Shipments from Asia into Southern California ports have plummeted, meaning the truckers who typically drive those containers to their destination will be out of work soon. Truckers love to protest with a caravan of trucks or by stopping traffic with their trucks. It’s typically pretty effective.
When this happens, people will wake up and start to listen
Let’s all find a way to help them and make something happen. This is it!!

I’ve met many truckers, and used to work with a handful. They’re all Trumpers, listening to conservative radio and evangelical radio on repeat. They’re as programmed as can be. My stepdad is one of them, and I had him recently tell me that tariffs were good for truckers.
You’ve got a better chance of your average libertarian waking up and smelling the bullshit than you do your average trucker. They’re going to suffer and blame the left for it, as usual.
That looks like it hits rather close to home, thank you for that haha.
My cousin is a trucker, he has only ever spoken badly about Trump and conservatives. He actively calls his step son the R slur for his political beliefs.
He’s not the best guy, but he definitely doesn’t vote Trump.
Why would Joe Biden do that to them?
I know a trucker that’s gay, and very, very anti-Trump. He’s still fairly conservative–a lot more conservative than I am–but he’s def. smart enough to know that Republicans aren’t going to do him any favors.
Here’s to hoping his colleagues feel similarly, I’d love to be wrong in my opinion of his professional demographic.
I’ve been thinking people would wake up since 2016. Call me when it actually happens.
The fuck are they gonna protest. Their trucks are all gonna be repod in 90 days lol. Oh well usher in driverless trucks sooner than expected.
