Have you ever, when trying to make it to work, been suddenly stopped by so-called “peaceful protesters”? Have you ever tried to walk down the street without being swarmed by an angry mob calling you a racist and white supremacist? This happens in Portland, where violent protests by antifa are ignored by the mayor and constant inconveniences are placed on the people trying to live their lives by being forced to take detours away from violent protesters simply because of the city government’s incompetence.
You may ask, “How is this a problem if it is a peaceful protest?,” but if you take a look at some of the dialogue recorded in videos, you will see it is far from peaceful. An example of this “peaceful protesting” from antifa: “Just go that way,” a female protester told a driver who had rolled down his window to talk. When he purportedly asked why, she responded, “Because I told you to.”
It is clearly time for a change in Portland government. New officials, who can represent us with competence and not stupidity, are needed.
