Just heard on the radio, the bus protest is 10 miles long, circling the National Mall - Reminds me of the truckers during Carter (?)

Silly question - but exactly what is the purpose of protesting in DC? Nearly ALL of the economy-destroying shutdowns are from the state level (and some at the local/county level). How is protesting in DC going to fix that?

It’s amazing how the media is covering this major protest. They seem to cover it almost as much as the March for Life.

The problem is not one of “understanding”. These lockdown fiends are leftist tyrants who would kick you out of their paths if you were starving on the sidewalk.

The folks want to get back to work. The dems want them to sit home and die.

Will it even be reported by news outlets?

Is this the same bus company that transports antifa and liberal ‘elites’ to their fake protests? Same bunch?

Small point of editting:

” a silent protest to ask for AIDE.”
The correct form of that word would be “AID”.

Everyone regards bars, restaurants and diners as “non-essential”, but I see it differently.

Throughout history, resistance to government tyranny has always depended on informal gatherings of patriots in public places - pubs, taverns, diners, crowded marketplaces, etc.. - where old farts and young activists gather and bitch about an overreaching government.

Before this shutdown, small groups of friends would gather for breakfast at their local diner each morning, or happy hour after work at the local pub, or vets at McDonalds for coffee...

People seem to be dismissing these venues as “non-essential” - but they are not. Liberty depends on such informal gatherings taking place, and I find it very troubling that they seem to have been specifically targeted in this unconstitutional shutdown.

The Left seems particularly happy with these social venues being shut down for the foreseeable future. I wonder why that is.

Protests by the Left Get a Pass - While Conservatives Get Arrested
All protestors are equal - but some are more equal than others.

“...Just heard on the radio, the bus protest is 10 miles long, circling the National Mall - Reminds me of the truckers during Carter (?)...”
I wonder if we could fill those buses with patriots in November to go vote in Virginia. With no voter ID there, we should swarm them with thousands of patriots from all over the country.

Good. Government has no right to prevent people from working. Time to stop this nonsense.
