Why does the obvious truth hurt the GOPers?

Because they can’t stand being wrong!

I was talking with fellow driver who works for the same company, earlier this evening. We talked for awhile. Then he brought up fuel prices and how Biden is responsible for the hike in the price of oil. I said that we have seen prices high for a long time and it’s not Biden who told Putin to invade Ukraine. He didn’t want to hear that. He told me when ever a Democrat president is in office prices have always gone up, but mentioned Trump had prices at the lowest in 30 years. I said no, if that were true we wold only see prices in in $80 range for a barrel of oil. I continue to say when Obama was in office oil was down around $50 to $ 60 a barrel, and jump to the $80 to $90 range when Trump was in office. And now it’s around $110. That’s the oil companies jacking up prices. I said this too, that after COVID, everyone started using gas again so there is another reason, high demands! So, in the end, he didn’t have anymore to say and we hung up.

I wish they could see the truth and quit making up shit as they! But that is what the GOPer Trumpsters do! Lie and lie some more!

little vacation or parental leave, high college tuition, etc etc.

Oligarchs ripping us off all the time in various ways.

And people are going to focus on the cost of gas.

It help's Ukraine. It makes everyone look at alternatives a little harder.
