"DURR I MAEK POLICY DAT TIGHTIE RIGHTIES TELL ME DO BAD TING, BAD TING HAPPEN, SO I MAEK MOAR BAD POLICY, BAD TINGS HAPPEN, NOW MY PEOPLE HURT REEL BAD. I BIG SAD. WHY DESE TINGS HAPPEN DURRRRRR."
I stopped feeling sympathy for leftists a long damn time ago. For over 4 decades now, I have watched the right point out in detail how a proposed lefty's fever dream will go tits up, only to be shouted down and called every name under the Sun. And then the predictions of failure come true, and leftists just sit there and either deny the failure or downplay it. Enjoy the shit you voted for, dumbasses.
It's like having a friend with a personality disorder. They want to do something destructive, you tell them it's a bad idea, they get mad at you and accuse you of being a downer. They do the thing, bad shit happens, they get mad at you for being right. They learn nothing and go do something else destructive.
At a certain point, the only thing you can do is disengage entirely and let them ruin their own lands lives far enough away that you aren't part of the collateral damage.
Except in this example, your "friend" kicks your door in at 3AM after being released from jail for burning their house down, raids your fridge and starts redecorating.
If you go to https://old.reddit.com/r/Portland it's a joke. I literally can only imagine they instantly ban anybody saying anything negative about their shithole. Literally the entire world knows Portland is a dump but every post you find is like a weird "there is no war in Ba Sing Se" cultist pretending everything is great. There isn't a single post, even sorted by Controversial, that is saying anything is wrong.

I feel like this whenever some of our regulars object to acknowledging racial realities.
