I mean the truckers got what they wanted in the end, so I’m not sure what you’re saying. And I’m not sure the state and media should be crushing protests.

Being arrested/charged and the seizure of their assets is what they wanted?

The public health mandates that the truckers were protesting is what helped reduce COVID's effects and allowed for the reduction of the various health measures. Vaccine mandates did not end because of what the Convoy Truckers did, but despite what they did. The Convoy Truckers were working against their own interests (as the rest of the trucking industry realized).

Masks don't work and the only people who needed to be vaccinated were older folks and people with underlying health issues.

The vaccines themselves were not benign.

The whole COVID pandemic was poorly handled. Lockdowns destroyed businesses and workers livelihoods alike. Unless you were an office worker who could remote, COVID was an absolute disaster.
