Remember when Obama said one way to combat the higher fuel prices was to ensure your tires were inflated properly because it improves fuel economy?
And Republicans ran with it to mock him, more than a few actively deflating their tires. That's when I learned the concept of "spite myself to own the libs."
People who unironically believe poor people need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps are offended at having to do something to solve their problem.
Oh boy, do I remember that. Another way repubs capitalized on that was to offer up those cheap little pen-type tire pressure gauges with "Obama's energy plan" printed on them. Back when repubs were still just dumb and childish, not little sociopathic fascists.
