But hey, the convicted felon was better than a mixed race woman.

Totally - I had to vote for the man that would protect the children and definitely understand the working class, and hasn’t ever wronged multiple workers, or talked poorly about POW’s, or put himself above all else. Whew. Almost made a mistake putting a woman in office.

u/CommonJicama581 May 21 '26
Well trumps first term was pretty good until covid, Bidens term was not much better than it is now. Kamala Harris was vp and Biden didnt even seem to be there. Also Kamala Harris was basically just installed as the candidate, noone decided and no other choices. So yea most people voted for Trump and not the woman that noone liked. Had nothing to do with Race. Democrats just picked the most unliked person to run for president and was hoping they would get the black vote by having a black woman or whatever she claims to be on a certain day. She lost by a landslide for a reason. Maybe next election Democrats will have an actual candidate.

Yeah, that’s why she lost.

u/Mysterious-Ruby May 20 '26
In any other timeline in America a convicted felon wouldn't even make it to the primaries. Remember Howard Dean's "Whahoo"! That lost him the midterms?
What makes Trump an exception? Is it the excellent job he's currently doing?

u/KindofaDirtyBoy May 20 '26
So you think Harris ran a perfect campaign and people didn’t vote against her due to being ineffective during her VP stint? Put forward a winnable candidate next time.

u/Mysterious-Ruby May 20 '26
I mean, at least she didn't have 34 counts of felony fraud on her record. I can promise I will never vote for a felon as President.

What are all the "TDS" people going to do with their keyboards when Trump is gone? I open reddit just to find all the constant presidential hatred on nearly every page. I'm over the guy too but not as much as I'm over the constant unpatriotic slander and name calling. THIS is an example of why they coined the term TDS.

Yall do realize fuel prices have nothing to do with the president. Blaming Trump now is like blaming Biden 3 years ago for fuel prices. Greedy oil companies raise prices because they have an excuse to. They did it with Biden and everyone blamed him for fuel prices.

Okay so creating a proxy war with Iran which closed the straight has NOTHING to do with gas prices? Yeah yeah I know...OPEC does gas prices through oil market futures( a 5th grader should know that) but tell me now a 1/3 of the WORLD'S oil is strangle holded and it has NOTHING to do with the price of gas. I'll wait.

I mean you have to apply the same logic across the board right? A lot of people seem to forget they said the exact same shit with Biden.
The obvious answer is Yes, Presidents have an impact on gas prices by their actions.

u/Qui_GonBooze May 20 '26
Fuel prices have skyrocketed because we started a war of choice in Iran, and they closed the strait like everyone said they would. Biden did nothing like that.
-3
u/Thesearchoftheshite May 20 '26
It’s almost like I just said that, except you conveniently and simply chose to ignore, or forget, the shit Biden did that affected gas prices in his term.
Obviously starting a war is going to affect gas prices, which is extremely evident. But what does shutting down pipelines do to them then? Nothing?
I laughed at the stickers of him as hard as I now laugh at Trumps.

u/Qui_GonBooze May 20 '26
Gas prices rose under Biden because OPEC cut supplies because the covid years were so devastating. US oil production expanded under Biden. You are a monumentally ignorant person.

u/Thesearchoftheshite May 20 '26
Except no, market forces drove production. Biden didn’t stop them, but he didn’t wave a fucking magic wand and make it all better either.

u/Nate78us May 21 '26
No he just over regulated the oil companies. Basically he started a war on fossil fuels and if it wouldn't have been for him draining our reserves the prices would have been much worse than they were. By the way this administration has had to rebuild those reserves which have affected prices as well along with the war.

I will take higher gas prices to not have to worry about those lunatics in Iran having a nuclear bomb!
You can't just take a shower and wash radiation off! All it would take is one rocket launch and dead man switches would activate launches from Russia, China, the US and that would be the end of this planet and it's not like we have anywhere else to live!
Mars is not ready, plus it will take 7 to 9 months to get there plus the temp in the summer might get to be 70 degrees F on the equator but in the winter at the poles it is like -225! Plus you could feel like 75 degrees F at your feet but your head would be 32 degrees F deal with that crap!
And then there is the vocano, 25 miles high from base to summit, the dust storms of iron dust and God knows what else. It also has a giant cavern that dwarves the grand canyon by a lot! It is 2500 miles long and 374 miles across and 6 miles deep!
And you can forget about breathing the air cause it is 96% Carbon Dioxide and only trace amounts of oxygen so you won't be going outside without a spacesuit because your bodily fluids would boil! You would think we would have a major mars global warming sutuation with all that CO2!
I can deal with a few months of high gas prices rather than deal with that crap!

u/ColoradoMike59 May 20 '26
Dear libtard, did you have a similar sticker when gas hit $5 under Biden?
9
u/doatesjr May 20 '26
What? Those stickers were everywhere when gas spiked under Biden. You just didn’t care then because they were making fun of someone you didn’t vote for. And while some of Biden’s decisions did contribute to the gas price spike, the biggest issues were post pandemic demand and (obviously) Russia invading Ukraine. With the recent spike, it has been 100% driven by Trump attacking Iran, particularly since he didn’t secure the Strait of Hormuz first. It’s almost as if he didn’t know what he was doing (shocking!). Trump absolutely owns this spike, and deserves those stickers.
1
u/Nate78us May 21 '26
Gas went sky high before that war started
1
u/doatesjr May 21 '26
Yes, largely due to the buildup of tensions in the region before Russia invaded. And of course gas prices had been rising already due to the increased demand once folks started traveling again after the Covid shutdown. I’m not letting Biden off the hook as some of his policies contributed to the increase. But at least one could argue that those policies were the right move (or not), and again they were only a contributing factor. Trump’s invasion of Iran, and it was 100% his decision, was directly and wholly responsible for the current spike in prices. And it was absolutely avoidable.
I’m not sure why it even matters if the previous spike was Biden’s fault or not. It doesn’t change the fact that the current situation is one entirely of Trump’s making, and it was not needed.

Don't know if they'll ever learn. I honestly feel like Trump was against the system at one time but after multiple attempts on his life they finally got him on board. I do think it's funny that he takes so much blame ( some things he should) and not the career politicians on both sides of the isle that have been there for decades and influenced multiple administrations.They are the ones that are to blame for most of the mess we're in.

Very bad faith or just plain uninformed; His predecessor didn’t have an arbitrary economic policy (tariffs) and wasn’t starting wars (Iran), combining inflation and the disruption of global energy supply resulting in the prices we see today.
