Dem Lawmaker Advocates Very Troubling ‘Canadian’ Action Against American Truckers – Opinion

By Pluralist / February 22, 2022

American truckers inspired by the Freedom Convoy in Canada have been organizing an action to end in Washington, D.C., to present their case in objection to Joe Biden’s continuation of a state of emergency and continuing of COVID mandates.

Rep. Ruben Galego (D-AZ), however, is calling for their trucks to be seized and redistributed.

“Perfect time to impound and give the trucks to small trucking companies looking to expand their business,” Gallego tweeted.

Gallego, who is advocating an unconstitutional seizure and disregarding the Fourth Amendment, is beautiful. This guy took an oath to the Constitution while serving in the military, but he doesn’t seem to know the first thing about what it says. He isn’t saying if they break the law and are judged guilty, to then grab the trucks. If they protest they can be taken away.

This is how an elected member is publicly going. It is not far from what you were thinking. Gallego is one of those people who would do anything to make it happen. Redistribution to the people he would rather get the trucks — how communistic of Gallego. He doesn’t get that the people who would be protesting would likely be those hardest hit by COVID restrictions — the small truckers that he claims to care about. It is time to wake up if you are wondering how you can get to Canada or dictatorships.

But it’s not just Gallego, and that’s why it’s very troubling.

A new poll from Trafalgar Group and Convention of States Action finds that Democrats overwhelmingly favor Trudeau’s actions against the Freedom Convoy: 65 percent said they approved, with 17 percent disapproving. Another reason Democrats shouldn’t be elected to office in November is the fact that Democrats get this kind of support from Democrats.

The Republican response was more negative than expected, with 87% of potential GOP voters disapproving, and just 8% agreeing. Respondents who said they did not belong to either one of the two main parties cut against Trudeau’s crackdown with 74% disapproving versus 21% approving.

Aside from Democrats, the only other demographic areas identified in the poll that cut in Trudeau’s favor are the ages 65 and older category and among blacks and Hispanics. Every other demographic – men, women, Asian, white, younger age groups – disapproved of Trudeau’s handling of the protesters.

Between 25 and 34 year-olds, there was the largest gap in disapproval and approval. In that age group, 100% of respondents disapproved of Trudeau’s tactics.

This resulted in 55 percent disapproving and 35 percent appraising. While it’s comforting that the Republicans and independents have sense — even if Democrats don’t, it shouldn’t even be that high an approval number. But it is because of the Democrats’ responses. This is what the Democrats have done to the Constitution, liberty, protest rights, and individual rights. Democrats throw this all out of the window.

Just a reminder about that “support” would involve: seizing bank accounts for daring to protest, conscripting people forcing them to work for the government to oppress protesters, banning protest, fencing off a city, setting up checkpoints, beating protesters including with a gun butt, running disabled people over with horses.

Democrats are for all of this — and more.
