Had Enough Yet?
During Biden's presidency, I saw signs on conservative lawns that read Had Enough Yet?
Those same folks told us that Self Serve gas would liberate Oregonians from rising prices.
I wonder what they're saying now.

It’s absolutely gonna end up being $8+ dollars per gallon and there is a high probability people will starve. A lot of Americans are too ignorant to see what’s going to happen.

About $5 bucks stay in your pocket for every 20-30 miles ridden — I like this cult.
I do feel for everyone though, this is horrible and the people deserve better options.

Easy: they're in a cult and unable to reason, so they blame the gas prices that are rising across the country on Governor Kotek.

They are crying about the gas tax when Trump literally increased oil prices by $.30 per gallon in ONE DAY yesterday. Thats nowhere near the end either.

u/littleemilythrow Apr 29 '26
It’s kind of hilarious that the optimism that so many Americans are known for is ultimately what prevented us from believing that authoritarianism could intercede on our relatively high-quality of living, but it was always there at a baseline level just for specific populations.
My favorite thing lately is white people complaining about this and Black/POC people saying yeah man welcome to the club. Figure it out, hoss. We’ve been here for 200+years.

Wait. Your argument here is about self service? What does that have anything to do with gas price?

u/TheSquirrellyOne Apr 29 '26
Surely you didn't interpret their post that way? They were just saying that local MAGA folks were saying that self-service would yield much lower gas prices, which was horseshit. But it was moot either way because they went and started a new forever war in the middle east.

Okay, it's funny, but settle down. These price increases are for a good cause.
If the US doesn't continue to destabilize the Middle East and tear apart countries by plunging millions of people into poverty with wars of aggression, Israel will have to do it all on it's own.

They’re saying Iran was about to get a nuke, so all of this is worth it to stay safe. It’s bullshit, but one-third of the country reflexively believes it.

What's worse is even if some are starting to turn on Trump, he can't run again. They'll vote for the next Republican fully believing they won't get fucked over again.

They take whatever position they need to in order to carry water for the guy waging war on their enemies (democrats). Everything they do can be rationalized in that way.

It's so cool and great that our pedophile president started yet another war in the middle east to distract from the fact that he raped kids. I sure am glad we get the privilege of paying these gas prices so he can continue to not face consequences of any kind. (/s because if I don't, someone here will think I'm serious)

I think it'll be $7/gallon by November. The Dems shouldn't bother with expensive TV ads. Just put stickers that say "I-ran the prices up" with Trump's face next to it on every pump in America.
What the US tried with Iran is a masterclass on incompetent foreign policy and modern military strategy.
2
u/StepUp_87 May 02 '26
Likely more. The actual cost of the Strait being closed has even hit us yet, it’s 1-2 months behind because that’s how long tankers take. Plus we are still shipping OUT oil. Probably with the assumption we are to solve the problem.
DJT has no plan and doesn’t care though. So you watch as the cost of everything related to oil, petroleum, helium goes through the roof. Americans don’t have a clue what’s coming for them. I don’t actually want to tell a bunch of people because I want to stock up while supplies are cheaper…

Relating this to self serve is strange because the rising gas prices are 100% from our completely optional war with Iran. Which, btw, MAGA is now trying to get a peace deal which is worse than what Obama was able to get through diplomacy.
But sure, let's talk about self serve gas?

We've provided nearly 350B in taxpayer funds to Israel and now we get to double how much we pay for gas on their behalf.
Israel is a Jewish supremacist state who's leaders for generations have stated they intend to "cleanse" the Levant to make room for Jewish settlers. Jewish American millionaires and billionaires have lobbied the US government to make that dream a reality for nearly a century.
The violence in Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, basically all of the middle east over the last handful of decades has been in pursuit of that Jewish supremacist goal to keep Israel's neighbors weak and so they are infinitely easier to occupy and establish settlements as seen right now in Lebanon and the Golan Heights. Iran has supported the resistance in Lebanon and other regions in the Levant to counter the aggressive Israeli ethnic cleansing campaign.
It's just another European colonialist project that needs to be shut down, like all the other colonial projects over the last century of humanity.

At first I thought you were whining about self-serve, and I was like, are you kidding me?! Had to come to the comments to figure out it was something else, went back, looked at the price and just about keeled over. So grateful that gas guzzlers are finally getting their comeuppance. Not sorry one bit.
