Magats have to come round to understanding that racism and misogyny have a huge cost for them and their families.

Talking to a guy at the gas station yesterday filling up a f250. Jokingly made a comment about what it must cost to fill that tank. He didn’t blink. Said with all seriousness…yeah, and we wouldn’t be in this mess if Biden had managed the federal oil reserves right.



I just said gas is up a buck and a half in the last 2 months and he ain’t been in charge for over a year. Didn’t wait for a response or an argument but their -isms don’t come free.

She had me at her not being Trump
The rest was a bonus

It is the lack of a strong message from Democrats with a super strong right-wing propaganda machine that doesn't tell the people what is happening. They just ignore it. They don't report it. Or if they do report on it, they disguise and distort the facts.
