United States America's 'Peoples Convoy'

Speaking of Russia can't wait to see how they are reaponsible for the Convoy and to hear Biden go full G. W. Bush and claim "with us or with the terrorists! I mean Russians!"

I've got to say, it's devastatingly ironic when entirely (as opposed to 'mostly') peaceful protesters in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave can't even get near the seats-of-power of the government they're protesting because 1) said government won't allow them to, and 2) they're worried (and completely justifiably so) that said government will entrap them, throw them in prison indefinitely on suspicion of launching a coup, and expend an inordinate amount of pressure trying to portray them as irredeemably evil maniacs to turn their kin & nation against them even if they had somehow managed to get close to the Capitol and/or White House.

Now I'm sure that's fertile ground for satire to most, but I can't say I have the heart to poke fun at a situation this messed up - I just find it legitimately deeply saddening to see that this is happening at all in a country whose flag has been a beacon of liberty & resistance to oppression in many other countries throughout history. I mean damn, at least the Freedom Convoy where I live managed to get onto Parliament Hill & make themselves heard for a couple of weeks before being dispersed by martial law and police brutality, and the government of Canada wasn't in lockstep behind Castro's bastard invoking it (hence why he had to cancel it right before the Senate could vote it down).

Funny, given last I checked the truck convoy made it clear they didn't intend to actually enter the downtown, because they believed that another false flag ala January 6th would be created.

Sure, but the rest of the West doesn't quite have the same reputation America does as a bastion of freedom, and it's an even greater tragedy to see that source of inspiration declining this way (whereas it's less of a surprise up here in Canada for example, since stuff like freedom of speech has been widely understood for much longer to be so conditional as to not really be a thing). There's a reason the protesting Hong Kongers waved the Stars and Stripes around rather than, let's say, the German or French tricolors or us Canadians' Fucking Leaf™.
