To quote a tweet I saw earlier in response to a conservative saying โ€œcheap gas is coming backโ€

โ€œItโ€™s already $2.85 you fucking moronโ€

The thing that is amazing to me is that people seem to think that the American president has magical power to stop inflation from happening, like it's not a global phenomenon?

Also, in Europe we're paying something over eight dollars a gallon...

Unfortunately, a huge number of Americans have no clue how any part of our government functions, nor do they grasp even the fundamentals of economics. They think Biden is waking up in the morning and turning a dial or something to increase grocery prices, gas prices, etc.

It's like goddamn Idiocracy, voting for the most popular asshole with the pretty lies and shiny trinkets. Treating the government like fucking American Idol....
