‘Fraid you’re wrong on the Occupy Anchorage, batshit crazy lefties are alive and well in Anchorage and a handful of the usual suspects have been singing songs and carrying signs. It’s getting chilly here, teens – twenties, so they were inside a downtown mall over the weekend to “occupy” a Wells Fargo branch, which got them thrown out and a couple arrested.
Since Juneau is the capital city, downtown Juneau might as well be Berzerkley North, the suburbs are Purple leaning Red. Fairbanks has a big college population so the parts around the University are full of lefies and also organized labor is quite powerful in FAI. Downtown Anchorage is full of people whose grandfather made a bunch of money mining or some such in the early days, married a whore, not enough teachers and nurses to go around, and sent Junior to Hahvud so it’s pretty reliably Blue as are the areas around the University and the heavily ethnic East side of town.
