Many Americans are cutting back on everyday expenses as gas prices soar due to President Donald Trump’s war in Iran, now approaching the 10-week mark. About 44 percent of Americans said they’re driving less due to high gas prices, while 42 percent said they’ve slashed household expenses, according to a Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll. In addition, the poll revealed that 34 percent have altered travel or vacation plans. Americans are changing their behaviors as national average gas prices hit $4.43 per gallon Saturday, according to the AAA motor club. This time last year, the national average was just $3.15 per gallon. Patrick de Haan, a petroleum analyst for GasBuddy, said Saturday’s average price marked a sobering new record. “The national average price of gasoline has never been higher on the second day in May than it is today,” he wrote on X.
I agree all of those are terrible, and I hope it’s clear I didn’t ever even remotely consider voting for the guy; but you realize why none of those things really matter to the average American who is struggling to get by every day, right?
Like: mocking leaders’ deaths, mocking people with disabilities, having affairs with porn stars… – those are all terrible, inhumane, and “un-professional” things for the person to do; but when you’re desperate for some change and lost faith in the other party, it makes sense that voters would be willing to ignore those. Perhaps these aspects are indicators of what the guy would do in office; but most people in this country don’t think that deep into anything.
The involvement in Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring is a powerful point because it hits just about every group with disgust. For the rest of this, I’d just focus more on Trump’s ties to Big Tech and Big Finance; because that’s the avenue that people feel the effect of. That and this country’s shitty Medical system.
