    Is this the bridge too far, or will his supporters power through and find a way to believe this?

      Take your pick:

      • “Not my problem. I live in {state}, not {state}”
      • “Less red meat a good thing. MAHA”
      • “We shouldn’t have been paying to deworm Mexico in the first place”

        The post already says theyre blaming it on Biden. I’ve heard magats say gas was $9/gal under Biden. These people has the memory of a gold fish, and just repeat whatever faux news says.

          I looked it up, and supposedly gas peaked at $5 under Biden, but I don’t know when that was, and it must not have lasted very long. I know for a fact that it was a point of pride that I had never paid over $3.99 per gallon until Trump came along.

          Besides, how does that Biden-blaming work? So if gas got to $9 under Biden, does that mean MAGAs are okay with it going to 8.99?

          I assume they were pissed at Biden when it got over $3-4, right? So how come if it was bad when Biden did it, it’s okay for Trump to do it? This idea of: “So what if inflation/ unemployment/ etc is way up, it was worse under Biden!” is a really illogical argument. You hated it under Biden enough that you just had to allow a proven traitor and pedophile back into the job, but now it’s all okay? It seems like everything bad is okay, as long as it isn’t as bad as Biden, but if it gets worse than Biden, it’s still okay, because that’s Biden’s fault, too.

          Haven’t these people ever heard that two wrongs don’t make a right?

            You’ve put way more thought i to this than they do. They are just delusional amd think things are great now and things are cheaper when they aren’t.

              If you put it in context of a sports team it makes way more sense. What he’s trying to do is say “dude look at your favorite team’s averages, they’re terrible.” No one’s gonna listen to that and they’ll just find any cope they can because it’s their favorite team and the other team is really boring and lame so they can’t be right.

          LOLWUT. Was that a thing in any state at all? I could see some regions like Hawaii or Cali maybe?

            They also said its cheaper now than it was under Biden, so im inclined to say this is just delusional rationalization.

          There’s no point In even talking to those people. We have to take away their power and ignore them. We no longer owe them civility

      I was talking with someone yesterday that had a giant Trump sign in his yard well after the last election. Sign was taken down months ago and he was saying the he doesn’t even want to vote anymore because he doesn’t want to be responsible for who gets into office. That’s not an insignificant change. I live in the south and I have only heard one person saying anything remotely positive about him out loud, and they had to state that it wasn’t all good in the same sentence. Trump does not have the support he did when elected because these people sleep waling through life are waking up to at least a measure of reality.
