...do they Really look like trump supporters or republicans guys? Come on. Lol

The TRUMP CULT is alive and well in Portland

antifur

So exactly what are they protesting about? Revenge for what? What’s the point of protesting if you don’t have a clear message to convey?

And yet the Democrats don't condemn BLM/Antifa.

Biden's America.

Federal property. This won’t be shown on tv. Unless antifa puts in Trump hats again

We’re arresting people for that now

Federal property? Is that not insurrection?

Must be those pesky democrats and antifa hooligans up to their false flag antics again.

Bidens America

As a never Trumper and generally left of center minded person I am ok with that if proven true. See that Trumpist... 🚫 whataboutism

its was a peaceful protest

BillEsteem The public and media only supported these people when Trump was in charge. They will no longer be tolerated now that he is not.

It is time for every worker business owner farmer driver to say stop. Block every official in every city and every state. No more fraud.

We move

Throw the key away

Antifa aren't liberals they're extremists with liberal views know the difference that's why MAGA held the Republican party hostage for the past 5 years they didn't want to see the difference these people need to be taken care of

More proof these were always Maga rioters Media always blamed the wrong people - look at Dc Capitol riots Maga still mad

Can’t fix stupid people

The same should be done in all trumps hotels and facilities.

Did they not get the memo that Trump is gone? The Resistance has expired.

I wish they angry asses would get a jib or go to school

It’s just property leave BLM activists alone.
