This weekend we expect a truckers rebelion, veteran bikers march on DC, and countermeasures by the Department of Homeland Security.
All of it begins to eeerily resemble events of the Bonus Army (1932) during the Great Depression.

[1] Bonus March on Washington, DC: 1932
In 1932, unemployed veterans marched on Washington, DC demanding payment of a bonus due in the future. The "bonus marchers" were routed by the military on orders of President Hoover. The idea of World War I veterans who had come home as heroes being confronted by the army was a national shock and doomed whatever hope Hoover had for reelection.
