Its funny, because there’s a world where liberals are embracing tactics like this to resist the psychotic state violence along the US/Mexico border, to protest the police brutality endemic to big cities, and to reject the soulless economic policies intended to drive up unemployment in order to contain inflation.
The idea of a strikes and pickets to protest shit economic conditions isn’t something Trump invented. But for some reason (full coast-to-coast control of radio mass media by a handful of dead-eyed Trump-loving fascist billionaires) its the conservatives who have the social coordination and conviction to manage popular actions like this, while the liberals just kinda kick their heels and complain.
It was an amazing grift and did a not inappreciable amount of economic damage.
And, in the aftermath, liberals were sent running from the various quarantine and vaccine mandates they’d been pushing for the last two years. That, in turn, gave us a new wave of infections. Easy to forget we were looking at around 2000 deaths a week by the end of 2021 in no small part to the public revolt that the convoys embodied.
That video was posted a year ago but the convoy to the border was like 3 weeks ago. I didn’t bother watching further to see what that video is actually about since that’s clearly unrelated.
Multiple participants from The People’s Convoy joined the Take Our Border Back convoy, it was a bit of a mini-reunion for them. I have been keeping an eye on several since they attempted to copycat the Ottawa occupation. Three livestreamers who participated in both convoys recently were featured in Wired for trying to make money through YouTube by streaming their harassment of migrants all along the border after TOBB concluded. I wouldn’t exactly call them unrelated since there was a lot of overlap between the groups, but it was disingenuous to portray the TPC turnout as TOBB since this border convoy was much smaller.
Yes, liberals are doing it for all the great reasons you mentioned. Trump is trying to do it because he’s a huge sore loser crybaby. See the difference?

They aren’t doing it. There is no mass protest at the border. What protests were do have tend to be outsider groups protesting our own liberal leaders, not insider groups coordinating action against opposition parties.
Beto O’Rourke isn’t leading a march through downtown Austin to protest the governor. Houston Mayor John Whitmire has been openly hostile to BLM and other civil rights movements in his home town.

Yeah that recent trucker convoy to the border really was super successful.

Say what now? The convoy had like 100 passenger vehicles and no trucks and you think it accomplished what?
The Peoples Convoy
I’m seeing a lot more than passenger vehicles.

They’ve been doing these convoys since 2021.
