You could show the same graph and say ”inflation without covid” and ”inflation with covid” and the MAGA cult would blame Biden. Except Biden didn’t create covid the way Trump created this war.
Last week we asked America: "Are you okay?"
7.69% said: "I'm completely consumed by 'The Noise.'"
Naming it is the first step to turning the volume down.

Adam, honey, no one should support a conservative republican just because you don't trust Trump. We already feel the same way. Be gone from here. You are unwanted until you shed your disgusting ideology and become a progressive. And then we still don't need you to explain; we already know.
This is what happens when a political party spends the first decade of the century telling their moron voters that they shouldn’t trust experts or educated people. MAGA was the least surprising thing the GOP could have produced.
The RW propaganda machinery narrative is gonna be this. "Trump saved you from having an Iranian nuclear bomb dropped on your head - so how could you complain about gas prices(!!), and now those prices are coming down like no one's ever seen before!!"
Watch.
MAGA fans have a two week time horizon. It goes in both directions, past and future. They forget that gas was cheap and the Strait of Hormuz was open before Trump's war. Now Trump will claim he brought gas prices way down.
Yes, and they get there by way of the RW propaganda machinery, which feeds them these narratives 24/7. This is why MAGA pols don't feel the need to govern successfully. RW propaganda will just create a reality for them and push it down. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. They can never lose.
Great! And it only took $300 billion to pay, loss of our soldiers and bases, death of innocent people (incl. school children), and every shred of dignity lost, to save a drop of gas less than one ago.
MAGA math!
Pretty simple for me, I know exactly what gas cost for me pre war of choice. I'll sit back and wait until prices drop back to that level, if they ever do.
I heard China released some of their oil reserves & that’s really what started helping move prices. It wasn’t due to Trump because none of us really believe he & Bibi are going to maintain any sort of “peace”. He’s going to let kushners profit in rebuilding Iran…
Hmm ... two points:
1. Many former MAGAts are wising-up
2. Many apathetic people are waking-up
Fact: More did not vote than did for either candidate.
In both cases it's because this criminal regime has bitten them in the ass 😜
It entirely depends on the crimes they commit to steal the elections.
I don't know, I just voted in a very red state and they are not acting like they are wising up. I'm going to place my hope on the recently apathetic people who figured out how to care.
The worst is yet to come. The Strait oil that the market assumes is on its way is highly unlikely to arrive in time to ward off tank bottoms in many economies. Future financial expectations don't move molecules.
When Trump won the election I bought $300 worth of coffee for 14.54 a bag. That same coffee is going for 31.99 for two less ounces. I don't see anybody working on that.
MAGA always cites low gas prices during Trump's first term, too. But they neglect to acknowledge they were the result of the extremely reduced demand during the Covid pandemic that was largely mishandled by Trump.
Post on Facebook praised Trump for "plunging" oil prices. I pointed out that without Trump oil prices wouldn't need to plunge.
Not sure if the point got through.
So, it wasn't about Iran having a potential nuke, it always was about grifting We the People over gas......the oil barons made a shitload of cash,didn't they.
Perfect cartoon.
That shows the problem with having national "news" channels that are 100% propaganda all the time. People are able to get the news that makes them feel good instead of telling the truth.
I paid $2.57 a gallon for regular unleaded in February. We usually have the lowest prices in Florida. But, until gas prices come down to that level or lower, this is NOT a win. I suspect the government will refill the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve first.
The record fast drawdown in the strategic reserves have accelerated the drop. We’re good as long as tragedy doesn’t strike.
Funny how MAGA doesn’t give a damn about soaring grocery costs.
Guess the brain washing outlets aren’t harping on that
