    Trump’s administration treats Portland like a whipping boy because despite being a rather milquetoast average-liberal town, we have an unearned reputation as an edgy leftist enclave merely from serving as refugee city for the region’s LGBTQ+ crowd. I don’t know if the administration is aware that outside the Willamette Valley, things get red and MAGA fast. That entire eastern region currently on fire all went to Trump in the 2024 election. They’re just letting some of their most dedicated constituency go up in flames, quite literally.
