    “Save the children is basically a generic statement obviously,” lead convoy organizer Gordon Berry told PressProgress. “There’s a multitude of things you could be saving them from.”

    Berry says the convoy wants to save children from the “human trafficking industry,” but also from “mandating the shots to kids and kids getting sick and frigging education and all the stuff they’re teaching them in schools and the trans agenda and the math agenda, gender dysphoria – all of these things.”

    Oh, so it's mostly about being an anti-LGTBQ and education hate parade, with some flat earth and anti vax thrown in.

    "Trudeau’s paying LGBTQ a million dollars"

    Does he think LGTBQ is like a company or secret society or something?!

    “You got to save them from the whole system.”

    I can understand where he's coming from here, the system clearly failed him.

    So cute of them to pretend that they give a fuck about kids or anyone outside their ridiculous worldview.

    These people are literally a herd of cats in a room with a laser pointer pointed at a disco globe.

    My mother is a conspiracy theory sucker. Being isolated during the pandemic with her idiot boyfriend literally spun her around from being a compassionate intelligent woman who ran her own successful business for over a decade to literally being afraid of everything and everyone.

    “Save the Children” has been considered the cry of people that can’t put forth a reasonable argument for the thing they want for decades. Right up there with the people that like exclaiming “muh rights” and then either complain about something that’s never been a right, or immediately following up by trying to remove other people’s rights. I feel like using “save the children”(or similar variations) is a pretty good indication that I’m not going to agree with most of what follows.

    The convoy's private Facebook group, which coun nearly 300 members, indicates that it is focused on issues like pedophilia, child trafficking, grooming and indoctrination.

    Funny, they NEVER protest against churches. Why is that?

    “Get up off your god damned couch and show some passion for this country and some passion for the children that don’t have a voice, they get kidnapped, thrown in a railcar,” McDavid told viewers of one recent TikTok video, adding that children are being “tortured, hunted down like animals by – not the elites – by the removed on horseback.”

    Oh man, I thought we outlawed organized small children hunts. Those bourgeoise snobs in their red coats and riding britches.

    Also, where would one get a railcar of children. Is that what the "Dark Web" is for?

    I haven't dabbled in hard drugs, but this seems like an altered perspective.

    Has he been sitting in front of the computer for a couple of years sucking on a pipe and letting flame bait reprogram his mind?

        The only Noam Chomsky I care about it is about two and a half feet tall and has a pointy hat and comes alive at night and does.... things to the local wildlife. I've said too much.

          And this is what happens when you sit in front of a computer for a couple years, hitting the pipe but ignoring the right-/left-wing flame bait. You get normal drug stuff like, like erudite garden gnomes doing unspeakable things to woodland creatures. Pervy Garden Gnome 2024!
