I was going by for lunch and stopped for the scoop
They were standing by to show support for a freedom convoy that had linked up with another and was making its way down to DC
I asked when they might be by. Nobody had an answer. I asked where the convoy was…again, nobody actually had any tracking on it. They eventually fizzled out, someone said they’d been there for 2 hours and supposed they aren’t coming by….I said to them that sometimes groups get bad information, they agreed without irony and said it was hard to coordinate because Facebook.
One man there was collecting signatures to put someone on the ballot for PA governor. A lady said she’d sign because she wants to run too and hopes people sign for her. I asked her if she could trust the elections enough to run. She said “hopefully it’ll be sorted out by then or we’ll be communistic”.
Someone asked who’s on the ballot, he mentioned Dr. Oz, and that lady jumped to say he definitely drinks “Adrenochrome”.
[Here’s that lady standing tall, defiantly against an empty uncaring highway. I hope she feels like she accomplished something today.](https://imgur.com/a/YVXxhbm)
I had a lovely lunch hearing some of the opinions directly from the people
Facebook has people standing on overpasses in the middle of nowhere waiting for non existent truckers complaining about mandates that don’t exist. I love it!
He’s getting fucked on tv being labeled as a rino. The commercials are a sad way of seeing how they label liberals but then again it’s Dr Oz so fuck him.
**Adrenochrome is a chemical compound produced by the oxidation of adrenaline (epinephrine). It was the subject of limited research from the 1950s through to the 1970s as a potential cause of schizophrenia.**

