If all those anti-Trumpers who said they are moving to Canada if Trump wins…actually moved, part of Oregon might not have to join Idaho. But that will not happen. Think Canada would want those schmucks!!!!!!

I'm glad this worked for you. Where I live, every person I know (except one) who had a Trump sign in his yard or a Trump bumper sticker in 2016 and 2020 had his house or car vandalized. The Democrats were vicious. I lost several Democrat friends because they suddenly hated me for not agreeing with them politically. Democrats do not mean the "inclusive" part of DEI if you differ from them.

Their DEI actually stands for DOMINATE, ELIMINATE, AND INSULT.

Ha! Good definition! I thought it meant Didn't Earn It. Kathy, you live behind enemy lines, just like we did when we lived in the Portland area. Starting in mid 1990s Democrat thugs would vandalize a house or car that had signs they didn't like. Of course, police did nothing. Have you read any of my "Living Behind Enemy Lines" articles? Please send me your experience and I will turn it into an article. I will not use your name.

In the age of ring cameras, it surprises me that people are still dumb enough to steal signs, etc. It's way too easy to find out who has been on your property. But you are right about the police not doing anything about it anyway.

Keep in mind, in Blue jurisdictions, the police don't even come to your house if you have a burglary and steals valuable items. They certainly won't come out if someone removes a sign from your yard. Even if you file a police report, they will not investigate. Democrats have no shame. If you recognize the thief, they don't care. You forget: THEY are superior to YOU.

Do remember Bob Tiernan sending his family out of state to avoid political violence. He served in the Oregon House of Representatives representing our 24th House district, in the early 1990s that included most of Lake Oswego and portions of southwestern Portland. Then the Democrats got to work and gerrymandered his district. It became the 38th District in 2021. The boundary now contains portions of Clackamas County and DEEP BLUE Multnomah County. It includes most of Lake Oswego as well as parts of Tigard and Durham and the South Waterfront neighborhood of South Portland. LO was once a bastion of conservatism but that evaporated after 2000. As goes Multnomah County, Portland, and now Lake Oswego, so goes the DEEP BLUE State of Oregon. Remember anti-tax conservative Bill Sizemore who was one of the first Democrat lawfare victims for opposing Oregon's obscene tax structure.

This, in my memory, is when the Oregon Democrats' violence and intimidation began, LONG before Trump. By the 2016 election, the average Democrat turned nasty. When Trump won, they lost their minds: https://www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2017/03/with_trump_haters_reasoning_an.html

At this moment those feminists must be dancing with joy that President Trumps has been convicted of 34 fabricated crimes by a jury of New York Trump hating Democrats. What many Trump haters fail to recognize is that the Justice Department, Judge Merchan, Alvin Bragg and his team of prosecutors have set basic law and due process back to the Dark Age. That this debauchery of the law happened today in America is stunning.

During the George W. Bush election campaign, a Bush yard sign was torn down on the quiet cul-de-sac where we lived in Lake Oswego. We felt violated. We were warned by friends to not display any pro-Bush bumper stickers. It would prevent vehicle damage. With the Obama and Biden elections, the underlying sense of our rights being violated only intensified. This was confirmed by the Democrats' Russia hoax, President Trump's impeachments, the rigged 2020 election, the J6 "insurrection" scam and today's on-going persecution of President Trump, his associates and his lawyers. Biden's corrupt, autocratic America is NOT our America. With Obama's White House minions prodding and advising him, Biden has turned our great nation into a tyrannical Banana Republic that we reject. We'll fight back. We're standing with Donald Trump to Make America Great Again.

I know how you felt. Slowly, since the mid-90s, Democrats thought they had to right to bully Republicans. In my memory, the threats of violence began when there was a ballot measure that would decrease pensions for government employees. Union members lost their minds! Remember? The sponsor was Bob Tiernan who was a state rep or state senator. It got so nasty and threatening he had to send his wife & kids out of state until after the election. Hatred from Democrats chased us out of the dream house we built. So, we'll be damned if another Liberal was going to move onto our street and start making our lives miserable. It only takes one. BTW, Tiernan is one of my subscribers.

Voted for Bob Tiernan every chance we could.
