Yes, the left does not or refuses to recognize they are their own punch line these day with all their bleating and whining. But, I'm sure there are a few folks in portland that are not laughing but are "stuck" either by family ties or financial reasons. Sadly, it seems much of the left coast is in the same situation.

From what I have seen of the Portland police regarding Antifa and the others, they don’t put up with it.

Apparently the left likes to “burn” their own neighborhood, be they black or white.
They would not want to try their antics in Louisville. Too many of us carry in our cars, and if we are in fear of serious physical harm (rioters would tend to do that) we have a right to use deadly force - and will.

We lived in Portland in the late 80’s, to mid 90’s....it was a great place then. Now (we’re an hour away now)...we avoid it.

I used to say, those who thought Berkeley was too conservative, moved to Portland.
Portland is popular for two reasons.
Drugs...
and if you can’t get layed in Portland, you probably are not breathing.

Very good article. Also, the TV show "Portlandia" is mentioned. I have that available to stream on my Netflix but never bothered because I figured it would be a celebration of leftism. Yet the article states that the show makes fun of leftism.
If Freepers can corroborate that, I might check out the show after all.

I hate Portland. Worse than Seattle in many ways.

The left is proving there are no limits to stupidity. Its not just absence of intelligence, which would have a limit at zero. There is a negative intelligence, which in theory can be infinite. The left is testing that theory daily.

The far left in Portland.... To paraphrase Turkey's Erdoğan...
There is no left.
There is only Far Left.
