Once a year, the “ten-four DC” trucker rally sets up on the Mall, polishing and showing off their semis and talking to the public about trucking industry issues and concerns. This year they have a problem: the far-right/antivax/1776 movement convoy MAGAts are trying to take it over.

This is a classic example of a strategy known as “entryism” in which a smaller, more radical organization attempts to infiltrate and take control of a much larger group.

From the organizers’ website: “Ten Four D.C. is a neutral ground. We do not promote protests, shutdowns, or strikes” according to this the 1776 Movement is a disruption and can legitimately be removed from the event.
