That's the case for a lot of protests... remember Occupy Wall Street?

Although, in this case, I'm not sure it really turned anyone against them - I think most of the country was against them before they even started, especially in the cities. I'm not even sure if you'd asked most of the convoy people "do you actually think doing this will convince anyone you're right" that they would have said "yes". Although I'm sure there were some who were actually that stupid and delusional given that the level of rationality and intellect among those people was, I assume, pretty low.
