Now that I’ve gone to the portland protests and want to give my honest analysis:

So called right media are lying to you about these events being unappealing.

I was there, i can tell you it was one of the most exhilarating events of my life...

[thread]

...with covid19, everything is being shut down. With summer here, people have few choices: hang out in nature, hang out with friends, or go to a protest and vent anger at the system.

As the nights become colder, hanging out and protesting will be one of the...

...few activities people are going to be able to do.

And if these protests have the same festive atmosphere as I just experienced, then it will be THE THING to do come September and October...

...reading right wing controlled media would make you think that these events are filled with degenerates. This wasn’t my experience. It was filled with young 20-something, go getter crowd. There is art, music, fireworks and at the end of the night...

...an exhilarating “nerf” battle with federal police who take back control of the riot zone with a blitzkreig, chasing protestors through the city streets, while firing pepper balls and concussion grenades...

The right wing media tells you this is an antifa event... that’s 5% right. Antifa is a minority of the protestors. Most of the people here are people looking to vent anger at the system and be in an invigorating festival atmosphere and feel like they can make a difference...

...i’m actually quite shocked at how different the event was from what i’ve read.

For example, the “revolution ribs” is being derided by the right as being unsanitary and disgusting... what a joke narrative this is. Any leftist reading that those ribs are a bad thing...

...will instantly stop listening to anything you have to say because it’s completely opposite of what the reality of the situation is.

Really conservatives should be going to these events and doing counter intelligence operations...

...for example, stickers like “bill clinton is a rapist” or “hollywood was blackmailed by pedos” or offering free food and getting the word out.

Instead I see the right wing is completely ceding this battle by sitting it out. This is a mistake or...

...it’s the perfect excuse by Trump and the Patriots to get federal police and the national guard troops into the cities as some 4d chess move ahead of the elections.

Whatever is spun, know that these protest events are turning into the cultural highlights of 2020...

...with nothing else to do due to the covid19 plandemic, these protests may increase in size significantly in size over the next 90 days.

For those wishing that Trump would crack down hard - you are reading too much biased reporting. I can assure you...

...cracking down hard is the wrong move. It’s exactly what the deep state wants because the optics are bad and I believe that Trump knows this and this is why he is hanging back and not playing his hand.

The targeted arrests of key antifa operators and organizers is the exact level of engagement that Trump should be doing and given everything I’ve seen now, I understand how delicate the situation is. A wrong move will increase the turnout 10x immediately.
