    8% went out, got a job, learned a tiny bit of responsibility and plan to switch parties soon.

    The other 8% , their parents recognized They were insane at an earlier age and committed them to an asylum, until they are old enough to run as a viable Democrat Left Socialist POTUS candidate.

    Only those who fear responsibility vote for more government interference.

    They're either the losers at the bottom who have nothing, or they think they'll be the ones in charge when it comes time to making decisions.

    I had a pretty good idea. :)

    The question will be if these far left wingers who live at home still, will leave the far left if they move out and get jobs. Or will they fail and end up homeless? It might be one of the reasons they embrace Communism and radical politics. If they can get the gov't to pay for them they can continue to live free..... Federal Gov't will be the new "Mom".

    If you do not consider yourself a FASCIST why worry about ANTIFA????? If you are a FASCIST then you really do have something to worry about!!

    When one can't find conservative American press that supports what one wants to say one should choose foreign conservative press and pretend.

    I beg to differ.

    So does Andy Ng an Asian journalist.

    https://thehill.com/hilltv/rising/4...o-says-antifa-attack-resulted-in-brain-injury

    Antifa labels anyone who disagrees with their hardcore leftist agenda as fascists and uses that to justify committing violence against them.

    In Portland?:roflol:

    Then why are you linking to Another Ancient Article (from Feb. 2017) referring to ANTIFA in Europe?

    Why would you try "make your point" (about Portland) based on an Article That is Over 3 YEARS OLD talking about Europe?:bored:

    About what?

    3 YEAR OLD Articles discussing ANTIFA in Europe?

    Yes. I am surprised.

    What does Europe in Feb. 2017 have to do with the USA in May 2020?

    Reminder, ANTIFA assaults minorities as well as WW2 veterans and old women. This is something Fascists do. They are exactly what they claim to be against.

    Recent news:

    Antifa protests against ending the lockdown in Germany

    https://thepostmillennial.com/germany-antifa-mob-protest-end-of-lockdown

    They prefer lock downs so why not just stay at home with Mom? They actually want more free paychecks?

    This issue lays bare the fact that conservatives and liberals live in alternate universes. (The reason we cannot have rational conversations.).

    The OP creator took a story of a specific group in Berlin Germany. Saying 92% still live with their parents is not really the insult the OP author envisioned. It does not take a lot of research to see that most protestors tend to be young. A lot of high school and college aged people. Age groups that typically live with their parents. Thus the OP can take a group of “students protesting” and turn it into “people who live with their parents protesting”. While factually correct, it is highly deceptive. Especially to those who don’t think about it much.

    It works also, because that has long been one of those memes that get passed around from conservative to conservative, something that Ring wing talking heads push on a somewhat regular basis. That liberals live in their parents basement, play video games, and live off of the public dole. Kind of goes along with the one that says college graduates end up working in coffee shops.

    The OP then takes the meme assisted deceptive story line and conflates it with Portland. Portland has been a favorite target since the elder Bush’s presidency, when he referred to Portland as Little Beirut for protesting against his war on Iraq. But then Portland is a public participatory kind of place. The people tend to be highly politically attuned and publicly vocal.

    After Trump was elected president, a few violent right wing groups began to harass and attack iconic liberal strongholds. The larger attacks were against Berkeley. There was one such group, Patriot Prayer, who hailed from Camas Washington, who made it their mission to make Portland look like a violent dysfunctional place.

    Patriot Prayer describes themselves as Christian Nationalists. Most of their members have criminal records. Their leader, Joey Bishop, had gone to prison for armed robbery. Mostly they held rallies intent on provoking locals to violence. When Patriot Prayer held their first big rally, thousands of Portlanders showed up to counter protest, many of them shouting the slogan, “Hate, not in our town!” But the right wing media only talked about the anti fascists who scuffled with Patriot Prayer.

    It soon became one of those conservative memes, violent left wing antifa violently stopping free speech, or something like that. It got to be a regular occurrence, violent right wing groups, led by Patriot Prayer, and often Including the Poor Boys, and those who wave Confederate and Nazi flags.

    It was after one of the violent right wing members attacked and killed two men on the mass transit train, that things began to change. The police began to pick up counter protestors on minor misdemeanor and violation charges, leading many to accuse the police of right wing bias. Yet the police knew who the real trouble makers were and soon enough members of Patriot Prayer were being arrested and charged with felonies. Soon enough and the violence ended.

    Fact of the matter is, Portland is a rather peaceful place, with a low crime rate, with the murder rate like a tenth of the national average. Yet through a series of deceptive memes there are conservatives on the far side of the country who talk as if they are convinced that Portland is much worse than the place they live. (Note that there are very few trailer parks in the Portland area. There are more homeless in Oklahoma City and Pensacola Florida.
