(31,261 posts)I dont view those people as Democratic, they hi-jacked the legitimate BLM protests there and created all types of street violence.
But they tied them to us. I don't know what we could have done about it, but I don't think the other protests did that. They made it seem like every city was going to have cop-free zones and occupied streets with Democrats won.

(15,392 posts)I am honestly HOPING that some of them commit some property damage just so I can turn around all the bullshit conservative relatives gave me about Portland protesters because property damage - not a cop killing a guy - is what got them upset. There was that incident a week or two ago about some PBs tearing down a BLM banner from a church, but that won't count for them because it's not a federal building... and it was a Black church.
