      meanwhile all the magas i know have been buying bigger and bigger vehicles, and all the liberals i know have been buying smaller cars and bikes.

      yeah, i wonder who’s gonna feel the pain of gas prices, high or low.

      The way he’s attacking everyone and talking about doing more, I think he might have some news about his health that he hasn’t shared.

        I think he rigged 24 and is not worried because they’re just going to rig '26 too. Everyone in Congress on that side of the aisle is acting like there are no consequences for their actions these days, and most likely, there aren’t.

      It wouldn’t change a thing.

      He’s just the symptom of something bigger and way more entrenched in American society.

      You need to understand that Trump is the fall guy for Stephen Miller, Peter Thiel, and all their billionaires and NRx friends who are the ones whispering in his ear. He doesn’t come up with any of that stuff.

      The moment he falls, another one will rise.

        The thing is they haven’t decided who that “other one” will be, and they all want to be it. There is going to be a lot of bloodfighting to be king after the king dies, and it should be added that none of them hold the puzzling stranglehold over the average Republican voter as Trump has.

        So while it is of course true that Trump is too stupid to come up with most of the shit happening during his presidency, the complete control that they enjoy during it is not a given without him.

          While I do agree that Trump gone could cost the movement its charismatic leader and weaken it, I don’t agree with the fact that everyone is going to fight to become « the king ». As I said, it’s mostly a symbolic role meant as a scapegoat should anything go south with the public opinion. The true masterminds behind this, which I mentioned one comment above, do not want to appear on the front stage.

          More likely than not, they’re looking at Vance as the dunce to replace the dunce. Not sure how popular he’ll be without a massive psyops, though. Perhaps some Trump offspring has its chance there.

    He’s never in his life had to make the decision to either put gas in his car or pay his utilities / buy groceries. So not surprising that he doesn’t care.

      I’m seeing these asshats still doing it as recently as just a few days ago.

      These jagoffs were handed an economy that was called the envy of the world and kept acting like things were absolutely dire and total misery.

      They are saying some truly Orwellian level bullshit, and the sad thing is that a whole lot of RW idiots and a lot of reactionary centrists go right along with this.

      “If the do-nothing DEMON RATS had the balls to do this when they STOLE power in 2020, the gas prices would be lower by now for TRUMP to LOOK GOOD so it’s THEIR FAULT he looks bad now!” - Someone who was raised by an alcoholic narcissist and had that logic imprinted in their broken psyche

      Also, what am I, a writer for /u/BigMacHole ?

        “The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of who will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn’t even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it.”

        This quote has always rung true. They do not care how bad they are hurt, as long as someone else is hurt worse.

        Indeed. If things get bad enough where they experience a twinge of embarrassment for their stupid choices, they’ll slink away and pretend they were always teabaggers voting for a non-existent party called “The Tea Party” and never even heard of the Republicans or this PEDOnald guy…

        The playbook they did when GWB cratered the economy, bungled Katrina and Iraq was clearly a quagmire to even the stupidest of Americans at that point.

        They’ll lie in wait until another Republican that “says what they think” comes along and do it all over again.

      “Guys, were running a case study on dimentia, we can’t win.”

      When Biden said he defeated Medicare it was done. The delusional aide of the Democratic party needs a curtailment.

    Sadly we live in a world where the Red Hatted Klan is ok with him fucking children but they’ll probably lose their shit when gas hits 4$ a gallon

    Remind them constantly that come vote time they are once again voting for the price of gas and eggs. Because they are the ones that did it. Republicans did it.

    Also that Trump begged other countries to send eggs to USA.

    He never cared to lower them. Eggs, too. He doesn’t care about anyone other than who he sees in his mirror.
