Because the ones with the actual power, the ones who vote for him. It doesn't matter how bad things get, they are always going to vote for the most bigot candidate there is.

$6/gallon gas? No problem, as long as "the gays" get their rights taken away. $12 hamburger? No big deal, as long as the blacks are being pushed out of politics.

That's why red team keeps winning. Because the bigots and religious zealots value their hatred and perceived control more than anything else.

Well certainly something has to be done about Iran not allowing commercial ships through the straight - right? Ships making it through that particular shipping lane impacts the rest of the world a lot more than the US too…

[-]

Acceptable_Fan9489@reddit

Ships were going through the Strait fine and without tolls, until we bombed them into the stone age, and killed their Supreme Leader and now have to deal with an even more hardline leader. This quagmire was completely self inflicted. And now Iran and every other country knows that the only way to make sure they are not the next Iran is to have a nuclear weapon, like North Korea. No one is invading North Korea. The US probably just accelerated nuclear proliferation, which is exactly what they were trying to stop. Imagine how much health care $25billion can buy. We have money for wars, but can't feed the poor. Something's never change

[-]

TheOneCalledD@reddit

So why are they not allowing the ships and enforcing tolls on ships from other countries? Not just US and Israel? Their fight is with us.

Oh right. The Iranian regime are terrorists.

TheOneCalledD@reddit

They are hanging out there now because Iran is literally pirating commercial ships in the straight.

You know there are ships stranded in the straight by Iran right now with humanitarian aid on it? Crew members stranded in the straight facing starvation?

There’s currently a ceasefire and you don’t have those unless there’s a war (still expensive as fuck though).
Trump has let at least three Iranian tankers pass (explain that)
Just an hour ago Trump said he’d stop escorting ships through the straight

It’s almost like your comment is ridiculous and that Trump has zero plan.

buddy if you are in this sub, don't you also have nearly infinite time to learn about this stuff? Do yourself a favor and listen to some judge Napolitano podcasts, episodes with mearsheimer or with Jeff Sachs, you will learn a ton.

Iran has not been trying and failing to obtain a nuke for 30 or 40 years, only thwarted at the last second all the time by intervention, and thank god because if they got the bomb they would, you know, attack us in a suicidal blaze of glory knowing we would immediately glass their country in a counterstrike. Absurd. That said, the leader who explicitly prohibited nukes, we killed him. And it's hard to imagine there isnt some point of devastation where this actually could become a real threat, and they could easily obtain a working product probably from Pakistan. Them not nuking america is not a function of us attacking them, if anything those things are inversely related

We should bail out the customers who get fucked over and let the executives work off their crimes in prison. The bank employees who didn't commit the crime should get paid a settlement from the assets of the executives and bank itself sold off until they can secure more employment or start their own business.

[-]

RebelTvshka@reddit

I hear you, but if we did all that then it would hurt the banks customers, the citizens. We absolutely should punish the execs though regardless.

[-]

TheOriginalArchibald@reddit

Are we being sarcastic anymore... or? How does covering assets like houses and cars caught up in nefarious bank executive shenanigans for the customers, the citizens hurt them? Instead of giving the banks billions we just use that to cover the losses of the customers themselves instead of protecting the bank.

There are other banks and credit unions. Let them fail and offset their failure directly to the citizens rather than just giving the bank a pass. They're the ones who want to be free market capitalists after all. If they take advantage of people and topple the economy causing severe harm globally then let them fail.

If an innocent bank is on the verge of collapse because of another banks nefarious play then sure, help them out too. As a loan.

I paid attention all four years during Biden administration.

Trump inherited a pretty decent economy and totally ripped everything to shreds. Trump is a disaster.

[-]

charonco@reddit

First, no they weren't absent. Literally everybody complained about Biden. We even had to put up with those stupid stickers on all the fuel pumps. All of that and the fact is there was nothing that could be done about the high fuel prices. They were caused by the fact that when demand was low during covid we shut down refineries. When demand went back up, it took time to bring them back online. In addition to that we had nothing to do with Russia invading Ukraine. This time people are rightfully pissed at the right person because we're in a pointless war that has unnecessarily raised our fuel prices. There's a huge difference. I guess the curious thing is why I'm betting you complained back then but you're not complaining now.

How come MAGA’s so quiet these days?

Although to be fair for the first month of the war the standard MAGA answer here was always “California prices are usually the highest so [rambling logical lapse] it’s California’s fault if any other states have slightly higher fuel prices”. Now even MAGA has given up defending high fuel prices and taken the view that it’s ok.

Do u know the internet exists? U know the thing that lets the magic box communicate with everyone?

This can be looked up in 5 seconds.

Here ill do it for you.

"U.S. gasoline prices have increased by approximately 50% since the start of the conflict in Iran, with the national average reaching over $4.48 per gallon as of May 5, 2026. Prices rose from an average of $2.98 just before the conflict began, representing a surge of over a dollar per gallon and significantly increasing monthly fuel costs for consumers"

[-]

Girafferage@reddit

Prices have actually gone up a lot on average in California just like everywhere else in the US. Though since the prices are already higher I suppose you might not notice as much .

[-]

heisenberg2JZ@reddit

You're acting like we didn't nearly hit $8 during the other bozo's presidency. What changed exactly? Orange man bad, I get it, but fck man, so are all politicians. What's the divide accomplish? Pretty L tier manipulation if you're still falling for this two party crap.

[-]

Girafferage@reddit

What did Biden do that made gas spike to that level?
Because I can tell you exactly what Trump did that made gas spike lol.

