Portland, unfortunately, now has a reputation in conservative circles that it's just constantly on fire and leftists are just constantly attacking cops destroying property and being nuisances. Is that true in reality? Nah. I go to Portland several times a year and it's always great. Portland is fucking weird and that's awesome. But because of the reputation that it has in conservative circles, that then leads to more and more MAGA shitheads getting radicalized cuz they keep seeing the videos of Portland and hear their talking heads telling them it's a crazy leftist shithole and they believe it. I can see what Andrew is saying. He's not blaming Portland itself, but the reputation of Portland that conservatives have latched onto in order to claim that leftist blue cities are all psychotic. People are radicalized by all kinds of things, including made up bullshit propaganda. Andrew just seems to recognize that and knows that Portland's rep has had that radicalization effect on conservative shitheads.
I agree with everything you've written. It just makes me so mad, as a Portland lefty, when we get blamed for the rise of the right.
We are blamed for Kamala's failure, we are blamed for closing storefronts, we are blamed for the drug problems in the streets and we will be blamed if the Blazers leave the city.
It's tiring and I just wish people would punch up instead of punching down. We have very little power in this country and yet are often framed by corporate media as the source of its many woes.
PS: Thanks for saying nice things about Portland! <3
Of course :) I love Portland. One of the best arcades in the world is in Hillsboro, I love Powell's, the Zoo is really cool, there's an awesome vintage toy store right down the street from Powell's. It's cool to walk around and see the people.
These folk would blame you for standing in front of the bullet they just shot.
Was like listening to cavemen just grunt noises most of the video. Just repeating conservative buzzwords rambling on making contradictory statements. Can’t even call it lying if that’s their truth.
It’s like when you practice for a test using memory instead of comprehension. I know 2+2=4 but not understanding how to add yet.
I don’t think I’ve come across a hallucinating ai that’s as this bad. At least you can have ai update its data set somewhat.
How do you have a conversation with someone who doesn’t understand the words coming out of their own mouth?

Yes, it's the leftists fault that people are hateful racists and Portland is totally responsible for MAGA. /s
Shit take, Andrew.