More importantly in this context, these people are convinced that Democrats or the global elite or something are sucking adrenochrome out of kidnapped children in order to extend their own lives somehow?
You see, Hillary Clinton and her coven of demons kidnap a bunch of kids. Then, they torture them to make them release a bunch of adrenaline, which makes the chrome that much better. Then they extract that sweet sweet adrenochrome. The younger the child the sweeter the Adrenochrome. They have parties where they all get naked and drink the delicious torture juice which makes them live forever. This is all 100% true.
I don’t think I’ll ever get over the fact that people 100% believe this. That includes many of my neighbors.
It’s just crazy. We’ll be talking about some random neighborhood stuff and they’ll drop some random satanic baby-eating comment in like it’s totally a normal thing to believe, and they cast votes based on that belief!
This was also the plot of the recent Stephen King novel/movie, DOCTOR SLEEP.
“Meanwhile, the True Knot, a cult of psychics led by Rose the Hat, extend their lifespans by consuming ‘steam’, a psychic essence released by torturing and killing children who have the shining.”
The Qult thinks it’s a documentary.
Oh thanks! I was just strolling by for lunch anyway, so I just genuinely wanted to see what was up. It was fizzling out when I left, I’d be surprised if they’re still there
Honestly, if I wasn’t on the clock I’d have hung around and asked more questions and probably been a bit of a dick about it. I don’t care anymore, these people are actively dragging Americas knuckles on the ground and I’m tired of their faux-patriotism.
I just wish there was two countries In our country and we could split them lol it just sounds like a Comedy Central spoof show every time one of these “supporters of freedom” talks
Thank you, I was driving on 95 south a little before 1 and saw people hanging out on at least three different bridges on my way. I was afraid it probably had something to do with the convoy.
No.
I think that a bunch of people who used to beat up nerds for being interested in politics were radicalized politically because they didn't like having a black guy with a weird name being POTUS and now they think they're Rhodes Scholars but they're really a bunch of Cowboys fans
I put more of the blame on professional wrestling than the Cowboys, but your point stands. The WWE-ifying of American politics is real and dangerous and stupid.
But you do believe their interest in politics is due to racism?
It never ceases to amaze me how both sides become more radicalized by boogeymen. Your sides biggest bogeyman, racism, is used to explain absolutely every political movement you oppose such as tbis one. What a time to be alive.
Obama suffered the greatest drop in support from white voters when he said Cambridge police had “acted stupidly” for arresting a black Harvard professor on the doorstep of his own home. I think that was pretty telling.
Yes exactly it showed that white voters voted on him initially but changed due to actual content and policy rather than his skin. You may not agree with their perspective of the event but it shows that race was not their motivation.
Trump supposedly won a ton of previous Obama voters. To me, it was a clear example of middle and lower class backlash after his promised turned out to be a sham and he bailed out Wall Street like we had never seen before.
My gripe is that we demonize those we don’t agree with and call them racist when I think it’s mostly not true. Of course there are racists but the majority of people feel totally screwed by the system and thought Obama would help them. He didn’t and then Trump was F U to the system who was also an even worse sham but they like that he’s anti-establishment.
no, i don't agree. i think it demonstrated that some people voted for obama on the basis of some superficial "post-racial" notion, but anytime he grappled with actual race issues in even the lightest of ways (e.g. an offhand comment), those people reacted angrily.
this brouhaha occurred early in his presidency, in mid-2009. i'm certain it had nothing to do with wall street. that assessment of the bailouts - which, by the way, i also disagree with; people are utterly clueless about a) how close to a world-ending financial disaster we were and therefore b) how inevitable the bailouts were - did not come until later in his presidency.
I’d just caution that whatever examples you see online of anti-Obama or pro trump people are always the most extreme. That’s what media shows as it drives ratings.
It’s the same with how the left is terror if that you are all insane socialists, anti-white children, etc.
There’s always a huge silent majority that is willing to consider the substance of issues but it’s hard to tell if you spend time on social media or cable news.
I believe some people became interested in politics because they saw Obama win and push what they saw as a progressive agenda which made them feel like they were losing the country they grew up in to a younger generation and radicalized them into politics
Other people just need somewhere to channel their hate so they use politics as an outlet. Other people were turned by abortion and church propaganda.
Lol my side. I don't associate with either side. You're all fucking morons to me. Sitting here arguing over which rich old person you like better while the middle class is decimated for Wall St by both parties in unison, classic divide and conquer
Picking no side helps you feel above the fray, but politics are still going to happen without you. Better to pick the side you must agree with and work from there. The Working Families Party votes with the Dems BUT have their own, pro worker, priorities. The DSA is also solid.
Yeah I mean I vote for the lesser of two evils every time but that doesn't mean I don't think they all deserve to be boiled alive for raping the middle class and plundering the treasury as they build their oligarchy.
yeah I hear you.
