What about that Federal government lifts all COVID restrictions, mask and vaccine mandates? England, Sweden, and Denmark already did that.

That will kneecap this convoy before they can even start.

Again, this is all about politics. Some people are sick of these restrictions and they want to vent their frustration. Facebook is making mistake of not allowing pages like this. I do not think these people are nuts or QAnon. They are just frustrated.

Just look at a comparison of covid hospitalizations and deaths between the US and those countries. Adjusted for population, they're super high in the US. Once those go dow, the covid restrictions will go away. If they were as high as in the US in England, Sweden or Denmark, they wouldn't have lifted the restrictions. It's so simple.

I understand and with this issue, I would side with truckers.

But nothing is ever all about politics.

Hybrid warfare exploits legitimate fault lines.

So to defend against the weaponization of these protests, what do you do? I’m this case, capitulating to the demands may work. But next time? How do you protect against trolls trying to start fights and cause real issues?
