After Portland had become boring and moved off of being “cool”, and then moved into and then out of a pretty rough patch, the President has made Portland cool again.  He is at war with us — seemingly the one white city in a list of other cities with large black populations he is at war with.  Funny thing now — simply existing in a physical space has become a revolutionary act.  Hard to figure what to do with that.

And The problem with nodding at “rough spot” is it would give at least some credence of justification that if a situation were that — then answer: national guard, military. And welcome to a two front propaganda war. Like, there is more warrant for civil disobediance at the ice facilities now than six years ago — but what we are down to is just public opinion supported dozen or so keeping the vigil demonstrators shouting slogans at the feds there.

I am reminded of a sickening sensation of having to play that game in trying to put myself in parts of the electorate’s imagination on Kamala city centric “we’re detroit!” ” we’re philly! ” ads.  Yeah, as meth and then fety sweep through rural America, they seem to have a different idea on it there versus it here (and Detroit and Philly). 

Another thing is gritting my teeth at a distinctly “America Fuck Yeah!” undertones on some commercial I see in a baseball game – – trying to place it against, oh, post 9/11 into War on Terror “Madison avenue takes the pulse of the public and sells back to us” manner.  Curious this has not quite popped up on what limited ads I have seen in football — at this point broader public for that after all as against the stuck in the ways and holding baseball audience? Or it is probably just one car ad and I missed it in football.
