Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.“ - Benjamin Franklin.
“When people get used to preferential treatment equal treatment seems like discrimination.” - Thomas Sowell
That's right, the "trucker" convoy fading away with a whimper was truly an awesome victory for the People's Revolutionary Freedom Army!
If you're a TrueBeliever, that's how you have to rationalize things.

Now we find the "truckers" (mostly jackholes in SUVs) were going to circle the beltway ... but called it off due to the weather being a bit nippy. Dedicated bunch, they are.
I don't think there are many of them left. Sitting in a cold parking lot for days does not build morale, and with the ruble crashing, they're not getting paid any more.
