Many Americans are cutting back on everyday expenses as gas prices soar due to President Donald Trump’s war in Iran, now approaching the 10-week mark. About 44 percent of Americans said they’re driving less due to high gas prices, while 42 percent said they’ve slashed household expenses, according to a Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll. In addition, the poll revealed that 34 percent have altered travel or vacation plans. Americans are changing their behaviors as national average gas prices hit $4.43 per gallon Saturday, according to the AAA motor club. This time last year, the national average was just $3.15 per gallon. Patrick de Haan, a petroleum analyst for GasBuddy, said Saturday’s average price marked a sobering new record. “The national average price of gasoline has never been higher on the second day in May than it is today,” he wrote on X.
I love that the president is a rapist, 34 count felon fraudster, collaborated with Russian spies to win in 2016, lied about the Mueller report and mocked Mueller’s death, mocked McCain’s war experience, completely caused the farm bailout, staged an insurrection, pardoned the insurrectionists, tried the false electors scheme, mocked the mentally ill on a debate stage, paid off a pornstar to not talk about him paying to fuck her while Melania was caring for their newborn, ran a scam college, is taking bribes for pardons, is accepting unreported international money into his crypto scam company, bankrupted casinos, was best friends and had wonderful secrets with one of the most prolific sex traffickers and pedophiles in US history and has been covering up the Epstein files
BUT FUCKING GAS PRICES ARE WHAT IS CHANGING REPUBLICANS MINDS.
After they re-elected the dumb motherfucker based on blatant lies about crime rates and a complete misunderstanding of Biden handling of the COVID era economy.
Everyone’s dumb as shit and we are fucked
Fuck Mueller, lifelong republican getting mocked by the guy he saved is the way that piece of shit should be remembered.
Fuck John McCain. The NVA had to race to capture his team before they were lynched by the families of the villagers they’d just murdered.
the unifying republican doctrine is lack of empathy for the other
and to only give a fuck about anything that affects themselves in a very direct way
It’s not even clear that they’ll change their mind. There is a possibility, but if the dems dare to show with a less than perfect strategy and there’s a single point that could be considered slightly unperfect, they will vote rep again.
Oh, or if pedohitler manipulates the market again and the gas prices dip slightly for 2 days before the elections.
Don’t be hyperbolic, they just have to do what people want and help them instead of genocide and trying to be republicans.
We don’t even need Trump voters to vote D, they’re going to stay home in greater numbers because their party is doing the opposite of what was promised. We just need the dems not to do the thing they do every fucking time.
no way the remaining republicans learn anything now
those who could are democrats by now, or at least independants
Like Zelensky, Donald Trump had a career as a paid-actor.
Wrong. Democrats re-elected him when they stayed home because they couldn’t bring themselves to go to the polls and vote for a black women. There’s nobody else to blame.
Attempting to blame racism or sexism for Harris’ many, many, many faults during her campaign just shows you don’t understand the American voting public, voting in general, or why democrats will lose 2028.
I understand that Democrats in 6 key states stayed home, or voted for third party candidates. They gave Trump the win. Nobody else.
Yes I too blame the water in a cup when the cup breaks. I am very smart like you.
