if there's anything the American voter loves, it's the price of car sauce going up

1/3: Here's what wild about gas prices right now. The past two days have seen the largest increase in gas prices ($0.22/gallon) since 2005, making it one of the fastest increases ever. What's suprising about this is not only the magnitude, but the speed of the passthrough.

funny though that swing voters were incandescently furious at Biden for inflation largely caused by a global pandemic, because they imagined him pressing the "make prices go up" button. then they elected Trump who is literally doing that. getting a little chuckle out of that

MAGA diehards pivoted from "The President has a button under his desk that makes prices go down" under Biden to "Wow, the world is just so much more expensive these days. Can't be helped." under Trump reeeeeeal quick.

It is VERY annoying that Trump got the rally around the flag effect and Biden didn't despite the ongoing pandemic and economic overhang being a major thing for the first year+ of his presidency. It probably was Putin's war against Ukraine that solidified it unfortunately.
