A convoy of vehicles headed to Texas, organized by a group called “Take Our Border Back,” has had a chaotic start, including slashed tires and a stranded participant, according to WIRED.
Organizers of the convoy, one of whom described it as “God’s army,” per Vice, had aspirations of mobilizing tens of thousands of trucks to stop migrants from crossing the Texas-Mexico border into the US.
But despite an influx of donations, plenty of media attention, and a growing social media following, things haven’t gone exactly to plan.
According to WIRED, it all started to go wrong even before the convoy had set off.
Some attendees woke up to find the tires of their cars slashed outside a hotel they’d been staying at, one of the convoy’s live-streamers said, per WIRED.

I sense real “Keep government out of my Medicare” vibes with that one
I shouldn’t be surprised anymore, but are there actually people that think this?
Yes, there are. It was a meme before we even knew what memes were.

Don’t forget that one actor dipshit with the interview line like, “I was on food-stamps! Did anyone help me? Hell no!”

God damn it
Your neighbor sounds like the average MAGA airhead:
Nothing good in his life, so everyone else has to suffer as well.
Classic need for mental heath care. It’s not just about medication, it’s about understanding that you can feel better than “good enough”
Sooo…
I get the crazy trumper hate and stupidity 100% I wish everyone could see him for what he is and stop following blindly thinking he cares about anyone but himself.
But an 80yo shouldn’t have to work or have had to work for the last 8 years. He should be collecting SS, and should not have to live in absolute squalor. But we (as a whole in America) don’t care about mental health or old people, it’s not profitable.
The loving trump stuff can be tied to him not being mentally sound but it shouldn’t have anything to do with an 80yo getting money he likely paid into SS back out in retirement.

Yeah, but this is the sort of dumbfuck who has voted for politicians who dismantle and oppose social safety nets all his life.
It’s possible he prefers to live simply, because he is actively investing in DWAC and Trump NFTs…
See my comment about mental health :)
