The Oregon Capitol in Salem, barricaded in anticipation of political violence on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, 2021.
After four years of Donald Trump as leader, conservative groups across the country are continuing to reassess the future of the Republican party. And it looks as though the GOP in Oregon is choosing to lean into a Trumpist approach.
Republican lawmakers gathered indoors Feb. 21 at a VFW hall in Salem to decide on a new direction for their party in Oregon. Few, if any, people wore masks.
The meeting came at a time of soul searching in the conservative movement nationwide, as the failed insurrection of Jan. 6 has forced party leaders to confront the reality of extremists and anti-democratic voices within their ranks.
