"They call Portland a war zone because joy gives them hives. Show them a Pride flag and they start convulsing like someone unplugged their moral life support. They don’t fear violence; they fetishize it. What they fear is happiness, because happy people don’t need saviors or strongmen. They see laughter and call it an uprising. They see dancing and call it decay. They see freedom and reach for tear gas. What they crave isn’t order; it’s obedience. Not peace, but punishment. They want the whole country as joyless, constipated, and spiritually malnourished as they are, sitting in the dark, clutching their guns, baptizing their bitterness, and calling it patriotism.
"Because joy terrifies them. Laughter cannot be licensed. Dancing does not pay taxes. Nudity refuses to wear shame. They shake at the sight of people who have nothing to hide.
"And that is why Portland matters."
