Drivers blame Trump as Iran war spikes gas prices: ‘He promised to bring prices down’
www.independent.co.uk
Less than a week into conflict with Tehran and drivers are already noticing higher prices at the pumps

The US is a nation that has monthly, if not weekly, school shooting massacres. I repeat, massacres. Of their own children. They did not rise up. Their president is a convicted felon, starting or agitating wars. Women, have no say over their own bodies. Black and brown people are at significant risk of unnecessary stops, arrests and death. The people did not rise up. Petrol prices increase, people begin to rise…

I have holidayed, travelled and worked with different Americans, with different political views. They are absolutely normal.

Is it really the minority of MAGA nutjobs that are so very loud, belligerent and unstoppable that are needed to get this Trump administration turned over?

Not looking for an argument, just devastated for my friends and family over there.

    Nah, it’s the liberals too. It’s almost all of us, probably myself included despite my efforts to counter the liberalism I was raised under.

    Liberals (i.e., ideological descendants of Enlightenment liberalism, including both Republicans and Democrats) don’t like the cosmetic vulgarity of Empire, but they aren’t against Empire generically.

    AmeriKKKan’s like the violence, they just think its current iteration is too icky.

    Until liberals openly reject Empire, openly rebuke the liberal monoculture, openly and militantly oppose capitalism, openly scream "No more AmeriKKKa instead of just “No More Trump”, only then would AmeriKKKans even begin to make good on our bellyaching about freedom and rebellion.
