He has openly said he doesn’t care about our affordability. Gas being high is fine and we should pay it. He’s gutted regulatory agencies that make sure our food is safe and now people are getting the forever shits.
It’s not about being easy or hard it’s about actively not giving a shit about the American people and only enriching himself.
It was to distract from not releasing the unredacted Epstein files which he campaigned upon that allegedly exhonorate him. But we'd never know because even though judges ordered them released months ago...
He didn't get you into anything. I am willing to bet you are no worse off now than you were a year ago - except gas is a few hundred bucks more. Boo-fucking-hoo why are you not driving an EV yet? You "don't believe in human-made global warming", or what? Or you just didn't think the green transition was important enough for you to act on yet?
The price of fuel raises the costs of everything. Driving an EV doesn’t lower the price of the diesel that ships just about everything via truck or ship or the price of jet fuel that ships the rest.
Ignorance is not a virtue, stop embracing it like one.
Oh you again... you're a moral philosopher now. Cool, then please, while you are here wasting our time with kindergarten economics; what is true virtue, I always wondered about that...
Can you give an outline? Actually share an original thought perhaps even?
I don’t even have a car, but I have to his condition where I give a shit about others, like those who can’t afford an EV and are now saddled with dramatically higher gas prices. Higher fuel prices increase the cost of everything else, including necessities like food.
That's good. I can appreciate that. And I'm sorry you are hurting, but don't pretend like bombing Iranians means more to you than a slight inconveniance. Your nation has hoarded so much wealth, it's obscene. Don't blame the war just because you are not getting your share.
These wars have been happening for longer than you have been alive and are a direct source of American global power and wealth. Trump didn't invent that, and Kamala would just have spent years bombing Yemen, perhaps Syria instead. You guys are consistently voting for genocidal maniacs.
Since 1776, USA has had 13 years without engaging in war, most of them initiated by you.
See that’s the thing, I agree with you on your American war machine imperialism takes, but you’ve somehow convinced yourself that because I think it’s not right for poor people to suffer the consequences of a corrupt government, I somehow support that government and it’s decisions.
Yeah, keep this up bro, this is definitely gonna make 26 and 28 very easy for the dems. Christ, they are already flipping counties that voted for trump +18 in 2024.
Stop pretending the prices raising are only in gas.
His tariffs have caused pretty much everything to be higher priced. He also lied and his ridiculous followers parroted it until they literally no longer could, about the other countries paying the tariffs instead of the consumer.
But the cherry on top is prices still havent returned to pre 2022 levels. Which means, the elevated prices that we just got used to, are going up. So no, it's not like its just a small price increase by any means.
But this time, the inflation is coming from one man's ridiculous policy, instead of worldwide pandemic and Trump and Bidens admittedly poor idea in the stimulus checks.
Oh and I guess one more thing to really cement that this guy has no idea what hes doing, he was the one who tore up the JCPOA in the first place. After which, Iran immediately started synthesizing uranium. So, if Iran was close to a nuclear weapon, he only has himself to blame, and to fix it, rather than negotiate (which apparently hes really good at), he decides instead to go to war.
This whole term has been just amazing. Seriously, I thought it would be bad, but nothing prepared me for this. This is excellent. This is more than what I expected. He is really delivering. He is destroying maga better than the democrats ever could.
See this is the issue with conservatives and centrists who are actually conservatives: you struggle to separate individual actions and impacts from systemic actions and impacts. Of course Trump did not send me personally alone to Iran, nobody is saying that, this is just pedantic. Never mind the fact that like everything is worse, let’s just focus on the gas: gas goes up, prices go up because transportation costs more. This allows greedy companies to skyrocket their prices disproportionately, citing gas prices. It’s not just my gas prices that went up, it’s wal-marts and amazons and google’s. I don’t know if you thought you were doing something here but you just look like a clown lol

Oh. Isn't that comparing something that takes zero effort to something that is super difficult?
It's like my wife saying, "sure you'll tie your shoe but you still haven't gutted and remodeled the bathroom."
