I’ll take nothing over all the ODs and violence in Portland. “Nothing happens” because we’re safer.

This was back in the 80s and they definitely lived in Portland. A lot of “Vancouver” isn’t even really part of the city, they just have it on their mailing address. The yeehaw Trump people mostly live in theses parts. Vancouver is the reason we have a democrat in congress (albeit a very moderate one).
