I think it would be ironic if when gas drops more to put those stickers back on. Then I wonder what there argument would be, Trump lowered prices from Maralago
I'm not sure where you're at, but around where I live, you might have. I've been carefully removing them when I see them, and reapplying them with some tackum* when the prices drop. It's petty, but puts a smile on my face
I hate those stickers and this general discussion but I mean it's def not really that far back down. Everything is super expensive. Again not blaming anyone it's just thr state of the USA.
It’s still over a dollar higher and it’s not gonna be down much longer when the strategic reserve goes empty now your going to have the government and the population all buying at the same time which will drive the cost up even more
I want to do that with the low prices and the picture of Biden wearing sunglasses but I'd need some sort of sticker that's easy to remove and doesn't leave residue. Don't gotta vandalize a pump just to have a bit of fun
Faux News when gas was over $4 under Bush II “The president has absolutely no control over the price of gas” Faux News when gas was over $4 under Biden “High gas prices are all Biden’s fault and Biden’s alone”
Yeah I paid $4.25 in 2008 when Bush was POTUS. Silence from the right, other than to correctly point out that global factors (such as attacking a middle-eastern nation with zero cause) are what actually raise fuel prices.
Fox also had an insane shill "economics expert" telling us that when gas prices quadrupled in four short years, it still wasn't a very big part of car ownership. The reasoning? Because everyone has to pay for insurance and a car payment and parking and tolls anyway.
It's interesting because they've been primed to think this way their entire lives. If something bad happens, it's Satan, if something good happens, it's God. So, God is all powerful AND bad things happen, and that's okay, because the default is that God does good things and to just scapegoat all bad things.
It's also great because when adjusted for inflation gas prices were still higher under Bush II and thanks to government regulations and investments (pushed for by Dems) most of cars are much more efficient than back then.
One week before midterms, gas prices shit up 40¢. 3 days after midterms it dropped that 40¢, and has continued to fall in the last month. We dropped below 3 this week.
It's the Saudis as much as the gas companies. They prefer republicans, because they're disorganized shit-heads who can be bribed - or with Trump, flattered, & led around by the nose.
It was almost predictable, but not for the reasons you are suggesting. Gas prices usually rise in Spring, and usually go down in the fall, on average. It happens because demand rises in the spring and decreases in the winter (example:
during peak gas prices, i still saw those MAGA clowns with their lifted trucks and flags doing 80+mph on the freeway. gas prices can't be that bad if it doesn't change their behavior.
Growing up in redneckistan during GWB years - all my “roll coal” friends were bragging bout how low their gas mileage was and hardly balked at the prices (other than some grumbling).
False, I was just arguing with my conservative in laws, And they just simply refuseThe fact that the price of gas has gone down. They instead tried to argue that the gas prices are still high. They have dropped about a dollar per gallon over the past month or so
they have been radicallized to hate the "other team" at all costs. it's just blind hate man. the best you can do behave normally around them, which flies counter what they've been taught to believe about the other side.
The #1 thing i hear anymore is how my friends were MUCH more financially comfortable under the previous administration compared to this one. Upper $3 to lower $4 is still extremely high for us in gas prices, and wont be back to normal levels until they're to the mid-lower $2. I dont think ill ever see those prices anymore....
What was funny was they were all screaming about high gas prices when it was almost $5 a gallon then the price fell like a rock for a while, and they tried to spin it like prices falling like that was a bad thing.
Yea I was curious as to why Maga folks stop putting the "biden did this" stickers on the pumps now that prices are coming back down? It couldn't possibly be because they are hypocrites or biased. We all know they are the most level-headed, objective, and logical group of people.
I'd buy some of those stickers now, but I don't want to give money to the dickheads that were further radicalizing Republicans by selling them in the first place.
KiD: For christ's sakes dad, don't you think that if Democrats controlled the gas prices they would be cheap now, and expensive when the other party was in office?? Oh that's right. You just voted for Hershel Walker.
