FOX news knew exactly how to manipulate uneducated minds with this cultural war narrative they've used for years, and we see the fruits of their labor with online rubes mimicking their every word, all the while assuring us they don't watch FOX.

From "Trudeau is going to regret this" to assuming CNN wasn't covering the story at all, virtually everything Binger has said on this issue has already been relayed through the echo chamber that is Right Wing disinformation. FOX has not once even begun to acknowledge the possibility that these "freedom" truckers are breaking laws. If they were black protesters then that would be their first knee-jerk complaint.

Says the bumpkin who likely has said the word hundreds of times throughout his life. Especially if he's older than 50 with a background in Mormonism, arguably the most racist religion ever. Keep up the good fight by "not" watching FOX News all day. I'll watch it today just so I can get a head start prediction on what you're going to post, like the mindless puppet you are.

Lol, Lara. CNN has this on their front page, right under a story on the Ukraine situation.

Fox’s audience will happily believe what they’re told, though.

Remember, Binger doesn't watch FOX. But somehow he mysteriously channels every thing they say:

See? Lockdowns help to stop COVID. Even Binger agrees.

The people? Oh yes, the tiny proportion of the population who turned up at the bridge in question. A heroic resistance akin to the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae ...

Oh, wait ...


US-Canada border standoff dissolves peacefully as police move in

Many demonstrators drove away from Ambassador Bridge as scores of police approached shortly before dawn


From the article:
Pandemic restrictions have been far stricter in Canada than in the US, but Canadians have largely supported them. The vast majority of Canadians are vaccinated, and the Covid-19 death rate is one-third that of the US.

Justin Trudeau's old man Pierre had a number of famous lines back when he was Prime Minister. One was about his response to then-ongoing domestic terrorism in Québec (the FLQ crisis). A media interviewer asked him how far he was prepared to go in curtailing civil liberties to maintain law and order. He replied, "Just watch me." Three days later he invoked the War Measures Act, declaring a form of martial law.

Canada tries to maintain a reputation for resolving conflicts peacefully. The standdown between federal authorities and the Mohawk First Nation at Oka eventually just wound down, for instance. Armored corps officers whom I knew at the time, however, were stationed nearby. They told me shortly afterward that they had been practicing driving Leopard tanks through car barricades, and finding that it was easy. The Canadian authorities were not actually prepared to let that standoff continue forever. I doubt they'll let this one go on indefinitely, either.
I was a teenager before it was cool.
