I know a couple of Oregon transplants, fled here for safety, rights, cheap cost of living, etc. Now that they've been here for a few years, they still bring up some pretty extreme liberal notions and ideas and believe that Oklahoma should do the same. I told them lovingly, they're forever brainwashed and not to be messing up what we have here in OK lol. Other than views of the ocean or standing next to some redwoods, they shouldn't be missing nothing from Oregon.And I've seen post after post on this very forum encouraging and welcoming people from the "left coast". I personally know former Californians here in the Tulsa area that are "conservative" and like guns, but are so socially liberal they may as well be Antifa. Gun ownership is no indicator of conservative views.
Franklin was chosen by Bynum for one reason, and I knew he'd be the new Chief when they showed the candidates. Bynum can't suck up enough to one particular demographic, and having Franklin in the running must have made his pants tight.
