“how can they lose recruits since most of the Antifa/BLM terrorists are **white*** and arrested, quickly released?”
Not happening where I live. The state is charging the commie rioters under its anti-klan laws. The penalties are severe, including the death penalty for leaders of the riot. Word gets around and the rioters stop showing up. Several are marking time in the state prison.
These actions by the state force the commies to head back to safe enclaves like Portland where, as you said, they are released by leftist politicians.
As the rioters are concentrated in these leftist enclaves, it gives the feds time to identify the commie leaders and bring federal charges against them. This will eventually drain the commies of leadership and manpower.
So, I agree with you that they have some semblance of power in their Portland base, but it won’t last long.
The commies also made a serious tactical blunder when they attacked Mexican communities in late May. The Mexicans set up barricades to protect their homes and businesses and manned the positions with people carrying AKs. The BLM racists were beaten, dragged out of cars and chased back into their ghettos. The actions by the Mexicans, in effect, pinned the black racists down and they couldn’t move out to riot in other areas.
Thus, the counterattack against the commies by states, armed local communities and the Mexican citizens have effectively narrowed the area from which the commies can operate. These counterattacks force the commies to retreat into friendly areas like Portland.
Now Trump steps in with federal law enforcement to ID and arrest the commies in their stronghold. It’s a great plan, IMO.
How is because he terrorists are using the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) to bail and defend them. This guild has longtime ties to the Communist Party USA . If the terrorists are not yet using them in your area, they will.
