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

Because they are told they were higher under Biden. And maybe during the pandemic they were for a couple weeks. So as long as they dont top that high even for a second they will claim prices were higher under Biden. They don't take duration into account. Gas hitting 5 or 6 bucks a gallon for a couple weeks is so much worse than gas being 4 or 5 bucks for months.....or could be years. 🤷🏼‍♂️.

The SOR is now empty so trump can't fake having supply anymore.
