Thx neonx. I guess the convoy achieved all its objectives which were … ah, um, I couldn't remember what it was about so I looked again at page 1 of this thread and … I still don't know.
It apparently was not left wing or right wing, no, all christian dominionists were welcome. It wanted the government to honour the constitution, whatever that means (probably including those special parts about enforcing the supremacy of protestant christianity). Oh, and the election was rigged.
It seems that ultimately it was simply a flocking event for elderly Trumpistas, where they could bask in the agreement of like-minded assholes.
LOL. It wasn't just elderly Trumpistas. They were all a bit wack-a-doodle in the head.
I, too, can't remember what their mission was either -- it was so vague. Also, too, it seemed all white.
When they went to Washington D.C. and made their so cleverly arranged traffic stoppage on the freeways surrounding the city, I was lmao. DId they make the national news? Nope. Were the cops nice? Yep. Leaders still got ticketed and warrants put out for their arrest.
In D.C. proper, no you cannot camp on the Mall. And no, you can't sleep in your vehicle. You can come and protest anything you want, but there are basic rules.
So then they leave and go hide in the woods.
I dunno, I'd hoped I think for a bigger flame out. There is old 80s Def Leppard song, "Rock of Ages" with a lyric "It's better to burn out than to fade away." -- The convoy just faded away.
