The post already says theyre blaming it on Biden. I've heard magats say gas was $9/gal under Biden. These people has the memory of a gold fish, and just repeat whatever faux news says.

LOLWUT. Was that a thing in any state at all? I could see some regions like Hawaii or Cali maybe?

They also said its cheaper now than it was under Biden, so im inclined to say this is just delusional rationalization.

I looked it up, and supposedly gas peaked at $5 under Biden, but I don't know when that was, and it must not have lasted very long. I know for a fact that it was a point of pride that I had never paid over $3.99 per gallon until Trump came along.

Besides, how does that Biden-blaming work? So if gas got to $9 under Biden, does that mean MAGAs are okay with it going to 8.99?

I assume they were pissed at Biden when it got over $3-4, right? So how come if it was bad when Biden did it, it's okay for Trump to do it? This idea of: "So what if inflation/ unemployment/ etc is way up, it was worse under Biden!" is a really illogical argument. You hated it under Biden enough that you just had to allow a proven traitor and pedophile back into the job, but now it's all okay? It seems like everything bad is okay, as long as it isn't as bad as Biden, but if it gets worse than Biden, it's still okay, because that's Biden's fault, too.

Haven't these people ever heard that two wrongs don't make a right?

You've put way more thought i to this than they do. They are just delusional amd think things are great now and things are cheaper when they aren't.

If you put it in context of a sports team it makes way more sense. What he's trying to do is say "dude look at your favorite team's averages, they're terrible." No one's gonna listen to that and they'll just find any cope they can because it's their favorite team and the other team is really boring and lame so they can't be right.

There's no point In even talking to those people. We have to take away their power and ignore them. We no longer owe them civility

I was talking with someone yesterday that had a giant Trump sign in his yard well after the last election. Sign was taken down months ago and he was saying the he doesn't even want to vote anymore because he doesn't want to be responsible for who gets into office. That's not an insignificant change. I live in the south and I have only heard one person saying anything remotely positive about him out loud, and they had to state that it wasn't all good in the same sentence. Trump does not have the support he did when elected because these people sleep waling through life are waking up to at least a measure of reality.

Those maga folk in southern states do like to BBQ steaks. I wonder how they’ll spin this one to support trump while they swallow the extra cost without admitting they’re wrong?

cowfodder@lemmy.zip · 17 pts · 62d

One minor quibble. Generally, you grill steaks. BBQ is a low and slow cooking method in a smoky environment to allow larger cuts of meat with lots of collagen time to get tender and delicious.

It's always so strange to me to hear "flesh-eating fly (that causes extreme pain to every warm-blooded mammal) has resurfaced. This will make beef more expensive."

It's the same energy as "ah we just bombed Iran, now gas is more expensive."

I guess I'll just keep reposting this until journalism catches up: The screwworm coverage so far is terrible.

First off, everyone is acting like this is a problem for beef prices (end of list). No, this is a problem for any mammal living in the southern US. FFS, some of the cases already are dogs- how are people not putting this together?

Second, Biden did whiff on the screwworm response in Central America. They should have pulled a Gandalf as screwworms spread north, but instead were modern Democrats and assumed the situation would fix itself until it was really bad.

Third, the real blame lies with whoever was POTUS before Biden (I can’t recall) for ignoring that the Panama facility holding the Darien Gap needed updates, more funding. We’re talking tens of millions of dollars to fix in 2018 what will now be a billions and billions problem. Trump- oh right it was Trump. Yeah, then when Covid hit they lost the Gap. To come back in 2025 and cut funding to to the program, pull out of partnerships with nations dealing with screwworms, and re-open the border to animal disease vectors is insanity. Are we sure these people aren’t literal demons feeding on human misery?
