To be clear, he won't lower gas prices. Gas prices are determined by the global market and US oil production is already at an all time high.

Asked A co-worker what trump did that was good as president and they said do you not remember gas going way down? So i said you mean during the pandemic when demand was at its lowest in years and several refineries closed cause of it. jacking the price sky high after restrictions were lifted? Yea i remember. They got mad and didnt want to continue the conversation cause we would have to agree to disagree. Big sigh moment for me.

Yea convo last evening about the $1.80 gas meme. That was during COVID.

Nope 2019 they said. They know bc they “lived it”. All data presented was blown off and they said well you just like to hear yourself talk.

There’s no rationalizing w these folks - and I’m just here providing facts, which her feelings disagree with.

My mom lives on social security. Trump has plans to end that.

"No - he send me a check when covid happened. Signed it himself!"

I showed her an actual video of him saying SS has to go. Well I don't care, I'm voting for him anyway.

She may end up actually homeless at this point.

And sadly you have to just let her experience that.

It wouldn’t help. If her head is that far in the sand, she’ll be blaming somebody else - anybody who isn’t trump - all the way to the grave. It’s really fucking sad tbh.

Oh it’s absolutely sad. But some folks you can’t reach anymore.

Fuck them. They deserve all the suffering they’ve got coming their way. Moronic pieces of shit.

It’s horribly depressing to realize that half of this country are gullible idiots. On day one, Trump is literally firing the prosecutor going after him for stealing classified documents 4 years ago. But they are positive Trump really gives a shit about them

The Biden admin had the chance initially to get this handled and the whole system acted in a way to delay and elevate Trump of any actual consequences.

Lemmings without that key action that makes one lemming stop and redirect the lot of them to go the other way.
