My Trumpy neighbor has a new set of heroes: those Canadian truckers.

[CTyankee]

I truly cannot keep up with the RW cause de jour but he has pix of the trucks at the border. It is now his Facebook heroes.

Please tell me why the RWingers like that cause so much they're on Facebook with it...

1. Tell him they all have socialized government health care.

[CTyankee]

2. No, he'd say that was the reason FOR their revolt. It kinda fits...

[Hortensis]

5. Fwiw, ACA and Medicare are not socialized, not even a little bit.

They're both privately owned, capitalism-based, for-profit, formally regulated government programs.

VA medical is effectively socialized medicine, though. Close enough.

8. Ummm, OK. But I was talking about Canada.

[Hortensis]

10. Oh, lol, sorry. That's funnier, though the emotion elicited might be jealousy.

Most of the trumpists strongly support progressive government programs for themselves. tRump ran for president promising this guy to replace the Democrats' ACA with RW national healthcare that'd provide much better coverages for much less cost.

Yeah.

3. The cause de jour is pointless... because its a fig leaf.

Ignore what they say - watch what they do. Their goal is the destruction of democracy, no more - no less.

[Hortensis]

6. Umhm. Win at any cost, though they don't know what they'd "win"

or that there'd be costs, much less wonder what they'd be.

11. It's about insurrection and minority rule

With their big trucks they can do damage with a tiny itsy bitsy minority.
US Republicans are promoting it because any damage to the US hurts Biden

4. FREEDUMB!

[Claire Oh Nette]

7. white nationalists display of power.

Terrorists holding those evil liberal cities hostage. A very weird display of toxic masculinity.

9. The neoconvoy of numbskullery
