A little early to analyze the fallout out from these protests.
But I am just curious where people are at.
My opinion is that this is going to play right into Trumps hand.
I don't like it and think that it is terrible, but our entire history as Americans and western hegemony (colonialism, capitalism, tribalism) supports that hypothesis.
Bump
Seemed plain as day to me that it would go down like this after the riots in Minneapolis . Didn't know Portland would be the epicenter though. Knew it would be a "progressive" city though.
Very dangerous to be a visible Trump supporter.

I went on a drive today through portland downtown/outskirts.
Nothing going on.
And there is your on the ground/beat reporting from your local source.
Just my personal feelings, not that I would, but I would definitely not want to be seen with a Trump sticker/placard on my truck.
I would feel very uncomfortable driving by certain groups of people on the street, likely to have shit (rocks/bottles/etc) thrown at your car. People slamming the hood of my truck randomly. Seen it myself.
Just saying. That is a problem.

City of Portland's looking like one of Trumps biggest endorsers. It's the Dems election to lose. and they will.
