My tax dollars better not support their welfare when their idiot asses get fired.

Horse with no Name
(33,956 posts)According to several trucking Facebook groups, several viral Tik Tok videos and a smattering of posts across the internet, truck drivers, and even some trucking companies, are planning to park their trucks in response to the election and coronavirus lockdown measures.
As of now the word is November 29th, states one trucker in a now-viral Tik Tok video.

Apologies for Fox Business link - it was the least objectionable one I could find in a quick search.

(25,471 posts)Since right-wing media is likely their only source of "news", they didn't get the memo.
What's kind of funny, though, is that they're protesting what they think is a policy of the incoming president, Biden.
Even they know it's over.

(4,845 posts)They either heard a Fox or talk radio talking head misrepresenting what Biden said, or heard one of the ads that edited what Biden actually said.

(25,471 posts)As I noted in another response, it's kind of funny that they're protesting what they've "heard" are Biden policies.
Even they know it's over.

(6,679 posts)My brother is married to a whackadoodle. The kind that posts memes of Jesus standing behind Trump in the Oval Office. Crazy stuff. I've nearly lost my brother to Trumpism several times during all this. So, I really feel for you.
