Well Biden took credit for when he lowered gas prices this summer so you tell me?

Takes credit when they fall but remains silent when they rise. Hmmmm

disappoooointed.

But yes, a new age began when Roy Rogers passed in 1998. A darker age, where that same year google was incorporated and new, harder-to-counterfeit $20 bills were introduced into circulation. A severe ice storm in Canada rendered millions without power, Quebec was told they couldn't secede and Iraq prevented UN weapons inspectors from their searches leading to Clinton ordering airstrikes. He protected us as long as he could, and at reasonable prices.

Edit: hold tight friends, legend says the once and future cowboy will return to us one day

man, how does one lose to the incredibly awful guy who can't think/speak? how does the POTUS let elections get so insecure on his watch? he won fair and square in 16 without already being in a position of power...somehow biden rigged the elections better in 20 than crooked hillary in 16?? i *highly* doubt that. biden truly is awful though (but it could be worse).

It was that oil companies were playing games with prices to agitate going into the midterms to back republicans who will reflexively side with oil companies against indigenous people and also want to dismantle the EPA. The conservative media machine then ran with the story non stop to the point of getting those dumb stickers printed for hillbillies to vandalize gas stations with.

Or whatever shit you said that doesn't even make any basic economic sense.

BLM wasn't democrats...democrats supported BLM, but many members/participants in BLM and the related events are against both republicans and democrats. Something like 30-40% of voters identify as independent...

Contrast that to Jan. 6. Those were almost universally republican voters, with a sprinkling of federal agents. Many people are against what happened both on Jan 6 and during the BLM craze (you know, ike *any* reasonable american citzen).

No reasonable person on any part of the political spectrum thinks breaching the capitol on Jan 6 or any of the BLM protests that devolved into looting/rioting were OK.

i know both sides aren't equivalent, but please humor me.

Think of how many super staunch anti-trump people exist. MANY are simply against trump and not supporters of Joe Biden.

I agree that a super anti-biden person is more likely to be pro-trump than a super anti-trump person being pro-biden, but there's zero percent chance there aren't MANY anti-biden people who are not pro-trump based on the fact i've encountered numerous anti-trump who are not democrats or super pro-democrat, and i would bet money you have to. Just apply that to the people on the other side of the spectrum.

Regardless of what you may think of either Trump or Biden, who in their right mind makes a something like this? Who has the time to do this and then puts their energy into something like this? I despise both of them and I know many who don’t like Biden or Trump or either of them, and no one is making some display like this. That’s just really crazy.
