It’s a resistance not an insurrection. What they did to Trump for 4 years was an insurrection.

Labels precede the crackdown.

Untermensch comes to mind.

Strangely, no terrorized or threatened residents could be found for comment.

Of course not. That is because the residents had been marched outside of town by the truckers and shot in pits. And now the truckers are getting ready to roast the children of the city alive in huge bonfires. And cut out the hearts of the pets in the city. This trucker rebellion must be stopped! For the sake of the children, of course.

Yes, for the children. Freedom to protest is child abuse!

Ms Dean called out Donald Trump as she said Donald Trump donated money to the truckers. I wonder is she gets her talking points from Nancy... 🤓

So anytime anybody protests, it’s an insurrection now.

Of course not! That's ridiculous. Its only insurrection if the Left doesn't approve of the protests. If the Left approves then the protests are "mostly peaceful" even if they result in dozens of deaths and over $2 billion in damages.

That is just it. They thought we’d go quietly.

Are they “spooked” you bet they are. Was DC spooked after Jan. 6th?

The language reversal is amazing to watch as compared to the atrocities that happened in 2020.

The working class society of the free world are loath to go along with the Great Reset. It is a psychology they do not yet know how to manipulate/control. And yet this segment are not anarchists, they are Rights, Freedom, and reasonable Rule of Law.

Is what Canada seeing an ‘insurrection?’ Not by a long stretch, it is a protest and rebellion against the overreach of government around a single facet of unjust mandates. This does not cause an ‘insurrection.’

This is a demand for the government to stop acting ignorantly, to stop abusing the science to control people who are more than capable of understanding the science for themselves.

“..The “Freedom Convoy” is a “nationwide insurrection,”

Hungary 1956!
Czechoslovakia in 1968!
Chile 1973!
Romania 1989! https://gwangjunewsgic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Romanian-Revolution-in-pictures-1989-18.jpg

Now THOSE were insurrections! Some failed some worked.

Jan 6, and the protests today in Canada nothing compared to those above! NO blood in the streets, no politicians hanging head down like Mussolini.

Note to chair of Ottawa’s police board: Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Thomas Jefferson stated it well: Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed

It’s true. If people won’t listen to the government, then they have no power.

People only have power over us inasmuch as we let them to a great degree.

Now granted I realize that when someone comes along and physically forces themselves on you, they do have power over you, but many times, compliance is what gives them power over us.

When a government walks over its citizens long enough, the citizens revolt using force of arms. Any government that continuously fails to support its people will eventually cause such a revolution. Our Founders left us the Second Amendment in order to keep the option of revolution within reach.

Prudent government leaders would carry out their duties so as to support The People, finding compromise solutions when necessary. The supposed "free" governments around the world have forgotten all about compromise and maintaining the happiness of the citizens.
