      Something very manufactured about this thing. Like someone picked Portland off a spreadsheet.

          Ever watch “Portlandia?” This was inevitable, actually.

          it’s the most mockable city on the west coast and also obviously super left, perfect for shoving against the wall first

          well said. I know why, won't write it but it plays into a narrative.

          Far left city with far left rep, but with a far right police force that pals around with Proud Boys. The cops won’t stop it, and normies will nod and go “well sure, Portland.” Perfect place for a Gestapo-lite pilot program.

          It’s an odd choice, given how racially homogenous it is. Perhaps then the best choice. Test, release, iterate without threat of large mob.

          Picked off 4chan perhaps. It's a city that is seen as a liberal poster child. It's where you would go if you wanted to be seen as taking the fight to your enemy.
