A Lament for Portland

It's not fun to watch someone kill themselves slowly. Chronic drug use, alcoholism, anorexia, etc. is ugly and unfortunately rampant in our society. It's not fun to watch an entire city kill itself either, but as this requiem by Patrice Lewis laments, Portland is doing just that. 

As a resident of Oregon, it used to be fun to go to Portland for a play, a pro basketball game, a dinner. No more. Lewis points out that on the night after President Trump's 2016 election, rioters trashed the Pearl District where maybe 1% of the voters voted for him. The idiocy has continued and worsened. The city is eating itself and the rest of us can only stand by and watch. 

Looking across the country we see other major cities like Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago all going down the same garbage chute. "Progressivism" is such a misnomer. It is a giant step backwards in barbarism. It is nothing but a plague of locusts.
