Here is a microcosm of what has happened in America over the last 6 years....

In 2020 a 24 pack of Coke Zero was $6.88 at Walmart

Today....

I agree. As much as I’m disgusted with Trump, I’d much rather the past 2 years than leftist control and more flooding of 3rd world inbreds into America and bullshite like Covid shutdowns which is still the root of the fricked up economy. How quickly people forget that the democrats started all this shite

Not sure how Democrats are going to lower gas prices.


People are retarded though. Notice how no one complains about things like egg prices. It's because the price of some things have come down.

For 60% of Americans, yes....


You are forgetting that 50% of American's don't have 1k for an emergency and something close to 55% don't have 401k or a retirement account.

When gas prices are over $1 more than they were just 10 months ago and the cost of everyday goods are more expensive due to inflation and the fact that mortgage rates that were low 5's in 2025 are now mid 7's in 2026.... yeah, that fricks everyday people.


And before you say "Muh, but Biden..." American's live in the moment and if things aren't what Trump claimed they would be, he will get blamed.

By the end of Biden's term, a 24 pack of Coke Zero had jumped to $14.28 at Walmart.

Two years later, it's $15.24. That is your microcosm.

Such a ridiculous post.

My wife and I are considered upper class and are not this clueless.

You have to actively go out of your way to not pay attention to type a post like this.

It's still hard to believe, last nights outcome.

It's really not though. Younger conservatives have been talking about this since last summer. The gas prices were the cherry on top. Some of his policies haven't helped either. His policies that were going to "help" like the limits on house buying and the H1B1 fees have so many loopholes that they might as well not exist. I have a hard time believing he's a "populist."

American's live in the moment. That is why none of their woes will change regardless of the economy.

Yeah I just invite (typo meant ignore) the gasoline texts. That’s noise. $7+ diesel is what really matters.

Correct. You weren't. That is the point.

The coke pricing was up >200% under Biden.
It's up 6% under Trump.

Yet you were not making the comparison.

Again, it's not about gas...it's about diesel and its impact on literally everything you spend money on.


And diesel prices were going up before Iran and were going to go up regardless of Iran and there was nothing Trump could have done about.

Educate yourself instead parroting MSM and Dem talking points.
