Bill, I appreciate your response. I became very frustrated with the political turn this thread took - really ruins the atmosphere as far as I'm concerned.

I'm from the PNW and understand what happened in Oregon and Washington since the '80's. Both shifted and today are far left states. There are other examples across the country of states that used to be swing states that are now far right and far left - California, Tennessee, West Virginia, Texas, and many, many more. All these states - total blue and ruby red are microcosms of our polarized society today. That's exactly why I prefer this sports board stay exactly that - a sports board. You cannot win trying to change peoples' political position with a post on social media sites - it's a fool's errand and always - 100% of the time - creates animosity that devolves into a cesspool.
