Have you ever been to Portland or do you just believe Trump? There were few (not many) Trump flags in Portland during the election and I don’t recall a single person being hurt for it.

> The guy you’re replying to is not worth your time. His comment history shows that he speaks in the kind of short, reductionist tropes that evidence the fact that his prefrontal cortex has been melted by exposure to propaganda. People like this are scared of the world around them and operate on fear, which is followed by hate as a defense mechanism. I admire you for engaging, but you can’t change these unfortunate people. Just be glad you aren’t one.

Your entire comment is inappropriate for HN. People have different experiences from you. What they have seen or experienced may not be captured in “citations”. You can choose to not believe it. But when you dismiss it as propaganda, you are not being curious. And when you engage in an insulting personal attack, you’re violating the guidelines.
