If people think Trump 2.0 has not been what they thought, I’d wager they are more likely to stay home than they are to just switch over to Democrats. Enthusiasm for this administration is low.
Anyone who would think they would get more of what they want under democrats, were not voting for Republicans in the first place. 80% of what you want and 20% of what you didn't want is much better than 0% of what you want and 100% of what you don't want.

This. I was in a situation where I had to endure some MSNBC Morning Joe this morning… They are acting like this is the worst economy in the history of the country, crying about gas prices… when these same commies said nothing about the literal YEARS everything was more expensive under Biden. They also REALLY want Iran to win and beat Trump.

I don’t want to share the same country with these pieces of commie traitor shite anymore.

Biden's Administration was a fiasco enough with actual facts. No need to make talking points that can easily be disproved.

For 5 of Biden's 48 months, the national average was higher than it averaged for April 2026.

Fill up sooner than it won't cost as much.

I’d rather pay for it now than later. I also am more forgiving when it’s due to strong foreign policy rather than weak domestic policy.

The price of gas will be back below $3 before the Fourth of July. Gas will likely be below $4 a gallon before memorial day.

Full tank costs me $40 from empty. But then I'm not one of you gas guzzling, nature-hating, global-warming Republicans.

Plus-my Soy bike that I take in my male rainbow yoga pants to my Trans Dance Therapy class defrays the cost a bit.

You should hear the political ads in California, democrats stating they will “reduce the cost of gas” or “suspend the gas tax”


It’s like…..no shite idiots.

If a tank of gas costs less than 100 you’re not a real man

Filling up a gas tank in Europe has been 80 dollars for years.

Trump has done a lot of great things in his first 16 months, but this is an unforced error and huge black eye for him. Of course, his ilk won't admit it and come back with the "muh you poors" response
If we get our way in Iran, prices will be WAY lower than this. I'm happy to "blame" him for this interim period.
