    I've noticed a rather odd thing that is happening in our country. When Obama won, the left was happy, jubilant even, dancing in the streets and all. A happiness that continued throughout his presidency. But with Trump it has been quite different. His supporters started off mad, after all, how dare a black man try to make their lives better. Since Trump's won it is as if his supporters have been getting angrier and angrier by the day.

    Lately Portland has been seeing repeated attacks by right-wing activists that have an oversized outrageous amount of hatred for liberals. Where does this come from? The left wins and we are happy. The right wins and they become angrier and more violent. What gives?

    The mood of the people comes from the leader. Obama was a man who spoke respectfully of people whether enemy or foe. Trump spews venom and fires up his camp to 'get that son-of-a-bitch off the field'.

    Yeah. Let’s compare protest and violence numbers between the left and right. That’ll be fun, if not extremely predictable.

    You can't extinguish a fire by dousing it with gasoline. Trump constructed a gas soaked tinder box for his base, gave them a box of matches, then shouted, "Go ahead, do it, do it!"

    Remember all the riots the TEA party did? When they left DC after one of their protests, the city cleaning crews couldn't clean anything cause the protesters cleaned up the city better than when they found it. ANTIFA makes more jobs for people when they knock over trash cans, poop in the street, break windows, burn cars etc.

    Oh, and lets not forget about BLM and OWS that both started under Obama. They were extremely peaceful raping people in the OWS camps, shooting police, and blocking traffic on interstates. Still waiting for any alt-right rally to turn violent without instigation of ANTIFA.

    Right, Trump made the left violent. Yet, all those "racist" TEA partiers who hated Obama never broke out in mass shootings or burning down cities then or now. Maybe its not the leader, but its the people who follow. In mob rule, the people couldn't give to ****s about what the leader is telling them to do, its what the mob wants to do. The left wants to destroy and "fundamentally change America". The right wants to make it great again. One has clear goal and the other is pretty ambiguous.

    You should see the right-wing thuggish gangs that keep coming to Portland. The most hate filled violent bunch you'll ever see outside of a prison. Apparently Jesus wants them to bash some sense into Portlanders.

    This is a comedy troll post isn't it, or you actually trying to claim that it's the right that is angry, bitter, deranged, standing on stages screaming obscenities at the president, tweeting to a national audience Trumps wife should be locked up with pedophiles, harassing any of his staff while in restaurants, throwing liquids on them as they wait in a line, surround their houses shouting in night long vigils, of sitting in their basement and knitting cute little pink pussyhats to wear while dressed up in a vagina constume while dragging up their poor pathetic husband in tow?

    Your concerns that of a few marchers that got a permit from a shithole city that can't even clean the homeless feces off their streets because they claim it is racially insensitive. Have I got that right? If so the name I may use would get me kicked off this forum so I will leave it at that and consider you to be a super troll.

    Wrong they did not not attack the cops. Antifa did.

    The right wingers are peacefully protesting as usual it is the lefties getting violent.

    These are facts so listen and learn. Right wingers and trump supporters were happy when he won. They were not angry. The left wing with it;s insane trump derangement syndrome lost their minds when he won.

    Right wingers did not protest when Obama won. But we saw millions protesting with ***** hats when trump won.

    You are really out of touch with reality.

    I disagree Obama did not speak respectfully of people that he disagreed with just FYI the American people were not his enemy.

    Yeah and what happens when Donald Trump does that is the people that agree with it chuckle and then they left it the idiots that freaked out about it as though he's Hitler himself cuz it's funny. Are you going to vote for him in 2020 just for the lulz

    I live in Portland and lately at a rate of about once a month a right-wing gang keeps coming to Portland for the purpose of causing trouble. With each "rally", as they call them, they seem to be getting angrier, more radical, more prepared for violence. They come from all over the country and their numbers seem to be growing. The harsh and crude insults they level at generic liberals, with the intense emotions and all is actually kind of scary.

    On the last run they came in buses and numbered around 300. The counter protesters numbered well over a thousand.

    At each pass the right-wingers seem to be more radical than before, in part they seem to be bolstered by the fact that the police protect them, allowing them to spin their stories as they do.

    Seems to me that if this keeps up, eventually someone, or a number of people will end up dead.

    I'm sure, way over there in Ohio, you saw everything go down. The police claimed the Rose City AntiFascists threw projectiles at them. Multiple videos show no such projectiles.

    The latest issue of Willamette Week has a spread of right-wing protestors acting violent and trying to look menacing.

    As to your claim of "trump derangement syndrome" you should check out my tread on the subject.

    The police stated Rose City antifa threw projectiles at them because they did throw projectiles.

    Multiple vidoes prove nothing because they simply did not film the antifa thugs throwing anything but multiple witnesses prove it and that is fact.

    A menacing look is not violent.

    I corrected your ignorance based rantings on that thread.

    i've noticed a rather odd thing happening in our country. after eight years of being told by our president how unfair and bigoted the nation is, his rabid followers took the message to heart and began taking matters into their own hands. they rioted, looted and burned at every opportunity. each slight, whether real or imagined, has been met with violence and the petulant hysteria of the mob. given an excuse for their failures, those mobs sought retribution and recompense from the scapegoats they were handed.

    now the pendulum has swung the other way and, looking back, the mob realizes how little they gained from their hero. they have been left behind by that rising tide that lifts all boats and forced to realize that the excuses they were given were nothing more than smoke and mirrors. stripped of their illusions, a reasonable people would rethink their position. they would moderate their expectations, but this is no reasonable mob. instead they double down on their hysteria. they grasp at straws and toss out any excuse to condemn the man who asks nothing more than a modicum of personal responsibility from the people he was elected to guide. misogyny, racism, corruption, treason, guilt by association and anything else they can think of, it's all been tried in a sad attempt to discredit our duly elected president. radical segments of the judiciary have attempted to stall the administration's agenda, establishment lackeys have twisted the legal system to stain the presidency with innuendo and a perversion of the free press markets even the slightest peccadillo to an ignorant public as an impeachable offense. all this because the grand progressive revolution has been shown to be a dead end, another sorry chapter in the mad rush to an impossible utopia.

    Exactly. The Left always tried to manufacture violent Republican rallys but never could. All they could do was get some photos of actors holding signs. The right’s got nothing on the left when it comes to violence which is ironic considering how the MSM loves portraying one side as he “bad guys”.

    the reason leftists never learn from history is because they simply deny it or rewrite it.

    Here's what's even more fun. Assassination numbers between left and right. John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King.

    You mean the guys who showed up to peacefully express their 1A rights? You mean the group that got a legal permit to hold their rallies? The group that the press members go over to because when they get near the Antifa lunatics they get attacked?

    They're not the ones throwing bricks, rocks, smashing property and attacking the police.

    That's the people you support.

    Nice bit of projection there though.

    ImNotOliver has supported Rose City Antifa on numerous occasions on this board specifically for their reputation for being one of the most violent Antifa groups, and then he makes this thread whining about violent right wingers.

    Now that’s progressive!

    What nonsense. "You didn't build that". Great for boosting business.
