Conservatives are brainwashed into individualism, the idea is that you just ignore anything until it affects you. Simplistic view of the world pushed by Reagan to accept billionaires getting massive tax cuts. He lowered them 4 times and created all of our debt problems from thin air.

Yes, because goverment spending & waste isn't the problem 🙄 How much of your taxes went to NGO's who donated a $1.5b to a worthless candidate? Tax cuts aren't the problem. Its brainwashed people who trust any government programs and campaign on giveaways

You accidentally brought up a good point. When the rights in charge they defund a lot of government programs. It doesn’t help our debt because they just filter the money to the rich but a broken government program does allow them to blame government for not working.. so next time they cut more.

Everyone in this room is now dumber for listening. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. 😔 Show me tax returns where you paid more under R's tax policies over D's, and I'll show you higher gas payments, lower take-home, and lower dollar value/spending power under D's reign.

We were under Donald trumps tax policies from 2017 till now. I don’t remember the difference between obamas tax policies and trumps and I definitely don’t remember the take home pay differences.

Average national gas price in July 2024 was $3.50. Average national gas price in July 2025 is $3.17. Inflation on $3.50 on one year is approximately $0.10. That means gas is about $0.23 cents cheaper per gallon this year.

However, gas prices aren’t determined by Presidents, they are determined by supply and demand. Last year, quarter 2 gross domestic product was +3.0%. This year quarter 2 is only +2.6%. Buy less shit, transport less shit, drive to work less to make shit = cheaper gas.

Dont pretend the extra govt spending, open boarders, climate hoaxes, and all other policies saved the average Joe squat. We all got bent over with inflation, higher gas, groceries, property taxes, and, in the end, massive sales tax on goods. That's how Dems pay for shit, tax on the poor.

I think I mostly agree. The democrats suck. The republicans really suck. It sounds like you’re on the red baseball team. So you really suck.

As a guy who has lived in the Deep South my whole life, I think with the increased ice funding, the ski masks, the kidnapping, the ar15’s etc.. there will probably be militias formed. It’s the tranny Alex jones masturbates thinking about. No due process. Alligator camps. Etc.

Are you sure you’re not a bot? If feels like I’m talking to a bot that’s been programmed to sound like Donald Trump. 😆

You act like you're a brilliant economist. Fact is the price we pay is impacted by the clowns @ the Exec. branch. When they reduce obstacles, the pipelines run. 2 years into both terms = 2018, average $2.17 gal, 2022 was $3.76. That's a 75% increase term-to-term after 2 years in office.

There are many other factors involved. Inflation from 2018 to 2022 alone was almost 17%. I’ve listened to several people who work in oil interviewed and they all say the same thing. There’s big stacks of signed off contracts to drill on the desks but they only drill when they need oil.

Fuel needs are determined by the market. Really cheap gas usually means a shitty economy (see Covid).

Yes that's the playbook. Has, again, started with Reagan and continued every since. Fox News and Murdoch are the common element after Nixon, and was created to prevent a Nixon from having to resign in the future. Their entire goal is to propagandize the masses into hating themselves enough to vote R
