      Fairly certain my Trump “I did that” stickers come down the same day I put them up.

      Glad I sprung for the 100 pack.

        I bet anything the same bunch that were screaming “make comedy legal again!!111eleventy!” and slapping their knees at how hilarious those Biden “I did that” stickers were (even though he had quite literally nothing at all to do with gas prices OR inflation) are now squealing in agony and racing to tear those down when they see the highly accurate and very apropos Trump “I did that” stickers, though. 🤣

          Yup. They can’t handle it being thrown back at them because they are snowflakes. It’s literally always projection.

        Cut them after you put them up. Like slice them so when they go to peel them off they have to peel off a bunch of bits of sticker and not the whole thing at once.

    Good thing he’s spending hundreds of millions of dollars to replace incumbent Republicans with candidates whose only personality trait is praising trump without question…

    All this shit is going to backfire in the general, Republicans won’t vote D, they just won’t vote at all

      Maybe you should spend a trillion dollars a year on a military whose only purpose is to lower that number a few dollars per gallon

      For some reason that’s the biggest bummer of it all to me, how incredibly dumb and powerful these people are. I’m starting to think someone has to be dumb to want to exert power over another person in the first place. I’m sure it fuels their egos too.

      I wonder what its like to live like that, it sounds incredibly foreign.

        Intelligence and the drive for ruthless power aren’t necessarily connected. For these dumb MAGA Apes, ruthless power is just a toy to play with.

    Americans have had cheap fuel since forever

    They also seem to like stupid vehicles that are incredibly inefficient

    I love my little electric car. I have solar at home and have never once charged at a station and paid for it

        They implied they charge off their solar panels at home. However, there are some free charging stations out there. They’re usually slower rates and at places like libraries, but they exist.

      ‘if only those stupid voters supported our genocide gas would still be under $3’

      I’m glad the sociopaths have to suffer too.

    Luckily I can fill up my Xiaomi YU7 for $0.12 KwH. So total would be $11 if it was totally drained, which it never is.

      A Gallon is 4 Liters right? Is that the CURRENT price? That’s dirt cheap what are yall even complaining about? I just checked the current Diesel price in my country and it’s at $9.80/Gallon. I hate to agree with the Donald here, but those prices are actually peanuts.

        We are accustomed to a certain standard of subsidized gas prices in America, okay?

        Don’t get me wrong, I want to see $30/gallon of gas so that people finally start rioting against the orange doofus, or the discourse about public transportation and alternative energy sources shifts on our favor. At the same time, I don’t want to see people suffer over gas and consumables prices.

        Well it’s a bit more of a problem when pretty much no infrastructure exists for public transit or cycling for the vast majority of the US

        We in the USA prepay to a degree for gasoline. Our taxes subsidize the at pump costs to a significant portion. We get charged twice if not more for what we are considering outrageous prices in the US.

        I went from paying about 24 dollars a week to get to and from work, do errands and child care. Now I’m up to 70+ a week.

        For your country what did diesel cost last year?

        I’m really tired of everyone comparing the US to countries with completely different fuel consumption profiles.

        In 2024, 72% of all US freight is transported by trucks. For reference, the EU average was 25% road (sea was 67% with optimal fuel efficiency). Freight is also transported over much longer distances, making gas prices a larger part of operating costs. So already, high gas prices hit much harder in the USA than most places.

        Secondly, population density and existing infrastructure require personal car use. There is almost never a rail or public transport option. Despite lower prices and higher average income, fuel spending is a larger percentage of household spending in the US than the EU (especially among the poorer population).

          Yes you’re right, I agree with you that the conditions are very different because of the reasons you mentioned and the other financial factors like food and rent are probably different too. I admit my original comment comes of very ignorant rereading it now a couple hours later, sorry about that

    I mean yeah, we are sacrificing so much, but the pain is temporary, and a small price to pay for giving Iran a massive strategic boost they couldn’t have gotten any other way!
