A bunch of people who were told by Fox News and conservative media that they were patriots is lashing out with violence when they get out into the real world and find out what people really think of them.
The truckers are a joke. They are driving in circles and peeing themselves. These people arent patriots. They are man-babies who are still upset that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.
Many older white male Trump supporters tied their masculinity and power to supporting Trump. When the former twice impeached president was rejected by the voters, they felt rejected and enraged.
Republicans and conservative media hoped that they could replicate the chaos that truckers caused in Ottawa in the United States, but the opposite has happened. The truckers have struggled to get into DC and have been largely ignored even by conservative media, which lost interest once it became clear that the truckers were not about to cause chaos or inspire a national movement.

Flipping a bird to someone to let them know how little you think of them is not grounds for assault.
