Anyone might accidently step on a rake so that the handle flies up and whacks them in the face. But to deliberately stomp on the rake and then be surprised by the consequences takes a special kind of stupid — which characterizes the moonbats running Oregon:

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek (D) declared a state of emergency in Portland on Tuesday for a rising number of fentanyl deaths as some state Democrats move to roll back a drug decriminalization law.

It must not have occurred to Kotek et al. that decriminalizing recreational drugs would lead to more widespread use of them, inevitably resulting in turn in the accelerated decay of society.

The emergency declarations were a recommendation from a Portland task force last year, aimed at revitalizing the city’s downtown.

Anyone who really wants to reclaim Portland on behalf of civilization first needs to pry liberals out of power. Only then will the drug-fueled zombie apocalypse that has made Left Coast cities unlivable end.

Oregon has struggled with increasing overdoses in recent months, specifically from synthetic opioids, causing backlash against a 2020 law that decriminalized small amounts of most drugs.

The Democrats who have made fentanyl readily available throughout the country through lax drug and border policies are more responsible for the death of career criminal/liberal demigod George Floyd than Derek Chauvin is.