I think we should all just agree $2+ gas prices are bullshit and blame the companies making record profits while we eek out a basic existence... The insert old millionaire here who's president at the moment doesn't mean shit.
After having this conversation with a few people, I can confirm that they still blame Biden for the cost of gas and want to pay the same price they paid back in 2020 when nobody was driving anywhere.
So funny that these people will degenerate into terrorists and murderous seditionists across the entire country! So funny that the spineless, weak, pathetic government won't do anything about them. So funny that the seditionists responsible for j6 are still free and allowed to be in positions of power! So funny the American people have done nothing about it like we did for blm back in 2020 because they're all about talking a big game now never walking the talk and this is why there will never be a marchagainstnazis in real life because everyone is too much of a coward to stand up for their 'strong beliefs.'
Fuck, living in oil country Alberta, I feel this. OPEC fucks with the price of oil and causes mass lay offs, then suddenly its Trudeaus fault. Get a bunch of cunts in safety vests blocking traffic and demanding our federal government be dissolved because they won't even try to get into a different industry after they get laid off for the 13th time.
Number one reason it went up was because of z trump pushing the Saudis to cut production. Gas would have been $1 or less during Covid if not for him screwing us.
Had a coworker tell me that Bidens administration has made it so North Eastern states only have 25 days of diesel left. I think it was about October when he told me.
Actually the second one dad should be saying something like “no they aren’t, they’re still going up” “it’s because the mid terms” or “still not low enough should be 50 cents”
Considering the impact fossil fuels has on the planet, the price of gas is way way way too low. The negative externalities should be priced in, to account for the true cost of gas.
What makes me laugh is this goes the other way too. When gas prices go up Biden supporters say it’s not his fault, but when they come down Biden’s Twitter account will take credit for the drop in price
The fact that some people are so fucking stupid that they genuinely think that this kind of shit is something that specifically and only people who don't vote like them do
So while it is absolutely 100% true that conservatives assholes are morons and hypocrites who engage in magical thinking and regularly ignore obvious facts when they are inconvenient for them - this specific criticism is dumb.
Gas national average 2.39 on Inauguration Day, today the average is 3.41 per AAA. Yes they’re down since the record highs but still up 42.6% since the start of his presidency
Ive seen people mention that he opened the gas reserves, but other than that I rarely see anyone say it's because of Biden. Most people are just happy it's going down. That's it.
No silly, gas prices coming down are due to prayers to GOP Jesus, who is also interested in hearing prayers before sports games and child beauty pageants.
Friendly reminder that trying to fight someone online is about as effective as throwing a bagel at a bulldozer. A lot of what we talk about gets people pretty emotional, but be mad at policies, not other users.
Kinda weird I ain't seen a single "I DID THAT" sticker with Biden pointing to the gas price now that it's back down. Really weird.
I think it would be ironic if when gas drops more to put those stickers back on. Then I wonder what there argument would be, Trump lowered prices from Maralago
One reason I'm happy we have gas attendants in NJ... I've never seen one of those stupid ass stickers.
I want a version of that but it's Putin instead.
Surprised they aren't saying the low gas prices are bad for the economy because somethingsomethingcapitalism.
I'm waiting for gas to hit 2$ and then I'm going to fucking relentlessly sticker up every fucking gas station in town.
I'm not sure where you're at, but around where I live, you might have. I've been carefully removing them when I see them, and reapplying them with some tackum* when the prices drop. It's petty, but puts a smile on my face
I saw one that had been half assed dug off.
No, but I see one on my Taco Bell drive thru for some reason.
I wonder if people are actually going around removing them now.
I came across one last week. The price at the time was low $3.
$2.98 by me and not a single sticker.
Found one the other day. Took a picture of it and posted to Facebook with the caption "I guess I should be thanking Biden then?"
Now I want to buy a few of those stickers and post em around lol.
I hate those stickers and this general discussion but I mean it's def not really that far back down. Everything is super expensive. Again not blaming anyone it's just thr state of the USA.
