Gallup’s most recent survey has found that Americans aren’t very satisfied with the way things are going. 82% are dissatisfied. The good news is that it’s been worse: it’s presently a tiny bit better than it was last year at this time and it was even worse just after President Obama had been elected.
I’ll make a prediction: it will get even worse. The strategy of both political parties and media seems to be to stoke dissatisfaction.

Although the legacy news seems dismissive of the Canadian Convoy, something mirrored by the reader/viewership who mainly follow mainstream media, there are striking correlations between what is going on there and the heightened dissatisfaction polled by people here.
In Canada the working class grass roots are rising up against both the liberal and conservative elites who sit in the top offices of government. The same kind of clash is happening here in the states between elite progressives, the GOP, and what have grown into their rivals, blue collar workers. The latter has formed a new conservative group (MAGA) under the last president, and is steadily building what some see as an improved conservative coalition – something the Canadian “Truckers†leaders have already laid out as a goal at a recent press conference.
â€The Canadian Conservative Party is the right wing of the UniParty bird, and the extreme liberals are the left wing. Both parties support the vulture of big government.
As a result, the Freedom Trucker movement is a threat to politicians in the Canadian Conservative Party just like the Tea Party and MAGA movement were/are a threat to the Republican Party in the U.S.â€
