If my FB feed is any indication, then yeah that's a thing. Recently the posts even include little stickers on the pumps of Biden pointing at the price with the caption "I did that".
But gas prices aren't going to be the issue, inflation is. And it is going to get ugly. Prices are rising, especially at the grocery store and people are going to look to the Administration to fix it. And if they don't, look for an absolute bloodbath come midterms that won't be based on CRT, Trans policies or any other social issue. It will be an economic issue and it will hit hard.
We all know what happened with the price of gasoline during the Trump Administration yes? Huge fracking production in the States while the Saudis kept their production up to try to drive the frackers out of business, resulting in a glut of gas and very low prices at the pump. This happened independent of anything Trump and what is happening now is independent of what Biden has done. Today‘s market with inflation is a direct result of what occurred on Trump’s watch, don’t forget the pandemic under Trumo’s watch, and what is happening would be happening with gas prices if Trump had been re-elected, but sure, blame Biden (A general comment).
Oh, I was thrilled when Biden won and kicked Mr Cancer out, but I truly think we are surrounded by FUCKING Dummies, who appear to be blind, not seeing the Democrats working their asses off to give average citizens a break, voting rights, prescription drug costs, child care, paid leave, social safety nets, and ignoring virtually all of the Congressional Republicans screaming no,
No, NOOOO!!! Wake up, these latter politicians are hostile to working class citizens.
And then there are the usual Right Wing, Big Business players with their Koolaid ads screaming that tax increase on the rich, will stall America, although they don’t say ”rich“. They want the dummies to think their sub >$100k annual income taxes will be going up, and most likely succeeding in scaring them.
As a pessimist, do you know what I think? 2022 will tell us our fate. Unless there is some kind of miracle, and the Republicans take the Congress back, followed by The Head Piece of Shit or some other vile, poisonous ignoramus Surrogate like a Green or Gaetz winning the Presidency, we are headed towards some kind of fascist, dystopian future, wrapped in the flag, pretending to be a democracy, while I continue to mull over moving to Ireland.
No I don’t have to do that, I’m almost 70, but I might be around for another 20 years. Unless there is a revolution, I can sit in my corner in relative comfort as the America I thought I knew slips away. The United States of America has/had it all, setting an incredible standard, yet we are literally watching it dissolve because of human greed, self interest, and outright stupidity, don’t forget racism and xenophobia, alive and thriving.
