Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Trails “I Am Antifa” Challenger by 11 Points
Portland could become the first ANTIFA city.
Neoliberal Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler is trailing a left-wing election challenger who identifies herself as a member of the ANTIFA movement, according to a new poll from the Portland Business Alliance.
Wheeler is supported by 30% of likely Portland voters, while ANTIFA-affiliated progressive challenger Sarah Iannarone has 41% support. Iannarone had challenged Wheeler, who has since become universally unpopular in the city for his efforts to appease left-wing militants while largely blaming the failures of his administration on President Trump.
Another recent poll indicates that Ted Wheeler has an unfavorability rating of 63% with only 26% of Portlanders approving of his job performance. It is difficult to win reelection to any office with those sorts of underwater approval ratings.

Iannarone has openly identified as a member of ANTIFA. She had previously challenged Wheeler for the mayoralty in Portland’s non-partisan elections in 2016, but the atmosphere of violent leftism in the city appears to have boosted the prospects of the leftist candidate.
To those who say Antifa are violent thugs: I am not a violent thug and I am Antifa.

If Iannarone wins the November election, the Portland Police would stand to be either sharply limited from performing law enforcement duties at ANTIFA riots, or abolished entirely. It’s likely that federal police and US Marshals would have to return to the city in force to prevent the destruction of the Hatfield Federal Courthouse.
Perhaps Mayor Iannarone would push for the wholesale secession of the city of Portland from Oregon and the United States if President Trump secures reelection in November. We could be looking at the first real independent ANTIFA-occupied zone in the United States, if you’re not counting the month-long existence of Seattle’s CHAZ.

Portland ANTIFA Runs Wild as Biden Inaugurated – Attacking Oregon Democratic Party HQ!
Is ANTIFA here to stay?
Portland ANTIFA commemorated Joe Biden’s Inauguration with a mass-scale vandalism and riot operation, even attacking the headquarters of the Oregon Democratic Party in a protest of Biden’s right-wing “fascism.”
The party HQ appeared largely undefended as rioters smashed windows and doors, sprayed graffiti, and caused considerable property damages.

More video of the damage showed the mob’s coordination.

Banners carried by the mob expressed their lust for “revenge.”
ANTIFA militants also appeared in force in the city of Seattle, carrying out a “J20” mob action in a manner roughly akin to what was seen on the day of Donald Trump’s Inauguration in 2017.

An Amazon store in Seattle was later targeted by the mob.

Some “polite” Democrats have begun to hope that the most uncouth of their ANTIFA pets will quietly go away, but from the looks of it in Portland, the riotous and socially maladjusted street crime gang doesn’t intent to go out silently. Feckless Portland Ted Wheeler even seems to have had enough, forcefully calling for buffed criminal penalties to those who carry out ANTIFA violence in a speech earlier this month.
With Trump seemingly out of the picture, it’s possible that neoliberal mayors and local governments will quickly move against the most undesirable elements of their own political coalition. If not, the political violence group could perceive continuing immunity from prosecution as a sign of weakness, enabling them to continue a reign of street terror perhaps unprecedented in modern American political history.
