Mayor Ted: "ok, Antifa, it's been - checks notes- eight months. No more Mr. Beta Guy. "
Please ask George Truitt why this is happening when "Trump troops" have been gone for 6 months.
A better question would be, why is he still mayor after 6 months of rioting in his city? (he was re-elected)
Probably largely because he could (plausibly) pass the blame Trump for instigating/inflaming/failing to quell them to avoid any accountability himself.
Let his political fortunes live or die on the basis of his own ability or inability to handle the issues of his city.
It's ok to say let's just let democracy work. It takes patience and a willingness to accept that not everything will be perfect right away. But issues like these will resolve themselves at a much smaller cost and you don't risk making things much, much worse.
Also,
just Portland burning is vastly preferable than having 20 or so major cities burning at the same time, so it's hard to say there hasn't been a significant improvement. Let's give some credit and be thankful for that progress at least.
