One thing to learn from Canada is to take your money out of the bank beforehand.
I heard someone suggest………
What if the truckers maybe didn’t go into DC, but just surrounded it, blocking off the roads into DC, leaving narrow openings so that individual cars and emergency vehicles could get through but truck deliveries would be difficult. They could watch for any trucks displaying Nazi, confederate, etc flags and tear them down, force them out…. Make a big show of “we don’t like them, they are not us”.
They would be able to make a visible and powerful peaceful statement, show DC what it would be like to get no deliveries into town for a month…. More like setting an example or lesson, exercising their free speech rights, rather than making an ultimatum. And afterwards, leaving peacefully all together yet leaving the message of, “ don’t tread on us”.
Like the historical Boston Tea Party, the patriots didn’t stay after making their statement (tossing the tea) then stand in place with an ultimatum. They made their point and then left, leaving the rulers to think about the ramifications.
Something all patriots should consider IMO. TPTB showed their hand in Canada.
