> Stop gaslighting. We saw it. Yeah, you saw Fox News. The people living here continue to be amused at the caricature. During the worst of the 'riots' we were all just living our lives as normal, because that all happened in like two blocks right next to the courthouse. And that was as bad as it ever got. Portland is very boring, very safe [0]. And for better or worse, not nearly as weird as it aspires. It has been getting steadily less weird, sadly. [0] From antifa, at least. Rough homeless camps are not an ideal place to hang out if you don't have to

> Stop gaslighting. We saw it. FoxNews recycled video footage of the same dumpster fire every week to give an impression that Portland was burning down in 2020, so a lot of people are skeptical. I’m totally going to trust what someone who was actually in Portland saw over what someone saw on FoxNews or some other right wing media source.

I also saw a video of a police car flipped and torched in Salt Lake City. Yet, I'm not going around claiming the city is a burnt out husk ran by "antifa" or whoever today's Boogeyman Tucker Carlson espouses.
