Truckers good! Truckers bad! Truckers good! Truckers bad!

Shit, look at the southern border. It took days to go from a hard line stance against illegal immigration under Trump to for all intents and purposes a completely open border. And that happened with I think just 1 or 2 political appointees.

In DHS? I don't see why that matters. Do the political appointee's underlings not have to follow his orders? Or is the appointee just a figurehead that talks?

The appointees usually create broad policy, but the real people running it are the people that have been there for decades and worked their way up. Appointees come and go.

I know it’s tiring to hear conservatives (or let’s just say not leftist / not happy with the current political state) be constantly labeled as domestic terrorists by propaganda. We’re better than that though.

We’ll terrorize them the American democratic way with votes in the mid-terms.

I don't see how parking your vehicle on a road is terrorism though. If these truckers start plowing through innocent people during a Christmas parade or burning down homes and businesses then I'll call them terrorists.

If they start taking over police stations and fire bombing government vehicles then perhaps we can call them insurrectionists.

Left wing rioters did all of this and more and yet were labeled as "mostly peaceful protesters."

Insurrection requires violence. I haven't seen any violence yet on either side, so it wouldn't really qualify.

Is it civil disobedience? Definitely.

You mean in regards to this trucker convoy right? You can't be including the months long left-wing riots of 2020.

I'm talking specifically on the topic of the thread.

I agree with you.

Parking your vehicle on a road and impeding traffic is civil disobedience & illegal though. I’m empathetic with Canada because they have actual strict Covid restrictions and mandates that have curtailed their freedoms. Luckily the SC stopped (for the most part) Biden’s mandate. So in the name of that grievance, it doesn’t make sense to me in the US to resort to civil disobedience.

I don't. Fuck them. They are literally putting people out of work, in Canada and also in the US. I hope all their shit gets impounded and sold off.

It's funny because they are protesting the GOVERNMENT putting people out of work. But suddenly the truckers are the bad guys for wanting the government to stop putting people out of work?

How about the government just stop with the mandates already then the truckers will (presumably) go home.

They are literally causing supply issues that are causing shifts to be shut down... IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COUNTRY. No, fuck them. I couldn't give a fuck less what Canada's laws or mandates are. When their shit tier citizens start fucking with American jobs, they can go fuck themselves.
