The organizers expect the convoy to grow as it crosses the country, and by Sunday morning their website indicated that they had received donations totaling $1,502,140.
The convoy's organizers place particular emphasis on the need to end the national public health emergency - first declared two years ago - because more than a dozen states are still using it as a pretext to impose vaccine mandates.
The People's Convoy is a rolling metaphor for a multiethnic working class that has been abandoned by the Democratic Party and is gravitating toward the GOP. Consequently, the corporate media is portraying the whole exercise as deeply sinister.
The Daily Beast attributes the convoy's fund-raising success to the fell machinations of a "Conservative dark-money group created to fund election challenges." This mysterious cabal has allegedly pivoted to funding the trucker convoy.
Inevitably, we will see "News" stories connecting the convoy to confederate flags, swastikas, and white supremacy.
The convoy is growing, as is the working-class contingent of the Republican Party, regardless of attempts by the corporate media to misrepresent both.
Presumably, there will be protestors on the mall Tuesday, but they won't be from "The People's Convoy." This group of truckers will be in Missouri, expanding their convoy, when our embattled president reads his first SOTU script, hoping to convince a skeptical electorate that he has a clue.
