The MAGA Trucker Convoy Is Mad Ukraine Is Getting All the Attention Right Now
Even the “truckers for freedom” Telegram channel with its 96,000 subscribers can’t decide if it’s more interested in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or their very own convoy puttering across the U.S. of A.
As many of the groups organized as a part of the so-called Trucker Convoys protest (the vast majority of the vehicles taking part are not big rigs) enter the final portion of their long haul, the group aiming to end COVID-19 health measures are disappointed by the lack of eyes on them, particularly after the Canadian version captured the attention of right-wing Americans for weeks on end.
Even the organizing pages are being peppered with conversations about the war, updates on Russian advancements, and brainstorming on how to make this about them. “Wasn't this group originally about the global freedom convoy? How did it get highjacked so easily?” one supporter asked. Others desperately tried to direct people Ukraine-posting toward other chats. A few “truckers” are upset that people think what the Ukrainian people are going through is as bad as being asked to wear a mask or vaccine mandates.
“People now say: Well, those ‘Freedom Truckers’ sure picked a bad week to try and get attention for being victims of tyranny,” wrote one Trucker fan annoyed by the war in Ukraine. “They are starting to twist the events by saying oh our suffering is somehow much less. NO IT IS NOT!”
