So - the gist. Portland let lefties get uppity. This started long ago. remember "occupy"? Portland always lets shitbags disrupt the peace.
Ever asked why?
Yeah - because shitbags make property values drop. Shitbags make people leave. When people leave and property values are low - they can be picked up for a song and fuel another round of gentrification.
That's a different discussion.
So - Portland has been letting the lefties and shitbags get so uppity the the right has taken notice and decided to bring the point home to good old PDX. These folks are primarily wanting to make their point in public - just like everyone should be allowed to. The police and the city let the lefties get away with a ton of shit and now the righties are coming to town loaded for bear. They are in the mode of "we are not going to start anything but we sure as fuck are going to finish it"
This is what happens. This is how it goes. You get a bunch of rainbow farting unicorns who are generally just in lala land - fairly peaceful maybe nerd rage in a game of MtG types. They have taken themselves and what they think they stand for too seriously and now they have attracted some real badass types to town.
Well, you deserve it Portland. I love peace, happiness and the pursuit of all that is cool with the rest of you. I like all the portland "weirdness" in all it's glory. But - we are going the wrong direction.
And you know who is to blame - don't you? It's the fucking Californians taking over our culture. Yep - there are so many of them that they act like they speak for PDX now. I am telling you - it's not the old time OR folks causing the shit. It's the fucking Californians.
We have know it for some time. They came into town and are trying to change PDX into San Fran. Time to shut this shit down.
Real Rose City folks could care less about what someone says. Say what you want. Believe in what you want. Doesn't make a fuck of a bit of difference to a Portlander. As long as you are cool and have a good story to share over a beer - whatever. No hate? Give me a break. Portlanders are full of hate. Who the fuck started the "No Hate" shit? Californians, that's who. Know what we hate? Idiots and asshats that's who. We hate shitty music, getting ripped off and network television. No hate? Yeah right. We hate people who are biggots and full of themselves. You think that's just republicans? Nope. That's all you banner waving assholes from the left as well. Just STFU and go chill.
We are losing the city, Portland. Douchebags from both "sides" are taking over. Politics has no place in our city. Politics is for asshats.
