Why don't you watch the numerous videos coming out daily from the streets of Portland? Spoiled, violent, faux revolutionaries causing wanton destruction in no way provoked by the fine, overworked Portland PD.
This doesn't relate at *all* to what I said. Firstly, I said most, not all. Second, when I say 'instigate', I'm referring to June when the protests started, or to points where protesting went up dramatically.
That said, I would probably disagree with what's going on in Portland right now.
I also disagree with the narrative that BLM, on the whole, is a violent movement. They're factually not (of course, violent is subjective, but I would at least define it as over 10%).
Furthermore, the narrative that Biden's poll numbers are hurt by "law and order" talk isn't true either. Biden doesn't support rioting. Trump has made the riots, specifically in Portland, much worse through his unilateral action. Voters trust Biden more on issues like uniting the country and on racial justice. If your argument was true, why did Biden get a boost in polling in early June? Why did he gain in Wisconsin after Kenosha?
