Dumbest Protest Ever: Leftists Force Thousands of Cars To Idle In Washington, DC

Happy Monday, folks. What better way to get the American people on your side than by causing their morning work commute to become an even bigger headache by forcing thousands of drivers to sit in stand still traffic. In an attempt to convince climate skeptics that climate change (formally known as global warming until a few predictions by Al Gore didn't pan out) is real, hundreds of leftist protesters are currently demonstrating in the streets of Washington, D.C. by hurling confetti, blocking traffic, and warning about carbon emissions...while at the same time causing motor vehicles to just sit there emitting carbon dioxide. Their ultimate goal is to "Shut Down D.C." until the government enacts climate change legislation.

A coalition of environmental whackos demanding "climate justice" Monday morning filled the streets of our nation's capital causing gridlock. Here's some of the action on Twitter.

Will they leave as much trash as their pals did in Manhattan the other day? Keeping someone working will be their reasoning. Did they, or will they buy carbon credits to offset all the extra pollution emitted by those idling vehicles?

I thought Leftists were against shutting down the government. Guess not.

In observance, I will be making some quite unnecessary runs in my Ford F-150 (5.0 liter, V8) as well as taking some laps around my 17 acres with my John Deere Gator 825i. And to top it all off, I will spend some time on my John Deere Z535M Zero Turn mower, making some tall grass a bit shorter.

I hope there were plenty of liberals in those cars. Pity antifa wasn't there to rush into Congress and create an uproar.

More liberals need to see what liberalism is getting them. And they need to see it's going to get worse. Much worse.

Let’s hope the American public show their appreciation for this kind of idiotic mayhem by voting Republican.

Seriously, I thought stopping traffic was a criminal offense? How many people were put at risk because of these idiots? An EMT vehicle with a patient or a police officer responding to a call?

They’re generating votes for Trump—just as protesters in the 1960’s engaging in similar antics generated votes for Nixon.

The grass thanks them for the CO2.

What kind of environmentalist wants to suffocate plants?

woulda been funny if the people counter protested by lighting their spare tires on fire- a big thick cloud chokes out the climate protestors - just desserts

One more reason to shut down most federal agency offices in DC and scatter them throughout flyover country.

The majority of the far left wing Democrat federal employees will quit rather than move and they can then be replaced (if their jobs are actually necessary) with hard working conservatives in America’s heartland.

Actually they do. They want you[and me] dead. Why, they do not know. But that is what they want and they will not stop until they get it. Or are themselves killed.

I was stopped at a highway traffic light in the middle of that climate demonstration the other day.
All the kids with their teachers and signs were chanting etc.
Nobody in the traffic was paying them any attention.

When the light turned green a black Camaro, first in line at the light gave them the finger and did a righteous burnout! I loved it !
