And the flip in narrative was as close to immediate as it possibly gets, based on my experience.
For months, the narrative in part of my family was “eggs is the only thing we could still afford to eat and now they made that unaffordable, too”.
Trump gets into office, part of his messaging was lower prices like day one, yet the eggs continue getting more expensive. And suddenly family is well-versed in supply chain issues, supply and demand, bird flu culling, and so on.
A year later, though, they literally will not talk about anything that’s going on now if there’s even a remotely political slant to it (ex: price of gas, new round of layoffs locally). Their current narrative has become “I don’t keep up with the news no more. I haven’t been on Facebook in months. I haven’t heard about that. I ain’t been in to town in awhile to see the prices.”
Taking the Mike Johnson approach
Every fucking time
So people won’t forget who fucked them up.
Doesn’t matter. They have no intention of a fair race.
They’ll find a way to blame it on Obama
How dare he? After causing black death AND the biblical flood, he’s messing with fuel?
I can’t believe Biden would do such a thing
Thanks Obama!
Run this quote alongside his quote where he prioritizes war over healthcare, education, etc. on loop, nonstop until 2030. Never let anyone forget that Trump wants to kill YOU. Yes, YOU 🫵
And everyone you know. And a vast majority of the people you don’t know.
He most probably has his dirty hands on Venezuelas oil… high oil prices are a feature, not a bug.
Gotta make profits first, then tank the market so the billionaires can buy back in the game to make even more.
That’s surprising. Based on his previous behavior, I thought his most likely course of action would be to guarantee that gas prices would go down, and then to declare that gas prices had gone down, even though anyone could easily see that they went up.
Why not both? With insider trading profit each way.
At this rate gas prices will rise until we remove dependency from oil from humanity. It’s looking like a really good alternative right now. The short-term will be awful
So glad I bought a pre-owned HEV back in 2022. Can’t imagine what the price for it would’ve been if I tried to switch now.
Too bad Toyota’s CEO turned into a MAGA ball-licker.
Was it due to Sleepy Joe Biden?
Or maybe “Thanks, Obama!”
Wait, ‘Hillary’s emails!’
‘Hunter’s laptop?’
Look, I’m trying REALLY hard here. Who has been the President? With control of the House of Reps and Senate?
Hunter’s Hog
It was Hillary’s buttery males.
“It could be, or the same, or maybe a little bit higher, but it should be around the same,”
Trump told Fox News when asked whether the cost of oil and gas would be lower by the fall.
Colbert has the bit where he tells Bartiromo that, and her eyes are just perfect.
so… bullshitting as usual.
He’s just daring us to remove him.
If it’s come to the point where even he’s admitting that they’ll “remain high”, then we can probably expect them to double or something.
