The Portland riots are continuations of the old ones. Mostly white anarchists.
I suspect the same with Seattle.
These are due to local government being tolerant of nonsense for over half a decade.
This would be just as much the case if Trump, Jorgensen, or Hawkins had won

@mathlover
I agree.

The reason for my posts like this : I was informed that the sitting president was responsible for all protests and riots. No good moving the goal posts now.

I don't know the ethnicity or philosophy of the majority protesting, I doubt they're philosophers with well thought out views.

But primarily, I think people should be consistent. Everyone who looked at the protests and said even though they're people who don't like or side with Trump, he's president so this is "Trump's America" should now say the same about Biden.

But we're an illogical and inconsistent people.

I think the factors of more importance are local leadership responding to these types of events and how politicians align, endorse, denounce, or act in response.
