Exactly. The complaint is about the message, more than the tactic.
It's spelled "freedumb convoy"
Also Karen Convoy would also be acceptable
I get protesting and support it, but wouldn't it be better to surround government buildings and not let them out until they do something instead of stopping worker drones get home?
They did similar with private jets, which seems much better.
Problem being hurting the ruling class has much harder penalties.
I imagine it's the same with the government.
The idea I guess is to get press attention and make the government look bad. How effective this strategy is remains to be seen.
It's also easier for the ruling class to simply ignore protesters, and it doesn't get your message seen by the general population. This is why the civil rights movement included marches that ground entire sections of cities to a halt and why MLK supported groups like the Black Panthers. Disruption and inconvenience are necessary to enacting change. Even with mass public support, nothing really happened for civil rights until MLK was killed and billions of dollars worth of property was torched. A week later, the civil rights laws were created, approved, and enacted.
