Yes, because protesting the mayor is exactly like a city overthrown and overtaken by violence and succuming t
to gang rule.
I suppose if one wants to make a mountain of a molehill and eat up RW media and Trumps vocal puke.
Im not blowing real events out of proportion. Gotham was a city where violence and crime was rampant and gangs ruled. Porterville has a few pissed off rioters. Your portrayal of it as Gotham simply doesn't reflect reality.
Just violate the Constitution as Trump has no problem doing and act the same way the Chinese are acting in Hong Kong.
Thats such a wide grasp and not a reflection of Portland. The elites have basically always viewed themselves as better. They claimed to be the incarnations of god, amd become selected and chosen by god, they've claimed to have better blood, they claim they are necessarily smarter and working harder, it's nothing new but instead heavily recycled bourgeoisie rubbish.
So does hulu, Netflix, HBO Max and probably others (Ive not used even half of the available ones).
Yes. Actual events...

Portland suffers serious street violence as far right return 'prepared to fight'
Armed rightwingers have attacked leftwing protesters and reporters, supplanting the nightly standoffs with police
Far-right protesters armed with paintball guns and firearms argue with a Black Lives Matter speaker during a rally in Gresham, a suburb of Portland, Oregon, on Wednesday....
At least Hitler's Brown Shirts wore brown shirts.But in the past week the city has fallen back into a pattern of more politically polarized street violence which has marked the city throughout the Trump era, with broadly leftwing and anti-fascist activists sometimes facing off against far-right groups.
Last weekend a rightwing “Say no to Marxism in America” rally saw serious, widespread violence. Much of it came from rally attendees – who included members of far-right groups like the Proud Boys – and was directed not only at leftist counter-protesters, but also reporters.
One rightwing protester drew a firearm on opposing protesters. Earlier, he had fired a paintball gun into the crowd, and a local journalist was caught in the crossfire. Others appeared to be armed with firearms and knives. Some carried wooden shields with nails driven through them.
One pro-Trump protester took to a snack van with a baseball bat. Others joined in and destroyed the vehicle.
Near the peak of Saturday’s violence, a reporter’s hand was broken by a rightwing protester with a baton, and video of the incident went viral on social media. That reporter, Robert Evans, has been covering the protests since they began, for Bellingcat and other outlets.
That assailant was identified by Bellingcat on Tuesday as Travis Taylor, a Portland-based Proud Boy who has been previously observed attending violent street demonstrations in the city.
In a telephone conversation, Evans told the Guardian that the rightwing demonstrators “absolutely came prepared to fight”, were “very aggressive from the jump” and were equipped with “knives, guns, paintball guns with frozen pellets, batons”.
It was the worst violence of its kind in the city since an infamous afternoon in 2018, also involving Proud Boys, who came from all over the country to attend a rally that culminated in another vicious street brawl.
Have we heard Trump denounce his shadow army of agitators? Nope.https://www.historyhit.com/hitlers-bullyboys-the-role-of-the-sa-in-nazi-germany/
The SA was instrumental in the Nazi’s rise to power and played a diminished role during the Second World War. The Brownshirts are infamous for their operation outside of the law and their violent intimidation of Germany’s leftists and Jewish population.
