I was asked just now, in response to pinned tweet, "Is it possible the rioting [in Portland] stopped because the majority are heading to DC in preparation for the election?" My response - and a question for readers:
"I think that would be ambitious. And costly. Yes, there's a pretty hefty fund (3 million+) set up to cover costs of bailing people out and on-the-ground support, and I imagine savvy people might be able to tap into that for travel. But it's a long trip, and - forgive me..."
"...I don't see bulk of protesters as super-sophisticated and organized to make it. A few, yes. And w/ schools not open, and people out of work, I imagine you'd have willing volunteers. I don't see the organization to bring/house/support busloads of people to DC for 6 weeks..."
"But I could be wrong!"
And now, the question: Am I wrong? What am I not seeing? I imagine plenty! Your input, I beg you without Soros/Koch conspiracying, welcome