It’s still over a dollar higher and it’s not gonna be down much longer when the strategic reserve goes empty now your going to have the government and the population all buying at the same time which will drive the cost up even more
[удалено]
[удалено]
I’ve seen plenty. No one bothered to take them down from several months ago.
I love the stickers because they can be positive or negative
I've still seen a few but I'm not sure if they're mad it's not 50 cents anymore.
I want to do that with the low prices and the picture of Biden wearing sunglasses but I'd need some sort of sticker that's easy to remove and doesn't leave residue. Don't gotta vandalize a pump just to have a bit of fun
Weird when he actually did something to do that this time.
Faux News when gas was over $4 under Bush II “The president has absolutely no control over the price of gas” Faux News when gas was over $4 under Biden “High gas prices are all Biden’s fault and Biden’s alone”
Except in that case, starting multiple wars in the middle east DID cause gas prices to rise.
Yeah I paid $4.25 in 2008 when Bush was POTUS. Silence from the right, other than to correctly point out that global factors (such as attacking a middle-eastern nation with zero cause) are what actually raise fuel prices.
Fox also had an insane shill "economics expert" telling us that when gas prices quadrupled in four short years, it still wasn't a very big part of car ownership. The reasoning? Because everyone has to pay for insurance and a car payment and parking and tolls anyway.
I love this one because $4 then was a LOT more when you factor in inflation.
Yeah I was paying $5/gal in the summer of 2008 while attempting a cross-country RV road trip. I wasn’t blaming Bush for being broke that summer.
It's interesting because they've been primed to think this way their entire lives. If something bad happens, it's Satan, if something good happens, it's God. So, God is all powerful AND bad things happen, and that's okay, because the default is that God does good things and to just scapegoat all bad things.
Not just that, they were saying it was a sign of how strong the economy was... because it actually is a sign of that.
"The Republicans won the House, therefore God saw how much Americans love the GOP and he lowered gas prices, thank you Republicans!!!"
It's also great because when adjusted for inflation gas prices were still higher under Bush II and thanks to government regulations and investments (pushed for by Dems) most of cars are much more efficient than back then.

I think Saudi Arabia purposely slowed oil production in October to encourage more republican victories in our elections.
I noticed that too. Fucking criminal collusion as well because they all did it.
They have been doing this to favor their chosen Presidential candidate since the at least 80s. (The first time I noticed this phenomenon.)
They did that with diesel too. It was over $5.60 right before the midterms and now barely a month later it's $4.70. Strange huh?
Ha ha finally some others who agree. We gotta make this more known
No trying. Stop saying things "are like" and "it's as if" and "trying" and "maybe"
It's the Saudis as much as the gas companies. They prefer republicans, because they're disorganized shit-heads who can be bribed - or with Trump, flattered, & led around by the nose.

Could be the state government screwing with state gas taxes.
Even my 16 year old son noticed this and brought it up on his own.
during peak gas prices, i still saw those MAGA clowns with their lifted trucks and flags doing 80+mph on the freeway. gas prices can't be that bad if it doesn't change their behavior.
I mean, having their kids shot to death in school hasn't changed their behavior either.
Growing up in redneckistan during GWB years - all my “roll coal” friends were bragging bout how low their gas mileage was and hardly balked at the prices (other than some grumbling).
Republicans thought process: “Apparently gas prices are going down now that Hunter Biden’s Twitter cock has been revealed, Joe had no other option”
I slept through stats class in high school so I think i am qualified to make some conclusions here.
False, I was just arguing with my conservative in laws, And they just simply refuseThe fact that the price of gas has gone down. They instead tried to argue that the gas prices are still high. They have dropped about a dollar per gallon over the past month or so

My Dad: "Gas was under $2 when Trump was president!"
Ah yes, the response of someone who totally feels like they are winning the debate.
Wide open freeways and $1/gal was a beautiful thing for a couple months for us essential buttheads.
Under $2?! I haven’t seen gas under $2 since ‘98.
You lost when you said more than 10 words.