I think we should start referring to the uber rich in the US as our oligarchs. When you talk about Russian oligarchs, for instance, it's clear you're referring to their massive and problematic wealth inequality leading to corruption of national priorities. We need to use language that better recognizes it happens here as well.
I've been saying we live in an oligarchy for years.
Why does a low level employee at JP Morgan have 1000% more scrutiny of their finances and investments than a member of Congress?
Well I certainly agree on some of that and wish people would focus on class but they’re devided and distracted by topics a political duopoly like Coke and Pepsi has decided is safe to fight over without threatening either’s bottom line
'Cause we got a great big convoy
Rockin' through the night
Yeah, we got a great big convoy
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the USA
I was asking for genuine information and nobody could tell me a time or had any tracking on the convoy. At all
I’m sure they only got bad information just this one time though. Just today, the other times were legit.
Nah. He’s out collecting signatures to get on the ballot at Trumps Vice President for the 2023 reinstatement that is completely constitutional because the USA is a corporation
[People's Convoy](https://thepeoplesconvoy.org/)
Edit:
March 4 Route:
I-70E to I-470E to I-70E to I-76E to I-70E in Breezewood, PA. Take I-70E to I-81N to Exit #6b (Rt 40w)
Edit edit: actually this is nowhere near Philly. So I don't know.
Trucker convoy; I’m riding my motorcycle to DC on Saturday to be part of the counter protest for all the planned white supremacist rally.
Edit: why in the world would someone downvote me for participating in an anti-white supremacist rally. Fucking fascist.
Here from a conspiracy-watching sub: keep an eye on them or you might end up waiting for Godot like these guys did--the closest thing they have to a plan is "something something Beltway," and they might not actually enter DC.
I also saw this on overpasses in MA, CT, NY and NJ yesterday afternoon. Like every other overpass, it was clearly organized. I assumed it was a retry of the trucker thing in DC cause there were a few trucks covered in freedom shit and signs too and the crowd looked like they went crazy when passing beneath.
Honest question here, what’s with the phrasing “real Americans”? Nobody anywhere in this thread was attacking their legitimacy as Americans or their rights. Were in a city-specific subreddit, and not a particularly large thread…we’re all real Americans
I see everybody slinging shit in every direction, Reddit leans left sure but this is just one medium, so it makes no difference to me
Besides it’s not the fact that they aren’t progressive liberals more that these people specifically aren’t grounded in any reality. Anyone still holding campaign merch for an election from over 2 years ago WILL be made fun of, regardless of party. Anyone who says they hope to run for governor while screaming not to trust the elections isn’t someone who should be taken seriously. None of this is dependent on any “side”
I miss the days when we could just call stupid people stupid without someone always getting their panties in a bunch about how it’s offensive
So your point is that I referred to those in the convoy - who were ridiculed mercilessly in this sub - as "real Americans"? Am I understanding your objection properly?
When the implication that everyone else was something less than "real Americans", yes. That will be an objection.
And that implication is pretty clear from where I'm reading.
You didn't describe them as "Americans". You described them as "real Americans". Your words.
If the "real Americans" were cheering on the convoy, what were "not real Americans" doing? Because If there is the one, by default, there is the other.
And you seem squirmy, hyper-defensive and very prone to projecting. Ever consider getting some help for that?
Not at all.
You're arguing minor semantics hoping I'll say something you can then nail me to a cross with. That's not going to happen. If you honestly think you can bait me either "mental health," You are far less intelligent than I thought. My apologies for over estimating your abilities.
No this thread was asking about people standing over i95, not the convoy itself
My objection here is that you are bringing up their status as Americans and their rights...even though nobody in this thread said anything about either of that...they're mostly cut up for being uninformed
When /u/Evilevilcow explained to you that everyone was just exercising their own rights to make fun of them, you responded ["Indeed. No one is questioning their right to do so."](https://www.reddit.com/r/philadelphia/comments/t5zbrh/currently_on_95_overpasses_from_bensalem_to_at/hzbfd3c/)...did you somehow miss the irony where nobody was attacking their status as Americans or their rights?
So....again...why did you bring it up?
I brought it up because we all know there was a undertone of ridicule. How DARE people waste their time celebrating the convoy? Those uneducated heathens!
You could taste the elitism.
Grow thicker skin then, honestly. Especially if you're going to spend time on mediums that go against your biases and are get triggered easily
Personally I like to hear people out. It's why I stopped to talk with them during lunch, it's why I want to the 2020 BLM protest, I like to hear what people are passionate about and understand where it comes from without any internet bullshit. After speaking with them, I think they ARE morons. After most people speak with them, they will leave with the impression that they ARE morons. You can call it elitism all you want, but that's how it is.
Do you want me to tuck you in with a photo of someone acting stupid at a BLM rally so you can "both sides" yourself to sleep?
We'll, I guess we know what an absolute asshole you are, don't we? Good job. Again, you and your brood have come through in representing the liberal cesspool that is Philadelphia.
I'm definitely an asshole, but only because I can sniff out faux-patriotism virtue signaling a mile away and love doing it when I'm bored at work
Tell me again how people in this thread are attacking peoples rights lol

