Catching Up With The Clown Convoy

I'd really meant to leave this clowns alone, but Crazy Uncle Sam Lady was not the most obtuse among these drivers:

"You go around the Beltway, birds are flying, birds are flying everywhere!" he said. "That's the kind of people that live up there, you know? It's a different world, D.C. is a different world."

The driver went on the say that "we're trying to straighten [D.C.] out, we're trying to clean it up, that's what this is all about, trying to get it cleaned up."

By driving around in heavy traffic, thus causing more traffic?  Did he expect to be greeted with hearts and flowers and a key to the city?

By the way, the organizers of this joke are claiming they "have doubled in size since that first time we’ve went around the Beltway."  Except:

Beginning on Sunday with an initial foray that barely made a dent in the Beltway traffic flow, the convoy appears to be diminishing by the day. It peaked on its first day with about 1,200 vehicles, including both rigs and personal vehicles, according to a homeland security official who spoke to Raw Story on condition of anonymity, and dropped to about 500 vehicles on Thursday.

Which is not the only conflict between fantasy and reality among them: 

And I never want to hear again how "bright" or "smart" Ted Cruz is: What the hell does it even mean? Truckers were free to drive around America without masks or vaccines, especially since so much of their time is spent in a truck cab, alone. Their major complaint was with Canada not letting unvaccinated people across their border. That has nothing to do with Biden or the Congress or even D.C. I'm not sure the truckers and drivers gathered in Hagerstown understand that, although Cruz does. And it may be their anger was being used to raise money for other purposes. How the money that was raised in being used is so uncertain even the Daily Beast couldn't say more than that it wasn't clear where the money was going. Raw Story reports many truckers have left Maryland to go back to work, which would indicate the protest is hardly a socialist paradise where all participants are sharing alike in the donations.  It's such a clusterfuck there is some speculation it could lead to a federal investigation for wire fraud charges (mispresenting what the funds would be used for). These clowns have absolutely no clue what "civil disobedience" means.
