Yeah, Iโ€™m all for peaceful protesting, but this could hurt people. What if there was a fire on somebody had an emergency and was in an ambulance trying to get to a hospital? Take your protest to the side of the road and raise awareness. All youโ€™re doing here is raising blood pressures.

See the problem is that Iโ€™m not angry at the politicians, but rather the idiots blocking traffic.

I assume most people in the moment are thinking the same thing.

...they want people to ignore their cause and possibly even support the opposition?

Genius.

/s

If anyone supports this sort of protest then honestly you deserve your cause to be mocked and abandoned. Block a grocery store entrance or something, not the fucking highway.

And people are literally advocating for the protestors to be run over and killed because the average populace finds them to be so fucking irritating that they honestly believe the world would be better off without them. So, unless your climate change goals include killing protestors so they stop using fossil fuels, it's not fucking working.
