Glenn Reynolds: "So we’re finally seeing a genuine, bottom-up, working-class revolution. In Canada, and increasingly in the United States, truckers and others are refusing to follow government orders, telling the powerful that, in a popular lefty formulation, if there’s no justice, there’s no peace."
"Naturally, the left hates it."
"For more than a century, lefties have talked about such a revolt. But if you really paid attention, the actual role of the working class in their working-class revolution was not to call the shots — it was to do what it was told by the “intellectual vanguard” of the left."
"A working-class revolution *led* by the working class is the left’s worst nightmare because the working class doesn’t want what the left wants. The working class wants jobs, a stable economy, safe streets, low inflation, schools that teach things and a conservative, non-adventurous foreign policy that won’t get a lot of working-class people killed. It’s not excited about gender fluidity, critical race theory, “modern monetary theory,” foreign adventures and defunding police."
"Worse yet, a huge part of the lefty self-image revolves around feeling superior to the working class and openly expressing disdain for it. One need spend only a few minutes tuning into left media like NPR, CNN or MSNBC to hear the disdain for working-class Americans, inhabitants of “flyover country,” people who live in the middle of nowhere."
"So naturally, the idea that those people might be staging a revolution is intolerable."
Its always about power for the 1% with the Left. Look at every Commie and Socialist nation throughout history. 99% live in squalor while the 1% live like royalty.
The “Freedom Convoy” of truckers, following the lead of their Canadian counterparts, plan to drive from California to Washington DC in opposition to vaccine rules nationwide.
