    My family includes truckers & transportation people. All of them are vaxed & none of them would participate in this so-called trucker convoy for many reasons, one being some leaders in movement have espoused fascist ideas. 20% of Canadian truckers are South Asian but absent herehttps://twitter.com/bungarsargon/status/1487927785112936458 …

    Elite liberal media types want Joe Rogan banned for the same reason they call anti-mandate truckers fascists—both speak for millions of working class people who were abandoned when liberals got rich and woke. Rather than confront this, they silence or smear anyone who exposes it.

        She throws out "Elite liberal media types" despite the fact that she's an editor for News Week and lives in a wealthy neighborhood in New York. I doubt there is a single working class person in her entire social circle.

        I’ve been struck by this. An organization claiming to represent working truckers with no Sikhs speaking for this group is, on the face of it, not credible.

        My trucker brother is vaccinated and loves deliveries where they ask for his card before letting him inside.

        They're pretty spot-on in their analysis of modern liberalism but it's highly disingenuous to pretend like the Right "cares about working people" or whatever...
