Rebranded as the Rational in Portland podcast.

We speak to Susan Griffin (Twitter handle @SusanGriffin530), a lesbian Portlander and lifelong Democrat who lives downtown. She describes herself as a "forgotten resident". She is physically and mentally disabled, and she spoke to me from her wheelchair about what it was like to live through 200 days of rioting in Portland, Oregon, from her government-subsidized housing. Learn what separates Susan from those living on the street around her in encampments and how she copes with her mental illnesses, addiction, and living in a city that she feels has utterly abandoned her.

It's hard to speak out in Portland. That's why we have this podcast. Today you will hear from Sarah, a 20-year-old who voted for Trump and is a conservative from Portland. Before today, the only people who knew Sarah's political affiliation were her family. She opens up to us about what it's like to be a conservative in Portland.
