To go beat up hipsters with pet pigs who run the local tattoo parlor? Have these idiots ever stepped foot in Portland?

    No, they haven't. They probably believe the lies they spread that Portland and Seattle are burned-out war zones.

    All the places that are far more densely populated and have a far higher gdp per capita. The small bits on the map that turn blue that they don't like.

    It's against their new cults teachings to understand basic facts and so can't understand those blue dots are 90% of the countries econony

    Same reason they look at the red/blue maps by county, see all that red and it validates the belief that the entire country is with them and the elections are being stolen. Can't fathom the fact most of that red is completely empty.