The #1 thing i hear anymore is how my friends were MUCH more financially comfortable under the previous administration compared to this one. Upper $3 to lower $4 is still extremely high for us in gas prices, and wont be back to normal levels until they're to the mid-lower $2. I dont think ill ever see those prices anymore....
maybe devilish trickery using hunters overclocked laptop?
I read that as "over-cocked his laptop".
What was funny was they were all screaming about high gas prices when it was almost $5 a gallon then the price fell like a rock for a while, and they tried to spin it like prices falling like that was a bad thing.
This makes me sad. I’m in CA and the average price in my area is still between $5 and $6
Yea I was curious as to why Maga folks stop putting the "biden did this" stickers on the pumps now that prices are coming back down? It couldn't possibly be because they are hypocrites or biased. We all know they are the most level-headed, objective, and logical group of people.

Because of whoever's in charge, I can't even own a spaceship to drive around locally. Thanks a lot, you jerks

So fking true
Truly masters of doublethink
Once more for the people sitting in the back:
Is the son Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes?
Biden should raise gas prices. It would help combat global warming.
After having this conversation with a few people, I can confirm that they still blame Biden for the cost of gas and want to pay the same price they paid back in 2020 when nobody was driving anywhere.
Gas prices
Actually, both of these are incorrect.
The foresight of our forefathers is only matched by their foreskin
(The gasoline market in Cleveland's day wasn't big enough to merit her attention.)
You mean a leather-skinned illegal inmigrant mid tier model was in charge of gas prices in the last administration? What's a mess.
When gas prices were up: ITS ALL BIDEN FAULT
He keeps taking credit on twitter for lower prices lol
$2.97 here.
bruhhhhh I am jealous. Gas just went down $.20 the other day after months... to $4.89.
So funny that these people will degenerate into terrorists and murderous seditionists across the entire country! So funny that the spineless, weak, pathetic government won't do anything about them. So funny that the seditionists responsible for j6 are still free and allowed to be in positions of power! So funny the American people have done nothing about it like we did for blm back in 2020 because they're all about talking a big game now never walking the talk and this is why there will never be a marchagainstnazis in real life because everyone is too much of a coward to stand up for their 'strong beliefs.'
Those of us in the LGBT have known that they're terrorists and murderers for a looooong time.
People from the political right are capable of reasoning, they just really avoid it and use it only as a last resource.
2.75 near me in GA.
So much truth
It never ceases to amaze me how people can do these mental gymnastics for shit like this. Seeing and hearing only what they want
More reason Trump vermin never actually use reason. Every day they are walking hypocrites we laugh at.
Fuck, living in oil country Alberta, I feel this. OPEC fucks with the price of oil and causes mass lay offs, then suddenly its Trudeaus fault. Get a bunch of cunts in safety vests blocking traffic and demanding our federal government be dissolved because they won't even try to get into a different industry after they get laid off for the 13th time.
The cartoon right winger's use of words with more than one syllable is adorable.
Number one reason it went up was because of z trump pushing the Saudis to cut production. Gas would have been $1 or less during Covid if not for him screwing us.
Had a coworker tell me that Bidens administration has made it so North Eastern states only have 25 days of diesel left. I think it was about October when he told me.
I still find it hilarious when Americans whine about gasoline prices despite having some of the cheapest gasoline in the world
Presidents get too much blame/credit for the economy
Heard a lot of this when W was president. One man can't control gas prices. Bro, he started two full-scale invasions.
be president
Actually the second one dad should be saying something like “no they aren’t, they’re still going up” “it’s because the mid terms” or “still not low enough should be 50 cents”
Don’t like gas prices? Ride a bike you fucking pussy
So then he DID?
The gas is still too damn high
Go to Europe or various other countries if you want to see what actual "high" gas prices are.
Considering the impact fossil fuels has on the planet, the price of gas is way way way too low. The negative externalities should be priced in, to account for the true cost of gas.
Not really? If you drive a car suited to your actual use instead of that big dodge ram, you'd realize fuel really isn't that bad.
Don’t buy a ford F150 and two SUVs then. Gas is $7 a gallon in England and they haven’t died of car too expensive yet.
