    Portland just recently broke the top 50 list of the safest cities in the US.

    And of course it is a blue state and Portland is known to be extremely liberal.

    Fuck you and fuck off fascists

      There are a huge number of country bumpkins that saw Portland on the TV during 2020 and assumed/were mislead into believing the whole city burned down and it’s just a smoldering wasteland now. The actual problems were in a relatively small area downtown; most of Portland was unaffected.

        I work with people in the software engineering field that have mentioned wanting to visit Portland but ask me if it’s safe.

          I won’t lie, the city has had problems but people’s online rants about it are always overblown and always from people who don’t live or visit there.

        The very best thing Portland can do is leave them be. Let them stand around aimlessly. Taking the bait and engaging with them will only provide the Fox News crowd with validation. It will further trump’s goal of drawing the us into civil war so he can truly become king.

            The viewers capable of critical thought (admittedly the probability is low) will hopefully see through it. They’re not getting their Pearl Harbor moment in Portland.

        How old was Hitler when that happened?

        Edit: Looks like he was 56 and trump is 79. You’re probably right, the hamberders will get him first.

    When can we start to enact economic sanctions against the US, any smaller state and there would have been repercussions for either the leadership or the country in general.

      I think the better solution is to remove those agents from the state. I’d prefer it be from existence, but will settle for geographical relocation.

      I know it’s a joke, but some of them think they’re doing exactly that. The propaganda machine has them convinced that they’re the real Americans and everybody left of them (which is basically everybody but other MAGA) are anti-American, Antifa, terrorist, communists.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
