    How do you know this is because of gas prices?

    I would guess it is because of gas prices and it isn’t clear whether this is a single issue thing ahe is really worked up over or an overall realization of his shittiness. While fun to hear, she is most likely just mad about gas prices.

      Okay, hot take: people care about gas prices because it’s how most people are exposed to politics. No matter how wilfully ignorant you are, you can’t not notice gas prices spiking. Most of the rest of politics is opaque unless you’re tuned in.

      So why does that matter? Because it means everyone (with a car) knows there’s another war in the middle east. So anyone who thought Iraq was bullshit and voted for Trump because he promised “no more wars” is painfully aware that he lied now.
