    They blame him when prices are up. It’s only fair if he gets credit when they’re down.

        The new talking point is how Biden is allowing genocide in Israel… because Trump wouldn’t have done the same exact thing…

        Manufactured outrage. It’s so boring but the older folks just love it I guess.

        We should just buy up cable channels and make a fictional reality that we can sequester them to. Fox News. CNN. MSNBC but all scripted.

        Don’t even hide it, just have it in the script that some Tucker Carlson type says, “that’s what the liberal media wants you to think.” Hell, hire Tucker and O’Reilly for all I care.

        Start broadcasting alternative dates, they wouldn’t notice losing a week. Then have fake elections where their “alt Trump” just barely wins. Just to keep tensions high.

        Hey, its a long shot but at least it has a chance at working. Unlike trying to change these assholes minds. Hell you don’t even have to convince all the MAGAs of the alternative reality. Just like 8-10% maybe and you’ve spun out the GOP platform.

        Q proves its possible.

      The fact that gas prices are somehow representative of how well the President is doing makes no sense at all.

      In fact, if they were doing well they’d start weaning the US off the enormous oil subsidies and those prices would skyrocket and people would think harder about other forms of transportation.

                No, it would just be more expensive. I do tons of remote travel and the range and lack of charging infrastructure are prohibitive until that improves.

                    Dude I take people on wilderness adventures all over the US, but that’s only a side gig. I’ve definitely never seen an EV on rough mountain 4x4 trails though. I’m sure they’ve gone many of those places but out there they bring generators to recharge. How many superchargers per square mile are there in Wyoming, Montana, South/North Dakota? Hell even Kansas which isn’t so remote? Even on major highways where charging is easier to find, I sometimes drive 1200 miles/day. It just isn’t ready yet.
