Interesting result was that the BBB (Farmer-Citizen-Movement) became the most popular political party after. So most of the country voted for the farmers and against the current cabinet.
Now the Dutch government has fallen and there’s new elections coming. They might become the biggest party.
The question remains… Can a party like BBB be trusted?
It all feels like one big setup: in more countries all at the same time. Or maybe my trust just has gone to zero in the last few years :)
Totally. And I don’t have much trust in any politician anymore. Power corrupts and all that.
But it gave me hope, seeing the movement gain traction with all the upside down flags. It truly felt like a bottom-up resistance movement.
Agree, about the hope, but most of the people are too blind to see it might all be just one big puppet-show.
We need leaders who set an example: be honest and open. Now it’s all based on lies and ego. This trickles down to society… People are too blindly following leaders nowadays.
I think that movements like this are so important , because the greatest thing that they achieve is that they make people feel like they are not alone in their thinking.
Absolutely. The upside down flag was a great symbol: It’s what ships do to signal emergency. And it was everywhere along the highways that all run through farmland.
Lots more people than farmers could and did get behind it.
Didn't know about the upside down flag , was it the Dutch flag or something ?
Yes. This was everywhere: 
And today a politician that was so critical during the lockdowns that they wanted to get rid of him, announced that he’s gonna run with his own new party.
His polls were instantly off the charts.
Things are changing. I have hope
🙏