You cant just chalk every critical thought about the man to people thinking "orange man bad". I agree that both sides suck balls but the real GOP died with McCain. The festering corpse that is left is just people who made politics their entire ego and are incapable of critically thinking it out.

heisenberg2JZ@reddit

The Russian oil ban, for one, but only Trump does things that affect global markets, so ignore that.

[-]

heisenberg2JZ@reddit

Thats... not a yes or no question, but okay? For me they haven't, I'm on gas though, not diesel. And I'm in a major city. The guy with tds was bitching about maga and I just pointed out a couple things about how it's not a single party issue. And it isn't, we can go back to covid and see $8 gas here then too.

[-]

GoodGoodGoody@reddit

Are you going to to back up “not much” since January with the data or not.

[-]

heisenberg2JZ@reddit

Probably not, because this hasn't been productive from the start. A dem president will do this again as well. Soon too, and I'm sure we'll be turning the tables on eachother once more. I made a mistake by getting invested into divisive conversation with loud people.

Like, it's gone beyond party lines now.

[-]

Misiu881988@reddit

Buddy.... ur trying to sound smart but....

the gas prices are up for literally one reason. We bombed Iran. And Iran did exactly what everyone warned they would do... they fired off every missile they had at random infrastructure including oil refineries and ships in the straight.

Now oil production is down and the big boats with oil cant leave.

And now the gas prices are high.

And no one on the left is silent. They are literally saying what I just said. And so are many Republicans

I really don't know whats gotten into him this go around, I guess he doesn't need to worry about re-election so he can focus all his energy into being an evil, dick measuring, man-child. He's becoming so overtly corrupt that even some of his hardliners are turning on him. A tyrant beholden to no one and a damn fool.

Why? You wont take the argument in good faith because you aren't operating from a good faith mindset yourself. The pejorative framing makes that pretty clear. You would benefit from learning to examine the letter separately from the envelope.

GoodGoodGoody@reddit

Oh I think I’ve been pretty clear.

Trump’s position, “Vote for me and no new wars and low fuel prices.”

Feel free to explain the wars and high fuel prices.

[-]

xDoomKitty@reddit

Thats your view on their position and why you have a problem with that position.

I would have a problem with that position also, if thats all it was.

But that isnt the problem you asked about. So id like to ask a clarifying question.

Do you have a problem with the presupposition you just inhabited with them being lied to and them being ok with it, or do you have a problem with them holding a position you dont understand?

[-]

GoodGoodGoody@reddit

Uh huh.

Lotta excuses but still not explaining.

But sure, let’s say I’m just too dumb. Explain it for the rest of the nice folks here.

[-]

xDoomKitty@reddit

I didnt say you were too dumb and if that came across like that then I apologize.

I just wanted to know what you actually have a problem with: maga being lied to and being ok with it, or them holding a position you believe is incoherent because it isnt known to you.

Which is it?

Well I’m sure if you had something of value to say you’d have said it by now.

xDoomKitty@reddit

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I do not wish to engage with vague unfalsifiable statements and ad hominem when asking for narrowing of positional vagueness.

The methodology isn't productive for defining an actual position, and the double down suggests there isn't an actual position to be had if it isn't willing to be defined.

If you would like to narrow your position, I will engage the actual position. I won't be engaging 2 positions disguised as one vague position.

what i'd like to see in my lifetime, which wont happen, is the introduction of an official third party. our two party system basically has gridlock and various other fuckery built in. a shame, really. there needs to be an official independent party, in addition to the existing two.

it was republicans who freed the slaves, and it was democrats (most of which in the south known as dixiecrats) who resisted this, cuz slaves which you dont have to pay sure were good for business.

your holier than thou bullshit is only and exactly that, slave-driver.

so hey hows that fraud that so many democrat lawmakers are running working out for your gov races?

i bet youre ALL ABOUT THAT DEM LIFE now that you started using that app that copies nancy pelosi's insider trading stock trades eh?! way to go!

You are actually so stupid. The “republicans” that ended slavery were actually following many liberal ideologies that the modern Democratic Party follows as well. It wasn’t until the Great Depression that the “great shift” happened. Please

[-]

planetbuster@reddit

you need to do some reading about the antebellum south and the period before that, friend. no, not on MSNBCs website either. hell, the kkk started in the south. the LINCOLN admin freed the slaves and as youd imagine.. that pissed off the southerners a tad bit.

there was a grand total of two things that made plantations work so well back in them days; slaves were people you didnt have to pay (therefore crazy profit margins), and transporting products (cotton, tobacco, etc) by river was FAR cheaper than by land. if it werent for these two things theres no WAY the majority of those sorts of (democrat) land owners would have gotten so big.

and republicans came and took away slavery and the dixiecrats were pissed. you lying thru your fucking teeth saying HURRRRR NO NO NO THE DEMOCRATS *ALSO* SAY SLAVERY WUZ BAD is patently objectively false. sorry.

hell as late as 1964 a surprising amount of DEMOCRATS were still raging against freedom. when the civil rights act was passed it was bipartisan with just slightly more dem support, cuz the dems outnumbered the republicans hard at that time.

but.. when you look at the number of dems who voted AGAINST the civil rights act, compared to the repubs that voted against the act, the dems who voted AGAINST the civil rights act outnumbered the republicans 3 to 1. so a very significant percent of all dems had voted, both times, against even the civil rights act?

y'all are some haters. 248 dems voted (something like a few abstained, dont remember) and out of 248 total, 96 voted AGAINST it? thats nearly 39%, you guys suck.
