This would be true if we could be sure the elections were not being stolen. How else do you explain people "voting" for this anarchy over and over again.
And frankly, unless Portland voters change their voting habits and stop electing Democrat officials who value anarchy over order, they deserve no sympathy. You get what you vote for, and that’s never been more true than in this situation. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result. Voters who are fed up are welcome to show they aren’t insane in the next election. Until that happens, good luck to them.