Do you think it should remain magically at 1985 prices forever? What do you think it should be? Seventy-five cents a goddamn gallon?
Ride a bike then or take some form of public transportation.
Welcome to capitalism. 🤷🏼♂️
The population of the planet is pretty high as well. High demand on scarce resources.
Still over 5$ for 91 in California
Biden is making it come down
What makes me laugh is this goes the other way too. When gas prices go up Biden supporters say it’s not his fault, but when they come down Biden’s Twitter account will take credit for the drop in price
The fact that some people are so fucking stupid that they genuinely think that this kind of shit is something that specifically and only people who don't vote like them do
This sub is full of people who have no business voting.
Are conservatives really talking like that or is this cartoonist imagining things?
So while it is absolutely 100% true that conservatives assholes are morons and hypocrites who engage in magical thinking and regularly ignore obvious facts when they are inconvenient for them - this specific criticism is dumb.
This post has nothing to do with the philosophical point of leaders affecting gas prices through other action and their political positions. Nothing.
Yay. Gas prices went from more than double what they were to only about 170%. Way to go Biden.
Woosh
Found the guy who doesn't understand percentages.
[удалено]
lmao math is not your strong suit huh
Where's the one for Biden saying he doesn't control prices when it was going up but took credit when they came down?
He opened up the reserves to help bring down prices.
Why are you trump snowflakes so fucking stupid. Seriously.
Gas national average 2.39 on Inauguration Day, today the average is 3.41 per AAA. Yes they’re down since the record highs but still up 42.6% since the start of his presidency
Downvoted for posting 2 sentences of verifiable, factual data points. Says all you need to know about this subreddit.
The irony is you could completely flip this comic and it would ring true in an equally pathetic way.
I'm sure not seeing liberals vandalize gas stations with stickers right now.
Nice fantasy.
Nobody thinks that.
Ive seen people mention that he opened the gas reserves, but other than that I rarely see anyone say it's because of Biden. Most people are just happy it's going down. That's it.
Why is the car always levitating?
That is a good question.

Hello! Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately it has been removed because you don't meet our karma threshold.
Emotionally tie fear and sadness to a demographic and turn that into mindless hate.
Gas is under $3 a gallon here now, when do we start slapping the "I did that!" stickers back on the pumps?
Cognitive dissonance!
Gas prices hovering around 2.50 where I'm at. God damn you Biden!!
Soon we'll see this in a Canadian subreddit with "Trudeau" clumsily edited over "Biden", and then in the Ontario subreddit with "Ford" put in.
You guys are getting lowered gas prices? I guess i live in the wrong state.
All to their convenience.
It’s as if the conservatives know everything they spill out is bullshit.
$2.99 where I live!
Anyone else see a real mental health issue being discussed as political comedy?
OPEC.
You guys get gas at $3.65?
Under $3 here in flyover country
why do all boomers draw like this
Im still paying like $5 😭
People can be such idiots!
Wow the accuracy of this is unreal.
I had this EXACT conversation with a conservative friend of mine. Pointing out the hypocrisy only makes them stick their heads further in the sand.

Dude, how do you know my father-in-law?
So what the rail workers deserve to be fucked over or what
3.65 is still fucking terrible
Then why is the left saying that Biden lowered the gas price ?
This from the same people that attribute good things people do to god and bad things to do to the person being a sinner.
Biden is using the Stragtegic Oil Reserves that were filled when crude oil prices were low. Look at Diesel prices. They haven't changed.
Too bad people only recognize the stupidity when it's not on their side.
And if there was a Republican in office the guy would be saying the exact opposite. You know, because my side good other side bad and all that.
Vice versa
Kits been a nice 10% drop from highs, but we’ve still got another 40% to go to reach pre-Biden prices
I’m gonna print these out and vandalize my local gas station! Jk
What’s funny is thinking a Republican can offer a nuanced answer on any subject
My favorite from the idiot commenters in my local news ‘well prices going down mean the economy is bad, Biden is ruining the economy’
