      Did you read the article? Like, everyone is against this. The governor is against this. I live in Oregon and I promise you this entire thing is absurd.

      In fact, it’s so absurd that it seems more likely that this is a bizarre false flag by the Republicans to discredit “the liberals”. Evidence for this includes Republican leaders already publicly claiming this is an attack on Oregon’s economy by “[Oregon governor Tina] Kotek’s allies” (unspecified)… Despite Kotek herself being vocally against this.

      Edit: and it’s frustrating how effective it is, just looking at the comments in this thread. No real questioning about the legitimacy of what’s happening, just taking the article title at face value despite it being extremely misleading.

      Oregon has always been red. It was literally founded as a “whites only” ethnostate.

      Only Portland is blue.

      (That’s meant only to be historical context, not commentary about this apparently bullshit hunting ban.)
