Pacific Northwest and certain parts of the northeast

    If you live in the city or directly adjacent this is true, but it gets republican really fast once you get a bit more into the trees.

    Depends on the area. North Central WA for example is lots of Republicans but lots of Hippies too. I remember hearing an elderly granola looking lady complaining to her friend that the feds busted her whole grow-op. Southern Oregon can be like that: MAGA on one property but the Neighbors are Deadheads wearing tie dye

    Oregon was originally founded as an all-white state. The PNW has lots of racists and they all live in the stix since they think Portland and Seattle are portals to Hell.

    And as far as the Northeast is concerned, I think only Vermont has rural areas that aren't MAGA.

    East of the cascades it's all racism. But to the west I didn't encounter it much. But that may just be an anecdotal comparison to the actual shit holes I have lived in where racism thrived rather than lurked.

    I traveled all over Oregon and Washington after living in the southeast.

    What you say holds true but to a lesser degree than true red areas.

    A lot of the people who consider themselves conservative would be relentlessly bullied for being a liberal if they moved to an actual red area.

    It's funny because their utopian views of conservative areas mirrored my utopian view of Seattle when I lived in a conservative shit hole.
