Portland is a super liberal city in the middle of one of the whitest most racist states in the country. They even frequently elect demsocs to local positions. The chuds hate them for this and also fixate on it as a component of their "antifa invaders" rhetoric. They go there and march around knowing that it has a strong anti-fascist tradition (being a progressive enclave in the Pacific Northwest). They also point to it as a land of lawlessness because of the clashes with police in anti-cop protests and loudly proclaim it is a failure of liberal policy.
And it works. They get to play victim to their base and spineless libs like Mayor Ted Wheeler will keep caving to them to prove they're not taking a side with the "violent antifa who are just as bad"
