The People's Convoy

[Devo]

They don't need to quit delivering to the entire country, just stop delivering to every major city, once the food gets tough to get, it will look like the summer of 2020 again.

City people in general tend to live hand to mouth, especially poor, who are the most triggered to get what they deserve, at any cost.

So, because I don’t like Trump. Got it.

You can’t spell “assume” without “ass”.

Too right, mate.

This "Freedom Convoy" was a well-planned event... And surely
succeeded in painting the Canadian Leaders - mainly Trudeau -
as true Communist Dictators - No better than Russia and China.

Trudeau seems rather determined to DO the vax passports.
And he still hasn't learned any lesson... Too bad.

So the Convoy leaders had a Grand "plan A" --- And now I'd
surely reckon they also have a Great "plan B"...

... We'll see. ..

The vast majority of truckers will still be delivering. The minority that won’t do their job for political reasons will be fired and replaced. Your whole fantasy of “everybody is with us” will be kicked in the balls by reality.

... Hmmm.... Fired and replaced? ... By Whom?
They can't find enough drivers NOW.

Are YOU a truck driver, mate?

That's cool but no one was assuming anything. As I said if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, you can deduce with a fair amount of certainty that it is a duck. Has zero to do with Trump

Nice try but it’s still an assumption because I’m not “on the left”, but I’m not far right either. Independent and have views on both “sides”.

Now, I know we’re in a political climate where anyone who disagrees with any one person’s views is the enemy but that still doesn’t make me “left” or “liberal”.

If you say so - but your posts indicate otherwise

DC National Guard 'Scrambling' To Secure Tow Trucks As Freedom Convoy Descends

The Washington DC National Guard is ratcheting up preparations "for forthcoming Trucker protest" set to begin on Tuesday, as a new group of roughly 1,000 truckers dubbed "The People's Convoy" makes its way to the nation's capital in protest of Covid-19 mandates.

The DC National Guard Land Component Command will be "encamped" starting today - which, according to on source, is synonymous with to "occupy an area."

According to the notice, the National Guard will encamp through Monday, March 7. The notice stated that soldiers were already on standby to support the State of the Union address, which is scheduled for March 1.

A separate notice stated that the encampment could last longer than March 7, and would be in support of the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency and the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). -Breitbart

Fox News' Brad Pergram reported earlier Tuesday that the National Guard is now "scrambling to secure heavy tow trucks to haul away semis which may try to block roads."

Where the Canadian truckers went wrong was not having an exit strategy. If the American convoy doesn't have one, they will equally not be successful. Knowing when to leave, would be the very best planning that could happen. Even in civil rights protest marches, and gatherings, there was always a planned end. If somebody sat at the lunch counter for 3 weeks and bang their cup on the counter I'm pretty sure the cops would be coming then, and that's what happened up in Canada.

So you prefer a leveraged hostage type of negotiation do you? What about the innocent people that live in a city that can't afford increased prices? Should they bear the brunt of so-called truckers doing some patriotic duty driving across the country to make a point? What about hospitals, that might need supplies, should they have to do the same thing? It sounds great to have a big strike and make things inconvenient for a short while, and I do think that sometimes that's required to get noticed. But if you do it more than a short while, more than a week for example, you're literally choosing to hurt innocent people. And that's in the name of making a point. I think not

... Let's NOT get silly here... The "hurting innocent people" claim
surely happens ALL THE TIME.

Look at Pittsburgh, for example.... where "protestours" take to
the streets and BLOCK traffic 'round 5:00 in the evening,
as people drive home from work.

Are the protest people doing their patriotic duty then?
Or do they have the right to protest?

So the next time the BLM rioteers set buildings afire
and do shoppe lootings - should they have their-own
bank accounts FROZEN and be denyed bail??

... Just askin'

"No Matter How Peaceful The American Freedom Convoy Is, Our Corrupt Regime Will Demonize It"

Like the many people who only peacefully protested at the Capitol on Jan. 6, the truckers will be smeared as domestic terrorists by the Biden administration and media.

The fate of the American trucker convoy has already been decided by President Joe Biden and his allies who, despite promises from the Freedom Convoy protesters that they will remain peaceful, are already painting them as domestic threats.

The bulk of American truckers and allies will not officially launch their journey to Washington, D.C., until March 1, but officials in the nation’s capital have already gone to extreme lengths to ensure that the Americans uniting for freedom from the tyranny that has wreaked havoc on the nation for the last two years feel anything but welcomed.

The American Freedom Convoy has pledged to keep their protests peaceful and deter bad actors, but their promises have fallen on deaf ears. No matter how peaceful the protesters are, they will be smeared by the increasingly corrupt government for being a “threat.” Already, government officials in D.C. are ramping up security and bracing for far more than what is expected from the group of truckers.

The United States Capitol Police announced last week that it is “closely coordinating with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies” and is even discussing adding a fence around the Capitol. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin also ordered at least 700 National Guard troops to the capital city ahead of the convoy’s expected arrival.

Replace them with whom? There’s a trucker shortage as it is. And how exactly does an owner-operator get fired? They’re like 10% of all truckers, do you realize what happens to supply chains if 10% of truckers stand down? Fucking chaos.
