Some far-right Oregon MAGA candidates rely on overtly false propaganda to stir-up feelings of hate for fellow Oregonians. That's how Angela Plowhead is trying to get your vote. At the end she says: "The video is satire. The issues behind it are real." Bunch of AI slopaganda.
Angela Plowhead for Oregon post: We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming with some good news.

Crime is mostly peaceful.

It seems like some of these folks make their money through religious-based rehab and criminal diversion programs. I wonder how much of their money comes from state and county taxpayer funds?

Some proselytizing groups do nearly nothing to provide for the material needs of the people they "minister" to. Others swoop-in for a few hours hoping a few words of kindness and a water bottle will be enough to hook a convert. Some have long-term strategies with shelters and regular meals.

MAGA deems certain people unworthy of government assistance and support so they sic the right-wing Christian Nationalists on them and so they can either pull themselves up by the bootstraps or die a miserable death on the sidewalk while electeds drive by.

Clackamas GOP calling for a ban in elected office of all people with Canadian ancestry. Do they hear themselves? Is this the best criticism they've got of their opponent? That she might eventually apply for proof of Canadian citizenship because Canada is more accepting and less xenophobic?
Clackamas County Republican Party is with Oregon Republican Party, Sept 28: OREGON LEGISATURE WITH DUAL CITIZENSHIP?!
Residents of Estacada and Canby! 
Would someone please ask D-Nicole Bassett if she has dual citizenship, Canadian and US? 
Canada passed Bill C-3 which came into effect on Dec. 15, 2025. It removed long-standing "first generation limit" on citizenship by descent. It changed the law so that multiple generations born abroad can inherit Canadian citizenship if there is a qualifying Canadian ancestor. Citizenship is automatic if you qualify, but you must apply for a certificate to prove it. 
Has Bassett applied yet? Will she wait until she's elected to apply? Do we want someone with Canadian citizenship serving in our Oregon Legislature? 
Vote for Jeff Helfrich for Oregon Senate District 26!

The vice-chair of the Clackamas County Republicans IS a Proud Boy who's been known for fascist street fighting, and also has been spotted attending Athey Creek Church. Here the Clackamas GOP calls it a religious duty for Christians to "occupy" Oregon government for their MAGA Jesus.
Clackamas County Republican Party post from Oct 4, 2026: "If the Church in Willamette Valley was more civically engaged, Oregon would have a balanced government. 'Occupy until I return.'"

You're weekly reminder that some Christians will lie to your face. The Jesus March in Portland this year had at most 400 people, probably closer to 300. One Christian supremacist propagandist posted this recently, claiming they had 4000 young Christians marching through Portland.

When NAR "prophets" use AI to illustrate their divine visions, sometimes they use some interesting symbolism. Here one posted an AI slop image of a US soldier with what looks like a Nazi medal? That's how he envisions god's angels coming to do violence? USA Nazi?

It kind of illustrates how TurningPoint high school clubs are designed to exclude people who don't fit within their idea of a supremacist culture.

Notice how these white supremacist Christian nationalists believe they hold the authority to exclude other Christian sects from Christianity? If you're not MAGA and don't support their nationalism, they'll say you aren't a True Christian.

It's good to see some people resisting these white supremacists and anti-LGBTQ+ Christian Nationalist bigots. These are the same MAGAs who spoke at Gathering of the Eagles with a bunch of J6ers, election deniers, and Steve Bannon.
Nolan Crombie post in Salem: Oregon TPUSA Students showed up to talk. Others showed up to drown them out. 🇺🇸
This weekend, our Club America students set up a table outside the Salem Farmers Market to start conversations about free speech and conservative values.
It didn't take long. A group called "Singing Resistance" planted themselves right in front of our booth and danced and sang for the rest of the event. The goal was obvious: keep people away and stop conversations before they started.
They weren't alone. By the end, our students were surrounded by THREE groups: the singers you see in the video, a Pride-accepting church "blessing dogs" or whatever that means, and an old timer holding an anti-Trump sign.
So what did our students do? They stayed calm. They walked over and talked with the "church's" head pastor. They listened, asked questions, and engaged respectfully. And the moment there was real disagreement, the other side walked away with high emotions.
That's the difference. Our students came ready to talk. Others came ready to make noise.
These are high school students. They're not looking for a fight. They're looking for a conversation. And that's exactly why I believe in this work.

It's probably their close connection to TPUSA, Charlie Kirk, and cheerleading for Trump. They've created a sanctuary and support system for fascists who merge Christianity with nationalism.

I use the term “MAGA” a lot because, in the future, it will be used like the term “Nazi” and everyone will immediately despise the people associated with it. Most MAGAs aren’t terrible all the time though, they’re often pretty average but bought into fascism and their values began to rot. MAGA

It’s also notable that the accountability systems are often designed by the police and police unions to be as ineffective as possible and to stand in the way of accountability while convincing the public they’re serious about accountability, just trust us but don’t look too closely.
