Imagine the difference the No Kings protesters could have made today in Portland if they focused on our local problems? Over 10,000 protesters who instead of spending their day, dressed up in costumes, spent their day cleaning our streets, cleaning, graffiti, helping the homeless, spent money at a small... business struggling. Etc. In one day, we would see a remarkable difference.show more

But Kevin, then they couldn't virtue signal on TikTok how "brave" they are. Also, Soros paid them to "protest" not help the ones in need. Sad really 😢

Not a single one of them thought to pick up some trash on that long walk. Could have been the cleanest city in under 4 hours. Organizations need to change

Whoa whoa whoa, you mean *actual* community service instead of fake community service - protesting something that isn’t happening??? Gasp! How will they ever bring communism to the usa with that attitude?! “We want no kings, just a communist dictator, which is effectively a king!” (Yes, the first part was sarcasm)

Serious question: WHY ARE LITERALLY ALL OF YOU DISGUSTING FELONS?

How many of those things did you do today? Looks like you were just on social media posting rubbish and making zero difference.

Imagine the good you could have done had you not stole money from the homeless charity you worked for

imagine the 14million people who are going to die because the king unilaterally decided to defund USAID

They don't care about any of that, just like the Oregon politicians.

.... teaching kids to read and to do math in an effort to address our real crisis: K-12 illiteracy/innumeracy.

Those protesters were all talk and no action. Typical virtue signaling morons.

when was the last time you are any of the maga did those things? They can gather in large numbers to hear trump talk and do none of those things AND leave behind massive piles of garbage.

Think how the J6 "tourists" could have done something to actually help America instead of causing millions of dollars in damage to the Capitol.

"Imagine the difference the No Kings protesters could have made today" writes the keyboard warrior with no sense of self-awareness! 🤣

What volunteer work did you do today to help your community? Threats to democracy are a huge problem. I think their time was well-spent.

It's unfortunate that society won't mobilize for causes like your suggesting. It's depressing that people focus more on false narratives of kingship and dictatorship than on efforts to improve neighborhoods and society as a whole.

Imagine if you'd done that as a city employee in Gresham instead of stealing and lying about spending the funds on the homeless.

What? Make an actual contribution?

What's stopping MAGA from doing that?

What if the Trump administration spent the money they have on military parades, Trumps golf trips, or tax cuts for people that don't need them on cleaning up the streets, helping the homeless, etc What a difference that would make. Take your straw man argument and GTF outta here.

Do they blame trump for all of their problems? How can they not see it’s their liberal policies that have destroyed Portland and so many lives.

They definitely went and spent money at small businesses today.

I disagree. Picking up trash, cleaning up grafitti, for what ? So the homeless can leave more trash ? Fix the homeless industrial complex and we wont have to keep cleaning up after them.

What do you do besides pick on people

Your virtue signaling is gross.

Fuck off

No Kings protesters pay taxes. Why would they help the homeless.?

What did you do today, Kevin, besides bitch about what other people should do?

Same thing for the proud boys, right? How about the constant trash that gets left behind at MAGA rallies? How about if they spent 30 minutes helping communities. Never going to happen.

That requires actual hard work. Something they won’t do. They would rather take the easy way out, as usual.

That argument could be made about any public gathering (including sporting events) or protest in just about any city. It’s not unique to yesterday’s protesters.

Nothing anyone does on the ground level will make a difference until the people who are a problem at the top are dealt with

Record day for my bar in downtown. Best thing that’s happened to support small business
