Antifa ruining Portland?

 Red States:

“Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.” That’s the theme of a new video out of Portland that shows the city’s residents complaining about the state of things.

Journalist Andy Ngo, who chronicles Antifa aggression across the country (but got his start in Portland), released the clip showcasing a series of people whining about homeless encampments in the city. Worse, anytime contractors try to clean up and sanitize the areas in question, Antifa attack them with no reprisal from Portland officials.

There are two ways to respond to this as someone from the outside looking in. I could recognize that these people are in a tough position, having no real way to enact immediate change as their neighborhoods are destroyed by homeless encampments that bring with them rampant crime and even sickness. Conversely, I could note that Portland is one of the bluest, far-left cities in America and that its residents, including likely everyone in that video, continually vote for Democrats who do nothing but make the situation worse.

Take a guess at what response I’m going with.

In 2020, Portland’s mayoral contest came down to a radical Democrat named Ted Wheeler and an open communist named Sarah Iannarone. Those two candidates gained 86 percent of the vote, with the communist only losing by less than six percent (40.76 percent of the total vote).

 It is hard to feel sorry for a bunch of leftists who voted for people who allowed the destruction of civilization in their community.  Voting for Democrats has become a huge mistake.  They are destroying communities where they dominate the vote.  I would not live in Portland.
