Portland right now is in outright anarchy like Mad Max. Multiple shootings every day, rioting and looting, police either have left or are not responding to calls. There have been something like 150 shootings just in January.
But you won’t see that anywhere in the media. News about Portland is largely being censored.
The Time article explaining how the elite manipulated the media and laws to steal an election rationalized their actions as “fortifying democracy”. What they are attempting to do through the MSM, social media, and public policy is to create a “managed reality”.
The idea is to saturate the minds of people with their narrative of reality and repeat the lies until they are believed as truth. Anyone who challenges them is not merely wrong but a threat and must be “disappeared” from society.
Orwell saw this coming in the ‘40s. This is the CCP model.
