Never listened to that podcast before. Any idea which episode that was?

No, sorry. It’s been a year or three since I heard it, and I don’t remember if it was one of the It Could Happen Here episodes or a regular BtB one. You might have better luck than me searching for it. He primarily focused on the Portland protests.

Shit, you just reminded me of it could happen here. lol.

I started listening to it a while after the 2020 protests, while living in Portland, and was super surprised realizing that it was from like a year or two before.

Man, that one was scary. By then we had those big fires where crazy fucks and their pig friends were blocking roads and stopping people to ask where they were going because they'd been told that antifa was starting the fires. That's when I realized it would legit be impossible to try and escape back to CA in an emergency.

I said this recently, I'll say it again here. I'll never forget how Americans turned on protestors in Portland. This is America
