Gas prices are how voters measure the success of the economy. The Iran war is causing rising gas prices, and battleground district Republicans have mostly gone silent.

    Because Republicans believe in nothing and will blame anything and anyone but themselves for the problems they create.

    And they accuse other people of being deranged about Trump…

      Well gas prices wouldn’t have gone up if Trump didn’t have to fix bidens fuck ups is probably what they think. Not that I mean to accuse them of thinking at all.

        His rationale was that Biden didn’t get enough drilling going, and if we had only drilled enough then we wouldn’t even care one way or another about the persian gulf.

    It’s such a great topic because you can bring it up in every kind of conversation without seeming like you have a political agenda, even If you do.

    They should shift back and forth daily between the trump/epstein files and the Iran war. That’ll throw everyone off kilter. Pretty soon we’ll all be collectively yelling…“Release the Oil!”.

    In my area, it was $2.79 on the day Trump started bombing. It’s bouncing between $4.29-4.59 now.

      Yeah, but if you listen to some galaxy-brained bullshit from the likes of Donvict’s pals (Kevin Hassett) you’ll soon be enlightened into understanding how this is all really because of the absolutely no-good bad economy that poor widdle donnie was handed. Because something something Biden Bad. Waste, fraud and abuse! Waste, fraud and abuse! Also, illegal immigrants!

      Also, Obama was President while black. And can you just imagine if either of those women that laughed weird were allowed into office? {shudder!} American would probably never recover.

      Anyway, it’s going to take something like 10 consecutive terms from Donvict to fix all the horribleness from Democrats…

    So strange because these chuds wouldn’t stop yapping and putting Biden “I did that!” stickers on the gas pumps when gas prices rose a little post Ukraine war.

    Now they’re angrily ripping off the Trump “I did that!” stickers and tying themselves in knots trying to rationalize their way out of the shitshow we’re in now.
