Let's cheer on the trucker convoy!!! Don't let it fizzle!!!

Imagine the news!!!

Interviews with truckers blocking roads for freedom from mask and vaccine mandates (many of which are expiring) immediately following interviews with Ukrainians fighting for a truly righteous cause.

So come on, truckers. Bring your signs, indignation and "Let's go Brandon" sound bites. Then we can see your bravery and noble cause. Don't let us forget. You can do it.

It's astroturfed. The "protesters" are lazy thinkers and lazy citizens.

It's all BS. Poor little snowflakes have been eclipsed by real events.

A rebellion looking for a cause. Bored, entitled fools who want to play the victim. They should be ridiculed and shamed for their shallowness and selfishness.

Most places have lifted their Covid restrictions. These idiots are protesting over something that isn't a thing.

Rebels without a real cause as well as too damn late! They couldn't look more foolish, but I'm sure they'll try.

It would be hysterical if the convoy gets stuck in Beltway traffic.

This is an extension of the sore loser hissy fit that migrated to Canada via social media. One Canadian woman was in Canadian Court demanding her First Amendment rights. She had to be told the US Constitution does not apply up there. Yeah, they have their stupid up there too.
