I think they got the tenets of fascism backwards here https://twitter.com/ByMikeBaker/status/1286152961106694145
(This is the elected mayor of Portland by the way)
The fascism word being thrown around in every direction including the mayor of Portland who is apparently the most pushover mayor in the history of mayors, it's stolen valor. This was something that sent people to concentration camps, put 10s of millions of people in the ground..
If you're upset that you tried to destroy a federal courthouse or assault an officer and they shot a can of tear gas at you, well that's what happens in a riot, it's not fascism, they didn't shoot you with actual bullets, or carpet bomb your town. Come on.
LARPing is fun but never forget you're LARPing.
Why did Ted Wheeler think he would be greeted as a hero at this thing anyway? These folks just spent 50 days harassing his police, trying to destroy buildings in his city. Just because he denounced some DHS guys? lol
Portland is one of the safest places in America. There are places where children are being shot dead regularly. Such theater. https://twitter.com/NickKristof/status/1286178670021734400
It's fascism because someone got arrested for two hours and let go when police realized they got the wrong suspect? Walk down to your local prison and see how many people are behind bars for months or years for petty crimes. The whole Portland situation is tons of stolen valor.
