My relatives from California and Texas were calling in a panic, especially when Trump's rent-a-feds were in town acting like al Qaeda was parachuting on top of the federal building. Every since then it seems that white-wing media has fed their loyalists a steady diet of "Death and Mayhem on the Streets of Portland, Coming Soon to Your Town" unless they re-elect the fascist in the White House.
