More than half of arrested anti-Trump protesters didn't vote in Oregon
 
http://www.kgw.com/news/local/more-t...vote/351964445

I suspect that - if the media was at all curious about who these folks really are - they'd follow the money back to Dem front / PACs. We learned that this was going on prior to the election courtesy the Project Veritas videos, and it doesn't seem likely that they'd stop now just because the election is over. In fact, for the sake of preserving Obama's legislative legacy, it may be more important now that before the election.

Protesters putting on a good show for the news cameras, quite possibly (probably) organized and paid for by the Dems. So much for Obama's comments about giving the new administration a chance to lead. How nice. :rolleyes:

Project Veritas is where you get your news??? Figures. If you believe that the majority of anti-Trump demonstrators across the country are financed by the DNC and Soros, you are as ill-informed as your Fuhrer.

Fake news from Blightfart and Alex Jones more likely, from the video photoshop guy

Often there is no need to finance demonstrations.

Front organizations manipulate demonstrations.

Whatever Finn. I'm sure it doesn't matter to you that these folks were caught on video, and as a result some of them resigned.

Videos from Project Veritas? Really? Got any links?

On the other hand. Sometimes a demonstration is infiltrated to discredit it. :D

Great point Robbin, see we do agree on fundamental principles. Everyone has a right to organize and protest, even by those who fervently supported Hillary (if they must).

No. But of course when you ask a question like that in this thread, it's painfully obvious that you're missing the point.

I have a feeling that most of those arrested aren't protesters. They are more likely infiltrating law abiding peaceful protests and creating chaos and mayhem. The real protesters have got out of hand a few times, and some of their protesting defies logic to me. Portland is probably one of the most heavily Democrat cities in the nation by percentage, so why they would obstruct traffic and cause issues to their fellow Clinton and Bernie voters is beyond me. Maybe they feel they have to push limits to hit national news. Anyway, the fact that many didn't vote is kind of immaterial in a way. Portland, and the state of Oregon would have easily gone Democrat if none of the protesters voted, multiplied by ten.
