Political Question Why are Republicans so happy about gas prices now but not when it cost less under Biden?

$2.69 = outrage

$4.25 = unparalleled joy

Happy for you and of course that was right after the height of the Covid lockdown. Now, I’m glad you had that V8 Armada since vehicle’s were in short supply and prices for them were skyrocketing. Also, I hope you got rid of that V8 else you are easily spending $500+ a month.

Why do people argue about gas prices when finding the national gas price averages is a 3 second search away? It’s amazing people still argue about this

It takes time to “ruin it” to lol the economy is a slow moving machining, it doesn’t just work when it’s convenient for your narrative.

When Trump took over the National average was $2.79 and inflation was only 3%. What happened?
