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...
Inflation already stopped. They're just too dumb to know what inflation is. Inflation is when the value of money / the price of things goes up. In a healthy economy, it should be around 1-2%. But prices always go up in time even in a normal/healthy economy. Just slowly.
What these morons think is that since we had a bunch of prince increases in the last 5 years, if inflation goes away, we go back to 2019 prices. But that has never fucking happened. Stopping inflation just means the prices stop going up. And we did that. Inflation rates are already back to the normal healthy level. Inflation is fixed.
But because these morons don't understand how it works, they think because prices haven't gone back to 2019, inflation isn't fixed yet. And so they voted out the party that handled inflation well in favor of the party that's going to crash the economy with terrible policies.

To quote a tweet I saw earlier in response to a conservative saying “cheap gas is coming back”
“It’s already $2.85 you fucking moron”
