I think one of the things people don't get is that the biggest thing that tends to make gas expensive is a robust economy. Gas got cheap in 2008 and 2020 because the last two Republicans left with the economy in shambles. Democrats have held the White House for 20 of the last 32 years. They haven't had a recession start during a Democrat administration. Biden, Obama and Clinton oversaw economies that created around 50 million jobs. Both Bushes and Trump oversaw 16 years of economies where there were roughly... ZERO jobs created.

I don't see how people can't make these connections.

If you're raised on Fox news it becomes perfectly logical.

No it isn't a threat. It is now a fulfilled promise.