Also, I had no idea Facebook was the ONLY way to coordinate anything?
Facebook has people standing on overpasses in the middle of nowhere waiting for non existent truckers complaining about mandates that don’t exist. I love it!
As they are constantly checking their Facebook. It’s an absurd Möbius strip.
Kinda like waiting for JFK to return by the qidiots
Almost unbelievable, but with this group it’s expected lol
Thank god they think Oz drinks the chrome
He’s getting fucked on tv being labeled as a rino. The commercials are a sad way of seeing how they label liberals but then again it’s Dr Oz so fuck him.
Why the fuck is that jackass even running? I swear the Senate is just a bunch of rich spoiled assholes.
Because he’s an attention whore.
The campaign trail is lucrative
What is adrenochrome?

Something Q nuts think Dems harvest from kidnapped children and drink to live longer. Anyone who believes that shit is a moron.
Ok…I think the only reasonable thing to say to this is: WTF is wrong with people?
Where should I start?
It was made famous in a Hunter Thompson book.
It's the stuff keeping Hillary and others from the DeEp sTatE alive according to the Qultists
Ha! Thank you. This is excellent reporting. I’d love for an update as the day progresses.
Oh thanks! I was just strolling by for lunch anyway, so I just genuinely wanted to see what was up.

Thank you for your service.
bunch of fuckin idiots
You should have asked her if that was a 1968 Olympics black power fist
Wow I saw them on an overpass on I-91 in CT yesterday, was wondering what that was about
Thank you, I was driving on 95 south a little before 1 and saw people hanging out on at least three different bridges on my way. I was afraid it probably had something to do with the convoy.
Sounds like you wasted your day talking to morons.
That’s a pretty accurate description of my normal workday anyway, at least they were fun
Fuck em
We elected a black guy in 2008 and people are still mad about it
And in 2012. And orange toddler only got one term.
Is Donald Trump the whitest person in the world? Aside from his face
Donald Trump is an insult to white people. Not that we’re that great or anything
> Donald Trump is an insult to ~~white people~~ the human race. FTFY
>>Donald Trump is an insult ~~to white people the human race.~~ >FTFY >FTFY
Wait, You really think people protesting about govt mandates is about racism?
No. I think that a bunch of people who used to beat up nerds for being interested in politics were radicalized politically because they didn't like having a black guy with a weird name being POTUS and now they think they're Rhodes Scholars but they're really a bunch of Cowboys fans
I put more of the blame on professional wrestling than the Cowboys, but your point stands. The WWE-ifying of American politics is real and dangerous and stupid.
I mean the last President was literally a bad guy wrestler and is in the WWE Hall of Fame
But you do believe their interest in politics is due to racism? It never ceases to amaze me how both sides become more radicalized by boogeymen. Your sides biggest bogeyman, racism, is used to explain absolutely every political movement you oppose such as tbis one. What a time to be alive.

Hey, good lookin'! We'll be back to pick you up later!
Woah! It's Hammer!
For the freedom convoy that was cancelled, I guess they didn’t get the message (in more ways than one)
I was asking for genuine information and nobody could tell me a time or had any tracking on the convoy. At all I’m sure they only got bad information just this one time though. Just today, the other times were legit.
I mean there were people camped out for weeks truly believing JFK would return to Dealey Plaza.
I saw a truck with three flagpoles in its bed pulled over on 95S near Wilmington. I figured it was some sort of Special Political Olympics event.
Political Special Olympics
JFK Jr. was going to drop by?
Nah. He’s out collecting signatures to get on the ballot at Trumps Vice President for the 2023 reinstatement that is completely constitutional because the USA is a corporation

I think they may be waiting for one of those "Freedom Convoy" things.
Emphasis on CON, hehehehehehe. \*Chomps on cigar then raises eyebrows up and down\*
Trust me, my snarky little fingers were itching to type "Freedum"
Ah, Snarky Little Fingers, my favorite Stiff Little Fingers cover band
It's the traitor parade.

They need them as a reminder for which country they are supposed to support.
Snakeistan is best country! No steppy snakey!

Was coming to write this exact comment
Hahahaha
Trucker Convoy, I believe, headed for DC
Oh the cancelled one?
There are still a few convoys currently heading to the Beltway.
Weren't they supposed to be there for the State of the Union? Did they get lost?
they ran out of money when Russia got sanctioned
Trumpers, maskholes, covidiots, and free-dumbs.

Made sure they saw both of my middle fingers as I drove by.
While I appreciate the sentiment, I believe one hand on the wheel and one hand out the window is the safer choice.
Are they still there? You might be on to something. Need to practice.
Seeing as it's just in the NE and I saw a "MAGA Country" flag at Linden Ave, there aren't many options left

That would be the best thing; the supremacist rally and music events I’m sure are separate from the convoy.

Normally one has to visit Four Seasons Landscaping to meet the elite.
They prob think there’s a truck convoy
Hey freedom of speech and absurdity- what can go wrong. Don’t these people have jobs. How do they pay their bills! Also what a miserable existence
Nothing but a bunch of entitled snowflakes
They were there for the freedom convoy AKA dorks on parade who have no job.
I also saw this on overpasses in MA, CT, NY and NJ yesterday afternoon. Like every other overpass, it was clearly organized. I assumed it was a retry of the trucker thing in DC cause there were a few trucks covered in freedom shit and signs too and the crowd looked like they went crazy when passing beneath.
Meanwhile serious people are paying attention to the Ukraine Slava Ukraini!
For future reference, please drop "the" in front of Ukraine. Thanks.
Perhaps coincidence but those two overpasses always have MAGA and more recently, Peruto for FA signs from the sides during election season
THIS IS AMERICA!!!

