    Here are the percentages of 2024 Trump voters who disapproved of him in each of these areas:

    • Gas prices: 45%

    Does that mean that the majority of Trump voters approve of Trump’s gas prices? A nation of masochists, apparently.

      Imperial media obscures the connection. I heard NPR talking about higher gas prices with ZERO mention of trump/iran. And, if they do mention it, they usually blame Iran at least implicitly but often explicitly.

      There was an article a few weeks ago where folks were interviewed at a gas station in Pennsylvania. Two of the Trump voters who was fine with the higher prices said it was an acceptable price to pay to keep the nation safe. They really thought Iran was going to attack the US, possibly with nukes.

      I have no hope of changing the minds who fervently believe in that crap

        Ofc this disinformation is central to the hegemonic narrative and widely disseminated by NPR, NYTimes, etc. Not to mention the overtly fascist media.
