This is so funny, Trump is like drill, baby, drill and who opposed that? Democrats. We see it right now in Washington State where the governor is fighting against an oil export terminal in Canada. It's in Canada! Meanwhile, the cheapest gas, I think is over $5 in Washington State. Why is that? Cap and trade. Who did this? Democrats. If you want lower gas prices, they are not your friends

Huh, that's very strange. The U.S. produced more oil during Biden's presidency. The U.S. imported less oil and exported more oil during Biden's presidency.

Also, I'm pretty sure that the current gas price of $6.85+ during Trump is way more than the $6.25 gas price high under Biden.

Gas is a bit over $5 in the worst states like California and and Washington. You can't even admit that is the Democrats doing?

Explain like I'm 5 how any Democrat policy has caused the high gas prices. Go ahead.

I've been giving examples and you people keep saying But Iran. No one said that the blocked Straight isn't increasing prices. A more robust domestic supply of energy would mitigate the effects a lot, even though the US produces more oil than it consumes and the Straight of Hormuz is locally irrelevant to US supply. Prices are higher because we are part of the world market

So all of those factors are irrelevant because they don't affect oil prices, due to the US choosing to participate in the world market? And Trump shouldn't have started a war with Iran's govt?

I support removal of the evil government of Iran and a return to democracy in Iran

And I support the removal of an evil & demonstrably corrupt regime in the United States.

Political disagreement magnified into a nebulous call for removal. Meanwhile, Tehran machine guns tens of thousands of its own citizens and nary a peep from you

Donald J Trump:

  • incited an insurrection,
  • conspired to submit fake electoral college votes to overturn a federal election,
  • has committed insider trading and market manipulation to personally enrich himself,
  • threatened US allies with invasion,
  • started trade wars and violated trade agreements with US allies,
  • started a war with another country's govt. without Congressional approval...
  • and during term 1, he had a team of people to tell him not to mow down thousands of protesters. Because he tried.

It's not a political disagreement. Most people don't want to see the US turn into a destabilized, extremist state like Iran.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say in the other part. Can you restate?

WTAF?! Gas in the Bay Area is at $6.85 now, but sure, I'll call it, "...a bit over $5." 🤦‍♂️

That is California but probably more expensive than the cheapest in other places. I am not in California, I paid five dollars last week
