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:
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.
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.
They live off mommy and daddy. Mommy and Daddy were great careerists. Terrible parents though. Also one of my "nieces" decided to marry a woman and then became a man. She's 36.
Sadly, mommy and daddy, massive environmentalist but never walk the walk, have come to the realization they will never have grand kids. Mommy is particularly broken up about this and swallows a bottle every night. I am polite when I see them at family events but I don't go out of my way for them. I have had enough lectures from them too about how I should live my life.
Edit: okay, honestly, they both have jobs in Portland but I strongly suspect their parents are "helping them out".

Hey Jack. Don't mean to interrupt your conversation, but did you find your truck?
Sorry. Had to ask. Love that movie.
By retire do you mean live off welfare? Cause they sound like that type
