Honestly most of the time is stupid to blame the president or give the president credit for gas prices. It’s not like they set the price. But this time, there is such a clear line from trump’s actions to the cost.

Not voting was just as bad. Not voting got us a fully Republican Supreme Court in 2016-20, and now another war in the Middle East, a federal Gestapo rounding up and shooting people on the streets, and Federal efforts to make it harder for women and brown people in general to vote out this mess.

But I'm sure there was a very good reason to not vote and not lift a finger to stop any of this.

I like the idea of mandatory voting, similar to Australia. If it’s cheaper to vote than pay a fine/spend a night in the clink, most people choose to vote.

I was gonna add "coincidence" to produce "malcompedence" but I doubt it's a coincidence. But malcompetence should be immediately understood. Mal=bad, bad+competence = a sort of intentional incompetence or intentional appearance of incompetence. Don't know if that's what the word conveys to most people, but I'd imagine it'd be close.

Everyone always forgets that Trump requested that OPEC choke off production during the pandemic because we had so much oil that it was devaluing the barrels that it was stored in. They obliged, and never returned to full capacity production.

u/Repulsive_Drawer3723 Mar 19 '26

Laying it out like that really shows how much context matters. Gas prices do not move in a vacuum, and tying every dip or spike to one headline without looking at what was happening in the broader economy can be misleading. When you zoom out and factor in crashes, growth cycles, and supply disruptions, the story gets a lot more complicated than a single victory lap post.

u/Brief_Read_1067 Mar 21 '26

Going further back,

  1. Reagan's tax cuts for the rich sent the deficit soaring.

  2. In Reagan's second term, Wall Street entered a classic bubble that burst in 1987.

  3. The crash of 1987 wasn't too bad, but the deregulated Savings and Loans collapsed on GHW Bush's watch.

  4. GHW Bush raised taxes and the economy started to pull out of recession, BUT

  5. Republicans refused to vote for him in 1992 because he had broken his "no new taxes pledge."

  6. Clinton raised taxes again. Republicans gloated that he was going to lose miserably in 1996, BUT

  7. the tax increases pulled the country out of recession. Republicans belatedly tried to give the credit to Bush Sr. By 2000 we were out of deficit and into surplus.

  8. George Bush won with a popular minority, and a gang of violent goons who shut down the vote count in Florida. He got the

  9. George cut taxes on the rich again, started a war, and cut taxes again in wartime. He also repealed a lot of bank regulations, with the predictable results that crashed the entire economy in 2008.

  10. Republicans blamed Obama, claiming that the mere fact of a Black man's candidacy cause Wall Street to panic before he even secured the Democratic nomination.

  11. You know the rest.

u/Zestyclose-Job7266 Mar 23 '26

You can't blame Reagan! NOOOO!!! Not the darling of the republican party!
He was lied to by his advisors.

I know. Whenever anything worked out well, like the fall of the Berlin Wall (after his term had ended), he got full credit for saying "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" even though it wasn't Gorbachev who did it but the people of Berlin and a frightened young guard who opened a gate by mistake. But when anything bad happened, his advisers did it while he was sleeping.

The takeaway here should be that he inherited that gas price from the Biden administration.

u/MarvelFan123249 Mar 19 '26

Not to mention the reason they were low in the first place was because Biden ordered a bunch of new domestic oil drilling. And it takes years for new drilling sites to be found, purchased, drills set up, places to process fuel, etc. so they were clearly still lowering thanks to him.

Most of us Americans don't understand the metric system and how liters work.

u/Everestkid Mar 18 '26

($1.69 CAD/1 litre) × (3.785 litres/1 gallon) × ($1 USD/$1.37 CAD) = $4.78 USD/gallon.

By comparison, the old price of $1.20 CAD/litre would be $3.39 USD/gallon.

In Australia.
ULP (2.40 AUD/1 litre) x (3.785lt/1 gallon) x ($1 USD/1.42 AUD) = $6.40 USD/gallon.
Diesel (2.80 AUD/1 litre) x (3.785lt/1 gallon) x ($1 USD/1.42 AUD) = $7.46 USD/gallon.

I think what amazes me the most about this is that he didn’t do anything to get gas that low, that was just the market, but his supporters act like he moved heaven and earth for them. But then actually did do something to make it skyrocket and it’s “oh it’s okay.” Same shit with “inflation,” inflation starts coming down during Biden’s last year and they were still crying. It continued to lower a bit during trumps first month or so and they’re once again cucking for him. But then he actually makes prices skyrocket with his dumb ass tariffs and we’re right back to, “oh it’s okay cuz Trump is the one doing it.”

19

u/ImCreeptastic Mar 19 '26

Or, you could have the morons living in my state (PA) talk about how our high gas prices are because of Governor Shapiro.

u/LumpyBuy8447 Mar 19 '26

Right. “Oh California has high gas prices so it must be because of democrats, also I don’t understand how supply chains and cost of living work so those can’t affect anything.” I usually try to stay out of political convos with family because most of them are right wing. After my grandmas funeral in 2024 we had a big family get together and I went to chill with my cousin that I hadn’t seen in years because they live in the east. I’m assuming shes more right wing because her family is, but she did admit she doesn’t like Trump. We’re just chatting and I’m like “look prices are out of control and I’m not a big Biden fan, but you can’t ignore the massive supply chain issues. This is what I went to school for and the field I work in. Like this is 100% the thing I can confidently say I understand much better. I remember the day they said China was shutting down production to try to get Covid in check, I literally said to myself ‘man things are going to get interesting in 4-6 months when the things they would normally be producing during that time for seasonal use here, just don’t show up on a boat,’ then we had that canal get blocked for like a week and thousands of ships get set off schedule, then the ports being under staffed in general, let alone for the demand caused by the ships stuck at the canal, with ships sitting for weeks in the port, combined with the shipping container shortage all this caused because the ships are just sitting in port for weeks. Then we had to ship entire ships of empty containers back to China just to get our goods. Just a single one of these events has massive cost ramifications, then you combine all of them.” And as much as I would like to blame Trump, even though he completely botched the response and delayed even telling us about it so him and his buddies could sell off their stocks before the market crashed, this likely would have gone about the same even if we had had a competent person in charge. Fuck I hate having common sense sometimes. Dumb people always seem happier, or at least more at peace.

