It’s quite clear that post is from someone who watches Fox News nonstop so they get their marching orders to hate Seattle and Portland. Never mind that most people who live in these places are just normal folks going to work everyday. It’s the same people who hate California, forget that the majority of the whole country gets its fresh food from the state. And I would agree, it’s both sides, I just see the vitriol for hating whole swaths of this country and it’s residents seems to be a particularly popular thing in the Tucker Carlson fan base.
Yeah…. I hear ya brother…. and I really don’t want this to turn into thread creep here, cause honestly, the amazing thing you need to know about what’s going on here at Alaska in the pilot ranks is that, on April 1st, assuming 9Mike was off work, pretty decent chance he and over 1500 of his Alaska compadres, crossing literally every line of the political/social/gender/geographic/racial spectrum was and is unified in telling management…. “Y’all need to listen up.” So we can all live where we want, vote how we want, support the causes we want, etc. We got hard right wingers, hard left wingers and everything in between here man. And for the vast majority rock solid professionals to share a few hours in the cockpit with. 👍🏻
