The freedom convoy is not the dispossessed and disenfranchised of AmericaÔÇÖs Rust Belt. It is frustrating in the extreme to see these people portrayed as the innocent or misguided victims of a cruel state, or economic disparity.
They exercised their freedom of choice and rejected the vaccine. Now they are throwing a tantrum on the lawn because they donÔÇÖt like the consequences.
ÔÇÿGood KiwisÔÇÖ do not intimidate schoolkids, make death threats, terrorise neighbourhoods, damage public property and bring small businesses to their knees. This is not our Springbok tour moment, and these people are not noble freedom fighters. This is Trumpism.
