Remember You Voted Based On The Price Of Gas

1. K&R

[Justice matters.]

2. And the price of gas reached the sky once the GQP you voted for...

... got to work in January 2023.

Doubled, then Tripled, because they're for sinking the government into a bathtub.

Yep. They don't care about you at all, at all, at all.

[Probatim]

3. You are astounded "free market" principles did what you expected them to do.

So you voted based on the price of gas.

[IronLionZion]

4. Oil companies won't magically reopen their refineries when GOP takes office

Russia isn't going to reopen the pipelines to Europe. So gas prices will still be high for a while as everything else also goes to shit.

Because Biden has created too many jobs and raised wages causing workers to get too uppity and unionize. GOP wants workers to be desperate and fearful and remember our place in society.

11. Yes they will. That is how they keep the economic myth going. It happened to Obama too.

Wait for it.

[IronLionZion]

21. It's global in nature

they would need a lot of countries to conspire just to help one American political party. It seems like a stretch.

[yardwork]

5. It's so ridiculous anyway - the Republicans can't fix inflation.

The whole narrative that Republicans are better with the economy is false. I fear that Democrats have foolishly ceded that point. Plenty of evidence shows that the economy is BETTER under Democrats.

[TomCADem]

16. They can by being Russian/Saudi puppets!

Watch Russia and Saudi Arabia increase production following the first impeachment of Biden to reward their Republican puppets for destabilizing the US.

[IronLionZion]

22. Their solution to everything is tax cuts and deregulation

which has worked out disastrously so far. They'll use inflation as the excuse to cut all sorts of benefits since "nobody wants to work anymore".

6. K&R n/t

[Fritz Walter]

7. Or "what about her emails?!?"

Yes. Some MAGAts still bring that non-issue up.

[republianmushroom]

8. I like it

10. Using an online calculator, gas is $6.13 a gallon here on

the south island of New Zealand.

[heckles65]

12. $6.13 a gallon in New Zealand?

Hey I know where gasoline is 61 cents a gallon!

-Venezuela.-

Of course, you have to take the shitshow that is the rest of that country's economy.

[calimary]

13. OUCH. Myopia wins. Sadly enough.

Objective facts vs the witch doctors. Unfortunately, it feels as though the witch doctors are winning.

We should have aborted Pox Noise when we had the chance. But that horse is out of the barn - and all the way down the road into the next county.

[markodochartaigh]

14. Oil prices

started going up even before Russia invaded Ukraine. Obviously the Saudis and Emiratis not even taking President Biden's calls back in April were a sign that they want to make trouble for Democrats.
And more than half of price increases are due to corporate profiteering, non-financial corporate profits are at record levels.

I worry that our oiligarchs, and oligarchs will learn that whenever they feel that their Republican puppets are in political danger, all that they need to do is crank up inflation and the Democrats will be defeated.

[TomCADem]

15. The Real Issue is That Republicans Will Make Us More Vulnerable...

…because while Russia and Saudi Arabia will increase oil production to reward Republicans for opposing Ukraine, this will encourage future manipulation of US elections by such powers.

In addition, Republicans will oppose climate change and renewable energy initiatives, which will make the US more dependent in the future. So, while Republicans get rewarded for being Putin’s puppet, the US and the world suffers.

[Jskudris55]

17. The GOP won't be able to pass anything.

As long as Biden is president to veto any of their proposals, they won’t be able to take away anything. All they’ll do is cause gridlock as usual.

[question everything]

18. Sadly, the above items are abstract now for most, while price of gas, eggs and

other items are real now. This is what we refer to as "kitchen table" and we , Democrats, have too often talked about ideas and not addressed "kitchen table" issues.

[childfreebychoice]

19. Thank you. None of my Dem friends are talking about

The good things Biden and dems have done. 5. for eggs, 30. for piece of beef are here and issues. Sadly, as prev poster stated, SA, and Russia will reward rethugs by upping oil production, dropping oil prices, and now that grocers see that in spite of high food prices, ppl still buy, food prices will stay high

[Martin Eden]

20. Also remember that once our democracy is gone

You can't make up for it in the next "election" because your vote won't matter then.

And did you REALLY **think** Republicans would do anything to stop price gouging by the corporations that finance their political careers?

[Initech]

23. And also quit watching Hannity, Carlson, Alex Jones, etc. That shit is bad for you.

Fox News is very actively and openly steering this country towards a religious fascist authoritarian state. Shit, CPAC held their convention in a nation that embraces those ideals because of it.

[Traildogbob]

24. Preach

When Social Security is gone, Medicare has been privatized (50 percent there now) it does not matter if gas is $1.00 a gallon. You will NOT have money for it. When you realize it, you no longer have any voting rights, you will not be able to reverse it. Period!!!. How many people buy their bullets to shoot libs, depend on SS checks to be able to afford them now. There goes your Freedumbs.

[Sogo]

25. I love this meme.

And I'm sharing it!!!

[OneCrazyDiamond]

26. Inflation is managed by The Federal Reserve.

The Fed is headed by Jerome Powell, who is a Republican elevated to chairman by Drump.

None of this is our fault. We should just move to decarbonising our economy and let the legacy fuels rise. Instead of half in half out.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

27. If only we could get this in front of every American!

[inthewind21]

28. It IS in front of

every American. If only we could get them to engage their damn brains and think for themselves and not have to be spoon fed ALL their information.

[betsuni]

31. +1

[I_UndergroundPanther]

29. Some people

Get off on violence,abuse,anger,dominating, stealing,lying ,causing death and suffering

But they inhibit it..because they fear getting caught and exposed.

They just want to get away with it.

Because it pleases them to see misery and death of others an unconscious sexual urge.

They resent being told they are the problem because they think what they want is ok for them but not for you.
Superiority and victimhood are the games they play based on getting away with it.

It comes down to disgusting people getting off sexually by depriving,hurting gaslighting and causing the suffering of others.

The so called strong man gives them a kind of excuse and permission to act out, get off on thier little power trips and abuse and make other people suffer.


I was just doing what I was told is the lie and excuse of following a psychopath strong man does for them. It gives them cover to get off on others suffering without facing consequences for thier choices.


Just my 2¢

32. uh, not me, I sure as hell didn't base my vote on the price of gasl ffs n/t

[AdamGG]

33. The current inflation is a global phenomenon

Economies have gone back to near full employment after COVID and global petroleum prices have increased because of necessary boycotts of a major supplier. How is it that Republicans think Joe Biden is causing inflation in Australia or Japan?

Even though it makes no sense, their blaming him is still like the 200th least rational belief that they espouse.

[drray23]

34. Part of being a republican

is being very insular to the point of xenophobia. They cannot fathom that there is a world out there besides the United States. So, they view everything from a fiercely nationalistic lens and hence think Biden is responsible for everything, no matter what else happens in the world.

[burrowowl]

35. Excellent!

[The_Casual_Observer]

36. Price of gas comes and goes. Republican bullshit stays forever.

[SouthernDem4ever]

37. Ironic that voting in repuglicans guarantees the oil companies control over the economy

that's how stupid people really are.

[twodogsbarking]

38. That should be on billboards across the nation. Add Saudi Arabia to it.
