We already know that the GOP and its followers thrive on one emotion: TERROR! They are absolutely TERRIFIED of the following (in no particular order): women, equal pay, health care, Black people, Brown people, some Asian people, LGBTQ people, Atheists, immigrants, Russia investigations, sexual assault investigations, protesters, and especially SCIENCE. (Science? Quick! Buy as many guns as you can!) And apparently, local conservatives have added another blood-chilling TERROR to their list.. the Pacific Northwest!
Local radio personality (yes, apparently radio personalities still exist, even in 2017) Lars Larson of KXL 101 FM is leading the charge of being terrified of his own home by publishing the following poll on Twitter:
Have the big cities of the Northwest become too dangerous to tolerate?

Currently the TERRIFIED people are winning with a whopping 69 percent of the vote—though in fairness, one doesn’t listen to Lars Larson unless one is already terrified (probably of the things mentioned above). HOWEVER! In fairness, the Mercury is pleased to run a competing—and far more scientifically accurate—poll.
Innocent victims gunned down in cold blood, children turning on their parents and a culture that supports it all.
Yup, Roseburg is a terrifying portion of the Northwest.
You needed another option. “Yes. The Pacific Northwest, Portland especially, is completely terrifying, with too many murders, drug needles everywhere, etc… You’ll probably be gunned down next week. You’d better leave. You’d better leave right now. Your life is in danger and can only be saved by moving out of the Portland metro area. We’ve heard Texas is safe. You should move there immediately. It’s just too dangerous for you to stay. Leave. Please leave. Please go now. We care about you!”
There’s a home for people who are afraid of the PNW. It’s called Alabama. Leave your daughters here.
