Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland.

Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming.

No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

In Klamath Falls, Oregon, victory declared over antifa, which never showed up

In Oregon, rumors of an antifa invasion spread quickly, spurring people to take guns to the streets. Instead, they found the town's Black Lives Matter protest.

We are a government ruled by viral video fiat now.

You aren't even allowed to research which viral video has whipped the regime into a mania and how they came to believe it, because the research of the systems themselves is viewed as "censorship."

This how you end up randomly invading Portland.

I remember this story. It’s so wild that instead of admitting that they fell for a lie they came up with a whole new reality that they were never wrong.

Not sure how we keep this going with a major media organization who's main goal is turning 35% of the population into psychopaths.

I think the people of Klamath Falls were flattering themselves. I grew up 60 miles away from there. I can confirm there is nothing there to disrupt or conquer. (There is some incredible recreation nearby, though.)

@kiminsley11

Ditto for Weatherford, #Texas.
They definitely give themselves (and the Confederacy) waaay too much credit— a protest which turned out to be ~75 people was transformed into bus loads of thousands up in thousands of antifa and BLM invaders... 😱😅
