Fuck you. I've lived here all my life and I was one of the few that joined Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys for the first Trump rally in downtown Portland.

Thank you for doing that and I believe wholeheartedly in what you tried to do. Out of respect for you and others who so passionately believed in what you were doing, I'll remain silent on the rest of my opinion.

Thank you and I apologize for my over reaction. You aren't 100% wrong.

Two things:

  1. Portland got fucked when they introduced mail-in ballots and the Dems cheated their way into overpowering any other political party here. That, and that stupid Portlandia caused progressives from all over the country to move here and do this shit.

  2. I remember back in the early 90s I covered two of Bush Sr's visits here for my video class at school. I noticed both times the stupid liberal protests would start to faze out, then a group of young dudes dressed all in black (anarchists, who changed their name to antifa a few years ago but didn't change anything else) would come in and start shit. The "peaceful protesters" wouldn't try to stop them from doing shit like throwing m-80s onto Interstate 5, but they would bitch and moan if the police rightfully stopped them and beat their asses. They've been using the left for decades to cover for them so they can just cause chaos. Also, prior to this year, the anarchists would have a "parade" every May Day where they would throw bricks through windows and cause destruction. Portland has had decades to flush these assholes out and never even tried.

That's interesting and I believe both your points are true. My two crazy commie nieces both moved to Portland to "retire" in their twenties". It was actually in their thirties but they never grew up.

Sounds about right. Whenever I meet new neighbors they are here from blue states. And they always assume that I too am a liberal. So now when I meet someone new, I say "FYI I'm a conservative. I'm telling you this so you don't get too comfortable and shit all over the right then watch you cringe when I tell you I'm not like you."

I have that memorized, sadly. Have to say it often.

You don't really prove his point wrong, especially when you say "one of the few that joined". Obviously, I wouldn't expect huge turn-outs to such groups, but just pointing out how it doesn't lend credence to your argument against his.

I'm sure the majority of Portland residents hate it and want it to stop. But the wealthy liberals and leftists are the ones sharing their voice, and that voice is "everything is great, we love this, look at how nice my park is there's nothing bad going on here."

I have a HUGE problem whenever people here say "fuck the city of _____ they deserve what they get" because none of these shitholes (Portland included) is 100% liberal. The thinking is us conservatives should flee these cities and let them win. Oregon is a red state but Portland overwrites the votes of the rest of this huge state and that has to change too.

Don't abandon the shitholes, they are still American cities and we should never give in to this, we should always fight.

What do you think Kimberly Klacik is trying to do? She's saying cities can't function when they are too liberal for too long and people are dying and suffering as a result. You can say "Fuck Baltimore" but thank God she isn't.

It would be a MAJOR help to these places if we could completely do away with mail-in voting.