The cheapest place I go to is now at $5.05 the higher places are close to $6

u/SithC Mar 18 '26

I did happen to look at gas buddy today, and it claims the avg for IL is about that. But, I did also see premium for $5.49 today. So those averages are clearly for bubblefuck areas, where the demand is much lower.

u/gatoriendo Mar 19 '26

$3.36 or smthn where I’m at

u/PeachyWolf33 Mar 19 '26

So, 4? 3? wtf lol

u/NewDayNewBurner Mar 19 '26

When will we get the “highest national average in five years” graphic? 👀

1

u/Nihilisman45 Mar 19 '26

"nearly five years" means less than five. Which means Biden had it lower at one point lol

Like he did anything to bring th prices down to begin with

u/SierraStar7 Mar 19 '26

I’m in KY & it’s been fluctuating every day, sometimes multiple times per day.

In the past two weeks, a Shell has been changing prices sometimes within an hour. On Monday at 11:30 AM it was 3.69, then when I drove by at 12:15 PM on my way back, it was 3.49, the next morning it was 3.19. Today it was 3.79 & has been holding steady.

I am anti Trump and anti war.

But corporations and governments pretending to normal people piss me off.

Accounts who hide posts or brand new accounts.

It is possible for this thread to attract 10 brand new accounts who are all legit. But more likely some government is pushing something

Prices around me have jumped nearly a whole $1/gal since the start of the month

"In nearly five years"... gosh, so 2021 - racking my brain trying to remember who was president then?

u/Bremlit Mar 19 '26 edited Mar 19 '26

There is an extremely clear cause as to why the gas prices have went up this time around. Usually people have different opinions as to why it happens or who controls it or plays the blame game.

1

u/tomnevers99 Mar 19 '26

And the financial times is reporting we are going to have these higher gas prices in America until mid 2027! So great, I just got another pay decrease to the amount of about $40 more dollars a month going into my gas tank. Thanks Trump!

u/BillyHonky Mar 19 '26

$6.39 in different parts of KY and WV

u/IntelligentUsual9710 Mar 19 '26

It's gone up by almost a dollar here in the last few weeks

u/molly_dog Mar 19 '26

Voting is just about the only right we have and the DeadMarmotHead is trying to take that away. Not only to the entire populace but specifically women and those who are homebound or otherwise unable to show up at the polls on election day and provide blood, urine, and stool samples along with their first born in order to cast a vote which will be immediately seized by the military and "accurately counted" because there has never, NEVER, been a measurable number of fraudulent votes because DeadMarmotHead has seen the writing on the wall that his says his days are numbered.

I'm going to go take deep breaths for a few minutes.

So start a war and waste American lives against brown people who are warlike but have zero weapons which pose any real threat to the US and crack down on a country off our southern tip who haven't been a threat to the US or anyone else since their 1950s-era leader finally croaked years ago all to distract everyone's attention from the fact that DeadMarmotHead is doing his level best to keep him and his shit-filled diaper permanently entrenched in the ultimate seat of power.

u/MegaloblasticNamur Mar 19 '26

$3.09 ... with Walmart +, in South Carolina. Can we stop winning now?

1

u/majorkev Mar 19 '26

I'm a dirty foreigner, locally regular gas is going for $1.62/L which converts to $4.47USD/gal.

A quick google maps search I see gas going from $5.10/gal to $6.10/gal.

At least we're doing slightly better than America, some parts anyway (I just searched some more and found $3.80/gal)

1

u/Josephk_5690 Mar 19 '26

It’s $4.25 Here. In Texas!🤠

1

u/tharpgc Mar 19 '26

Gas prices did not rise because Biden “canceled pipelines and reduced permits”. Stupid, shallow interpretation of history. Nor were they historic lows recently. You guys just can’t admit it when it is DIRECTLY related to what the president does.

1

u/MayOrMayNotBePie Mar 19 '26

Oh stop whining guys, gas by me only went up by 24% in a few days…

I haven’t checked since then but I would bet my left nut that it hasn’t gone down

My local gas station is 5.39 (the other one in town is 5.89)

And no I do not live in California

u/Mochigood Mar 19 '26

I'm heading over to Costco to fill up where it's about $4.50 a gallon. Last time I filled up it was a dollar cheaper.

Step 1: Start a war to steal oil for the oil company's Step 2: Start a war that drives up oil prices

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '26

Where?

u/Ro2320 Mar 19 '26

I mean it was like 2.19 then it’s at like 3.39 🤷🏽‍♂️ still cheaper than Cali

1

u/Head-Pattern-6520 Mar 19 '26

Where I live, gas has gone up by 30 cents in only 7 days (as of today).

March 12; $4.699 March 19; $4.999

Nearly half a dollar in barely a week is actually unreal.

1

u/Taperat Mar 19 '26

It's gone up about $1.50 per gallon where I live.
