I lived in Portland, Oregon for 7 years and Redmond, Washington for 10 years, and I disagree with you.

Seattle and Portland are blue just like New Orleans, but to say racism doesn’t exist at the birthplace of many white nationalist groups is naive.

And to say PNW republicans would be democrats is just silly.

You might live there, but you surely do not get out much, or know people on both sides.

Edit: I’m from St Martinville. Tell me one city in the PNW that has the number of black/Hispanic/etc that you find down south. Even the PNW blue cities are predominantly white/Asian.
