Meh, the truckers were being squeezed by corporations and wrongly believed that Trump would do something about it while correctly believing that Biden would do nothing about it.
They got duped.
They're not the enemy.Dunking on them may feel cathartic for a minute but it's not constructive.
There's a real opportunity here to bring [at least some of them] to the left and it won't be accomplished by painting them as fools who got what they deserved.
