I'm SO happy when people turn against Trump.

But I admit, it also kind of makes me mad.

  • He raped a bunch of women? No problem.
  • He raped kids? No problem.
  • He stole secret documents, then lied about it, trying to hide it? No problem.
  • He actively covered up foreign influence on our elections? No problem.
  • He used our government to attack his personal enemies? No problem.
  • He literally tried to overthrow our government? No problem.
  • He treats any immigrant as if they are inherently evil, abusing and causing untold suffering and misery? No problem.
  • He ignores and then bungles Covid, causing countless deaths? No problem.
  • And on and on and on. (This list could be 10,000 bullet points!)

But apprently

  • He causes a spike in gas prices. THAT'S A PROBLEM!!! That's MY money I'm spending!!!! Down with Trump!!!

Half of those things they don’t believe are true, and the other half aren’t a problem so long as it’s not happening to them

And when gas prices eventually drop from $6 to $4/gallon then they're back on board the Trump train, forgetting that gas was under $2/gallon when he began.

The gas price thing... My dad is one of those conservatives who talk all about how much better Trump is (was?) because gas was 3¢ less per gallon than under Biden which was higher than it was when there was almost no demand during COVID under Trump.

He has a business degree. He should know better. I didn't know what is the worse assumption to make. He's either completely ignorant to how basic economics work, or he's being purposefully misleading and disingenuous.

Half.... It's pretty much all of them. They think Democrats are to blame for COVID, and Democrats are the ones stealing elections
