According to reports, a copycat trucker convoy intends to visit Washington, D.C. I suggest they rethink their plans. The participants will be incurring great risk for minimal, if any, potential benefit.
First, the risk. The police, prosecutors, judges, and indeed the jury pool in the District of Columbia are so partisan that Republicans and constitutional conservatives can be arrested, prosecuted, convicted, and jailed without having committed any crime. Indeed, it appears from the example of the January 6 prisoners that they can be jailed indefinitely without the legal system even bothering about prosecution or conviction.
On the other hand, Democrats and leftists will not likely be arrested, and if arrested, not likely prosecuted, and if prosecuted, not likely convicted, and if convicted, not likely to get meaningful punishment. Knowing this, they can act provocatively with little fear of being called to account for any crime they may commit during the provocation. This double-whammy of one-sidedness in the criminal "justice" system creates great legal risk for any Republican or constitutional conservative who may set foot or wheel within the geographic boundaries of the District of Columbia.
As to potential benefit, a demonstration requires two things to be effective: some warm bodies to show up in public and lots of sympathetic publicity. Because of the nature of the corporate media, any freedom-supporting trucker convoy will never get the sympathetic publicity necessary for an effective demonstration. Instead, the "mainstream" media will demonize the demonstrators. Admittedly, this is gradually changing with the emergence of alternative media and distribution of information via the internet, but this is not yet sufficient in scale to outweigh the mass effects of the corporate media. Too many apathetic Americans still rely on the alphabet media and the New York Times echo chamber.

Has James Madison written a reply to William Marbury?
If both the Inner and Outer Loop of the DC beltway are filled with an unending parade of heavy trucks, all moving at the prescribed minimum limit, with the necessary minimum vehicle occupancy in the HOV lanes, at close enough intervals that no or very little non-convoy traffic may enter, DC will quickly enough grind to a halt, with delivery only by helicopter or drone flights, or by trains that can still enter and leave.
Someone is sure to complain before the day is out.
Screw these eff'n wusses. Get a spine and wake up evermore and fight. Sure the convoy is going to face massive pushback from government. The injustices will be seen by Americans. The convoy is being live streamed. America will see it for what it is. It will grow each day. This is THE opportunity to completely destroy the mainstream media and leftist institutions. We can count on their tyranny. That is their fatal flaw and we need to use it against them everyday and in everyway. The rest of you can write your polite letters to your Assistant Democrat representatives. See how far that has got you so far.
Maryland, although currently with a Republican governor, has a lot of Democrats in positions of power.
The author would likely have warned off the founding fathers that their pursuits were not worth the risks.
DC is Black and anything contrary to Black rule is forbidden. Even Afro Heritage truckers will be arrested for messing with Black tyrannical rule
Most of the trucks will be semi tractors. The back of the sleepers, or the headache racks make good locations for big out-of-the-wind banners and signs, such as:
Biden means more!
More crime!
More inflation!
More restrictions!
More war!
Biden means less!
Less money!
Less freedom!
Less safety!
Less food!
exactly my point...
biden and company need to know they’re not wanted,and will not be bowed down to...
RE: The author would likely have warned off the founding fathers that their pursuits were not worth the risks.
Here’s a question — how many percent of the colonies were in supported of independence?
Look at a map : 1/4 mile near Woodrow Wilson bridge
Refuse to make any deliveries to DC and then send supporters to all DC retailers to buy up all the toilet paper.
I applaud the sentiment but they are 7 months too late
Why not just peacefully and legally drive through?
The old adage, "One has to stand for something or fall for anything."
American truckers can make the most impact by boycotting woke states.
It would only take a few trucks to SHUT DOWN the Beltway.
Shut it down, wait, when police show up, move along. Then, shut it down somewhere else or at multiple locations.
Rinse Repeat.
This would tie Washington in a knot. No need to go to the Capitol. OR do BOTH! But the Beltway thing is unstoppable.
I'm all on board with "fight." However, this is different than Canada. The Canadians appeared to be very organized and had some very specific goals. They stated that they would not leave Ottawa until they were heard and/or their demands were met. And they did exactly that, making enormous personal sacrifices.
Our copycat does not appear to be as organized regarding goals or dealing with the media. And did I hear correctly that they plan to stay 2 days and then leave? Why bother?
There's potential here but I don't think it's being maximized. Ambiguous goals and no publicity means no energy and no reason for anyone to listen to your demands, whatever they are.
So did the guys who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor.
