in Seattle) runs the whole state by numbers and you'll be hard pressed to find anyone within Portland city limits that isn't an NPC who agrees with the latest thing. I bet if you went down to 10th and Madison or the park blocks near PSU and took a poll you'd find it is greater than 10:1 leftists. You might even get assaulted asking the questions. Oregon is full of lovely people outside city limits trying to ignore the insanity and Washington is the same, but don't for a second delude yourself that they need to cheat to win in these states.
Just 2 more weeks, right?
When and from who?
There’s more of us than them. The left’s numbers are a mirage.
I'm in 253 also...same here...many deplorables...we find each other.
Spontaneous boat rally, sounds like fun and also good band name!
Yep. Wear their contempt like a badge of fuckin’ honor and you gotta stay ready at all times. Situational awareness 101.
Stop pretending like you actually leave your mom's basement, glowfag.
Hahahaha buddy I just arrived in the Caribbean yesterday for a two week vacation. My brethren. I forgive you!
Sure you did. First thing you do on vacation is hop on PDW and spam the board...
Nah, duder.
Bet, my forgiven fren. Bet.
Bet on what? That you're a useless faggot that spams the board while pretending to be "on vacation in the Caribbean."
Not sure you have thought this one through... you're a pathetic faggot, and the fact that you're trying to pretend that spamming the board while you're "on vacation" is something to boast about - only makes you even more pathetic.
Bruh. There is down time on vacay, you silly goose! Just got in from a swim and fun in the sun (I was doing the sun part earlier when I replied) and now I might take a nap. Who knows?! What I do know, though, is that I FORGIVE YOU!
the retards are all in the cities. like it's the plan to put them there almost.
the people outside of the cities in Oregon and Washington and even California are based as fuck.
citiots are a real problem that needs to be dealt with, they've taken over all of our communication, tricking dumbass normals into thinking their way.
My uncle lives in the Portland area and claims that in 2020 he voted Republican (for Trump) for the first time in his life because of what the scum have done to the place. It takes more than that to stop the slide though.
It'll probably take gallows brother.
I know the feeling. I live in a suburb near Albuquerque. I can tell you where to find FJB flags and a giant "Alex Jones was Right" sign in someone's backyard.
Recently some idiot put up a small billboard (You know, the kind small businesses usually use) on a side street that says "It's good to be woke". Today when I drove by it, initially I had my usual annoyed reaction, until I noticed someone had climbed up and wrote "EVIL" in big red letters over the "good".
You talked to the single conservative in Portland. Don't confuse that for the rule.
My sister lives there, deeply conservative. I know multiple people who live in Portland that are ULTRA MAGA. Some Patriot Prayer members actually live in Portland, so do some Proud Boys.
Are you under the impression this changes anything? Portland has consistently moved left, not right. The exception to the rule is not the rule. You should understand this.
The only Portland I ever went to, or would ever go to, is in Maine.
Even Portland, Maine is going woke. Not dangerous, just woke. To many Massholes moved up there.
and now they're importing Somalis.
Oh they started that in 2001. In 2001 a thousand Somalis were relocated to Lewiston, Maine. Ever since then, more and more of them have moved into Maine. They get the most free benefits there. Some have moved out of Lewiston and now call Portland their shithole.
Close to a thousand this year
The only thing in Maine gayer than Portland is Ogunquit.
That sounds like Barack trying to say his last name and while deepthroating Michelle.
Portland Maine is gone. As is most of the coast.
A lot people forget there are normal people everywhere. Some stuck in place and cant afford to move (blue cities/states already expensive), some just have good jobs and spent their whole life there and others have cultivated social blunders to just block out the stupids throughout their day.
To them I say this... it's not gonna get better there. Do anything you can to get out while it's not even harder than already is.
The problem is that malignant narcissists control EVERY organization with power. There's NOTHING to offset them; everything is centralized, elections are rigged, the "Justice System" is pure tyranny, the Constitution & Rule of Law are just memories, and we can't even communicate without tyrannical alphabet agencies listening in & social media censoring every word we say. Even if every single American sees the reality, what can we do? Even if we weren't neutered of testosterone, who do we go to war against? We don't even know who is involved in orchestrating the end of America (and humanity itself), and we certainly won't be able to get to them to turn things around.
> Was at work
> Loves our country.
Story checks out.
There are often more Republicans in big cities than there are in entire red states. Organize.
There are FAR more of us than we think
pfft… january of what year though?
kidding. thanks for the optimism your post brings.
Wow, this place really is reddit 2.0
You just inspired me to check up on an old middle school buddy of mine who lives near Portland (not in it, mind you) He visited us down south about 10 or so years ago and when I kept mocking Portland, he didn't get it.
I've just looked on his Facebook and I think he maybe understands now what I was talking about. Lots of based memes. I think it wasn't really that bad back then, just a hipstery atmosphere. It's gotta be heartbreaking to live through.
I was born and raised in Portland, and lived there all my life up until 4 years ago. There are very VERY few MAGA people, and the majority are quiet about it... I wasn't!
I would wear my MAGA gear openly while working throughout Portland. Fuck around and find out!
They are everywhere.
My heart! What a wonderful thing.
Sadly, she could have been antifa too
No. Not really. Not if the conversation went as he said and she agreed Portland sucks...
are you sure this person was MAGA and not an ANTIFA infiltrator?
“Remember this. The people you're trying to step on, we're everyone you depend on. We're the people who do your laundry and cook your food and serve your dinner. We make your bed. We guard you while you're asleep. We drive the ambulances. We direct your call. We are cooks and taxi drivers and we know everything about you. We process your insurance claims and credit card charges. We control every part of your life. Don't fuck with us.” -Tyler Durden
Don't ve too surprised.
Every liberal shit hole has tons of patriots there!
1/3rd of NYC is conservative.
Double murder in Portland, did they give a description of the chairs and ropes?
I used to travel to Portland at least once a year for business functions. My organization won't even hold events there anymore.
I've never had to use emergency travel help. Always traveled by myself, made my own plans, and didn't even know that service existed, but want to thank you for what you do. It can't be easy. I'm sure you've had to deal with a good number of ingrates while doing your job. I worked in Corrections. My clients didn't have a choice as to where they stayed, even if there was a murder in the prison block.🤣
That's an awesome job. I picture retired 70s tour managers getting into this field.
"Yeah, nothing's more stressful than John Bonham running low at 3am while Ozzy needs a cuddle. Now I get these fat fakkers a room when the plane's delayed. Lazy sods."
Yah I'm an old grandpa who is too beat up from a blue collar life to do it anymore, and I refuse to not have a job. So I do this. :)
Dominion has entered the chat ... 🤡
FarmerHuck >> Cool story!
Be careful not to give anyone info about this manager or they'll get him fired for being a good guy.
I truly believe we are the supermajority. They control the media and are able to project louder than we can but our ideals are what normies find attractive.
She is an informant getting info on you.
We stand no chance. It's over.
She was at J6 as an Antifa actor.
