Progressives really are something else. For any given believer, it’s hard to tell if they’re actively trying to destroy society, or if they’re just plain stupid.
Universal health care is a great example. Do they want to crash the system in order to make people more dependent on the federal government, or can they honestly not add? Across all progressives, it’s clearly a mix of both, but for any individual, you never really know.
This brings us to Portland. Portland has been under Democrat control for some time now. Their liberal radicalism has taken over the city and totally upended it.
This is a city where the mayor and police commissioner has openly supported Antifa terrorism. He has forbidden the police from intervening in their activities. Is he supporting this Brown Shirt intimidation of his own citizens, or his he stupid?
Before we go too far down the rabbit hole, let’s focus on the new issue. The city of Portland has decided that every new business that’s built needs to construct “places of rest” for the growing homeless population.
In case you weren’t aware, per capita, the Portland homeless problem is actually worse than San Francisco. Yet, the brilliant progressives seem to think that more homelessness is the best way forward.
Either that or they somehow believe that making businesses create benches is going to solve the problem. You see? It’s hard to pin down which horrible train of thought they’re following.
Evil or stupid, this is their policy, and you’ll see the true measure of its fallout in this video. At the risk of spoilers, it’s not good.
