He's going to burn the party to the ground if they ever grow a set.

Holy Mother of God, they're not even hiding it anymore. 

 

Oh well, America gets what it deserves. If Republican voters are moronic enough to vote for this - and all indications suggest that they indeed are - then we deserve what's coming to us.

Remember when we were so wrongly told that the Republican Party hadn't fallen down the rabbit hole of the crazies?

I disagree. I don't think the rest of us deserve to watch the country circle the toilet preparing to be sucked down the drain because one of our two major parties collectively decided to lose it's damn mind, either being incapable of or willfully forfeiting critical thought, and decided to cozy up to fascism out of spite and fear. 

 

MAGA, as a movement, needs snuffed out, so the people it has ensnared can return to living semi-normal lives not fueled by a constant stream of anger and resentment.

All the more reason why we need to vote the Dems back in even if a person normally votes for more moderate GOP candidates. Policy can be corrected later if needed but voting in authoritarian candidates could set us down the road of no return

We agree to disagree.

 

If a horde of Trumpers are this easily brainwashed, outright rejecting many actual problems our country faces and substitutes imaginary ones instead, then we absolutely get what we deserve. 

 

Currently, the median voter ranks gas prices - completely out of the control of the President - as a bigger concern than MAGA Republicans (despite having the lower prices than all of Europe and developed Asian countries). So, yes, if they walk into a voting booth in two months and elect MAGA we absolutely deserve it.

This is almost always true, not just for this time period

The media is a large contributor to this problem. "Pain at the Pump" is an eye-catching headline. "Gas Prices are OK" doesn't catch eyeballs, so you don't see those articles.

You are correct, but it's also true that the rise in gas prices has hit the Eurozone much harder than the United States. As gas trickles below $3.30 a gallon, that's not that far off of normal prices for late summer.
