    Most of them are so dumb they think prices at the grocery store are literally set by the president, like Biden was sitting down signing off on the price of eggs going up rather than ever understanding a semblance of the corporatocracy we live in. And if prices change at the pump, or grocery store, etc, they’ll thank god emperor Trump for signing new prices into place, continuing the cycle of idiocracy.

      When people complain about gas prices in a political discussion I have found that taking it to the absurd can shut them up. I’ll say something like “Well everybody knows Biden has that big gas price lever on his desk in the oval office. He just keeps cranking on it, why won’t he stop?”