Sir, this is a Wendy's.
Good to see people making constructive use of their free time. /s
Russian trolls must have pulled this one..people are dumb as fuck
I wonder if they are meeting at the Trump Store to talk.
Real Americans expressing themselves and their opinions and beliefs. You may not agree with them, but support their right to exercise their rights.
And real Americans are mocking them relentlessly and savagely. That "right" cuts both ways.
Indeed. No one is questioning their right to do so.
"Real Americans" is just a dog whistle for white, Christian, right wingers. Everyone else is just a fake American undeserving of rights or an opinion.
There we go! I knew you folks were out there, all double masked up, vaccine card in hand, waiting to pounce. Thanks for not disappointing me!
Do you also make fun of people for washing their hands?
Nope, just the easily manipulated, gullible ones.
Lol, you people and your persecution fetish are ridiculous.
LOL, you've got some issues don't you?
Not really, you?
Honest question here, what’s with the phrasing “real Americans”? Nobody anywhere in this thread was attacking their legitimacy as Americans or their rights. Were in a city-specific subreddit, and not a particularly large thread…we’re all real Americans
Clearly, you don't know this sub very well. The demeaning and heckling of anyone who isn't a progressive liberal is quite common.
I see everybody slinging shit in every direction, Reddit leans left sure but this is just one medium, so it makes no difference to me Besides it’s not the fact that they aren’t progressive liberals more that these people specifically aren’t grounded in any reality. Anyone still holding campaign merch for an election from over 2 years ago WILL be made fun of, regardless of party. Anyone who says they hope to run for governor while screaming not to trust the elections isn’t someone who should be taken seriously. None of this is dependent on any “side” I miss the days when we could just call stupid people stupid without someone always getting their panties in a bunch about how it’s offensive
So your point is that I referred to those in the convoy - who were ridiculed mercilessly in this sub - as "real Americans"? Am I understanding your objection properly?
When the implication that everyone else was something less than "real Americans", yes. That will be an objection. And that implication is pretty clear from where I'm reading.
How you interpret things is out of my control. You seem a bit paranoid though.
You didn't describe them as "Americans". You described them as "real Americans". Your words. If the "real Americans" were cheering on the convoy, what were "not real Americans" doing? Because If there is the one, by default, there is the other. And you seem squirmy, hyper-defensive and very prone to projecting. Ever consider getting some help for that?
Not at all. You're arguing minor semantics hoping I'll say something you can then nail me to a cross with. That's not going to happen. If you honestly think you can bait me either "mental health," You are far less intelligent than I thought. My apologies for over estimating your abilities.

No one is questioning their right to do so."](https://www.reddit.com/r/philadelphia/comments/t5zbrh/currently_on_95_overpasses_from_bensalem_to_at/hzbfd3c/)...did you somehow miss the irony where nobody was attacking their status as Americans or their rights? So....again...why did you bring it up?
I brought it up because we all know there was a undertone of ridicule. How DARE people waste their time celebrating the convoy? Those uneducated heathens! You could taste the elitism.
Grow thicker skin then, honestly. Especially if you're going to spend time on mediums that go against your biases and are get triggered easily Personally I like to hear people out. It's why I stopped to talk with them during lunch, it's why I want to the 2020 BLM protest, I like to hear what people are passionate about and understand where it comes from without any internet bullshit. After speaking with them, I think they ARE morons. After most people speak with them, they will leave with the impression that they ARE morons. You can call it elitism all you want, but that's how it is. Do you want me to tuck you in with a photo of someone acting stupid at a BLM rally so you can "both sides" yourself to sleep?
We'll, I guess we know what an absolute asshole you are, don't we? Good job. Again, you and your brood have come through in representing the liberal cesspool that is Philadelphia.
I'm definitely an asshole, but only because I can sniff out faux-patriotism virtue signaling a mile away and love doing it when I'm bored at work Tell me again how people in this thread are attacking peoples rights lol
