We agree on at least one thing. And probably a lot more. But trump isn't one of them.
I have friends that voted for trump. They won't do it again. In fact they don't even want to talk about him so we don't. One friend told me that when he voted he thought he was voting for the less of two evils as both candidates were terrible. Saying it was the worst 2 choices in election history. Hell I can't stand Clinton either. It's really a shame that with 330 million people the best we could come up with was Clinton and trump.
Oh, I just got back from downtown. I parked, walked to my destination, strolled around for a bit, and came home. Didn't see one fire or act of violence. But come nightfall the same 100 - 200 people with gather at one of several locations, light fires in the streets, vandalize, throw rocks at the police, and then scatter before dawn. They think they're doing something but all their doing is sowing violence.
When the Feds were here they were not just protecting Federal property. They were roaming around in unmarked vehicles and snatching people off the street blocks away from any federal property like in some third world country ran by a dictator. They would hold them for the maximum 72 hours and then release them without charges. They exceeded their mission of protecting federal property and instead went on an intimidation mission which I can guarantee came from trump himself. When they couldn't be intimidated someone smart told trump to back off before any civilians got killed by Federal LE because the images would be devastating for his Presidency. It would be trumps Kent State. If you're not old enough to know about it look it up. But basically 4 student protesters were killed.
The entire right/left nonsense is ridiculous. I'm not right or left. I'm an American. I'll vote for both Democrats and Republicans. I vote based on qualifications and trump was not qualified to be President so I didn't vote for him. My first vote for President went to Ronald Reagan. I also voted for Bush and Obama. Both twice. McCain might have gotten my vote had he not picked that idiot sarah palin. Once I heard her talk the choice was easy. Damn she's the dumbest grifter ever. Pure trash and an embarrassment to America that she would even be on a Presidential ticket.
The reality in Portland is not trumps alternate reality. If you happen to be at the protesters gathering site between 11:00 pm and 4:00 am you might see a small fire in the street or a dumpster set ablaze. Other than that Portland is not burning to the ground. There are not mobs of protesters roaming the streets 24/7. As for the killing the other night, both parties were there looking for a fight. Unfortunately one guy came with bear spray and the other a gun. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what the outcome of that altercation was going to be. The deceased drew and sprayed his bear spray first. The assailant drew his gun and fired. Two middle aged white guys filled with hate, looking for a fight, and one died. It's tragic and sad. I wish the guy didn't lose his life. I might not have liked him if I met him but I wish he hadn't lost his life over nothing. Which is what happened. And, I want the killer in jail, tried, convicted, and sent to prison. He's no hero. He's an avowed Antifa that's made comments about supporting his brothers meaning black people. Well Black people don't want his kind of support. He's a murderer nothing more.
