Tessa, you're missing a critical element here. These people are not stupid in the classic use of the word. They are pawns in a game being played by forces seen and unseen hellbent on destroying 'liberalism' and small-d democracy. I live 12 miles away from the Ambassador Bridge and the people were being funded by dark money interests on both sides of the 48th parallel. A trucking firm in Alberta, the richest woman in Wyoming, Charles Koch, the 'Lets Go Brandon' crowd. People crowdfunded for the truckers. The woman who was the spokesperson for the convoy is the same person who wants to have the Parrie Provinces, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, secede because they don't like Trudeau.

It has very little to do with education. I'm 63, with a lifelong disability. I graduated high school in 1978. There were people who I grew up with who owned a house within a year of graduating, never spent a day in college. These are the people who voted for Reagan and Mulroney, Thatcher and Brexit, not to mention the Libidinous Asshole. It was noted recently that in 2012, Obama won 800 counties, two years ago, Biden won 500. Over 45 years, real income has dropped in places like the UK, US, Canada, Australia and Japan. Yet today, truckers make more money then at any time since the 1960s. These people aren't stupid, they see what's going on, but their methods were crude and very misguided, but the people funding them knew exactly what they were doing. Sowing discord.
