Being patriotic is not allowed anymore. If they shut down the fundraiser, they should be returning every cent back to the donors, not funneling it into left-wing charities.
We need to show the truckers even more support now.
Donors will get a refund if they request it; if they don't, the money will go to charities. (I do agree that the latter should be an opt-in rather than opt-out.)
The truckers should get the money that the donors intended to. Period.
Not a dime was prevented from going to BLM during that months that they criminally rioted. The money should go where it was intended to go. Period.
That the money won't is disgusting, but it's one more event that should put to rest the idea that the explosion of the internet "empowers" ordinary citizens. The internet, like everything else, empowers the elites of our society. The privileges and special treatment that our Congress have bestowed on "Big Tech' companies ought to be reevaluated in the face of the internet being oppressive, as opposed to liberating and empowering, as was once the promise not that long ago.
Notice unlike with BLM this money isnt really being used to bail out persons arrested for criminal conduct.
And the first minute any of these jackasses are arrested for trespassing, disorderly, etc. and their trucks impounded, I guarantee the funds will be used for those purposes.
