Hard to disagree with Andrea Vance, and for me this was the passage that got me:
“
The freedom convoy is not the dispossessed and disenfranchised of America’s 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 don’t like the consequences.
‘Good Kiwis’ 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.
