Joe Biden gas price stickers haven’t aged well

  1. Personally I think they’ve aged perfectly. True he’s not directly responsible for them going up, but there were a lot of measures this administration took to drive them down. So using the President as the figure head for administration, saying I did this as gas prices continue to fall, is accurate.

  2. I have no doubt there are Trumpers across America sitting on cases of these stickers, waiting for the next spike, hoping for a hike that lasts months.

  3. Did anyone point out the circa 1 million needless deaths caused by the orange clown’s mishandling of corona? Oh wait , according to him corona is not ‘a thing’ and therefore 1 million American deaths does not matter??

  4. No Republican talking point EVER ages well. Lies are like that.

  5. I was at a wedding full of conservative military folks back in late 2021. They started a “Let’s Go Brandon” chant in the middle of the fucking reception. They have no shame.

    Side note: that was the first time I’d ever heard of the “let’s go Brandon” thing, and was thinking Brandon was the next person giving a toast.

  6. What’s really weird for me is the complete mask off identity politics.

    conservatives placed these stickers because they believed the president should have the overarching economic power of big government similar to a Soviet regime to price-fix refined gas and diesel.

    Liberals seem satisfied with the price drop due to expanded domestic drilling for crude.

    Ten years ago, these philosophies would have been opposed by the relative political leanings.

  7. All of a sudden the assholes who keep putting them up near me stopped…

  8. A lot of Republican ideas don’t age well. The stickers. The protests where they smashed Bud Light bottles. The Reopen America movement. I can go on.

  9. I honestly feel like this whole sticker thing was emblematic of how the left and right are just funadmentally different when it comes to empathy. I’ve never in my entire life seen liberals put stickers that are purposely designed to be hard AF to remove on gas pumps to ridicule a conservative president. Idk what it is with conservatives and their willingness to commit vandalism/violence in support of a political cause. Obviously liberals have done these things in the past, but let’s not pretend like conservatives don’t easily make up the bulk of these cases by a longshot.

    I think it speaks to what kind of person you are morally as a whole tbh.

  10. Nobody has more stuff with Biden’s face on it than Trump supporters.

    I own zero Biden things. I voted for him. It’s insane how much money these people spend on politics.

  11. **Joe Biden gas price stickers haven’t aged well**

    Indeed.

    What seems to be overlooked is that the president doesn’t ordinarily have much influence over gas prices. Since 2015 we are tied to the world market and world shortages become our shortage. The argument was disingenuous polemics, designed to sway the opinions of the poorly informed and get their undies in a bunch.

    Biden was being blamed for something he could not prevent, and now he should be getting credit for something he would not have much influence over either. But the haters will never acknowledge any of that. They will simply look for other things to attack him with and hope no one notices the hypocrisy.

  12. Now that gas is back to a decent price all the right wing talking heads have stopped talking about it of course. I still see some of them wanting to mention it only to stumble over their talking points. “Joe Biden has failed on so many fronts like high inflation, the high prices of ga… I mean the homes and interest rates and many other things”

  13. It’s almost like who’s the president has a very limited relationship to the price of gas.

  14. Nothing where you make politics your identity can ever age well.

  15. That’s why they the target audience for these stickers are the morons of society.

  16. The idiots who put them up aren’t capable of critical thought, so that’s kind of irrelevant.

  17. “Critics blame Biden for rising gas prices, while Biden blamed disruptions to global supply due to the Covid pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.”

    Hmmmm. Almost like Biden was 100% correct.

  18. I’m regretting all of those that I’ve peeled off, now.

  19. > Residents of Hong Kong pay the highest international gas prices, with 1 gallon setting them back $11.43. Iceland comes in second at $8.91 per gallon, followed by Monaco at $8.49 per gallon.

    Joe did that too? Thanks Joe.

  20. Days after Biden took office, these appeared. Either Biden or sticker distributors worked pretty damn fast.

  21. The only way Biden “did that” was getting the vaccine out and getting the country reopened after Trump let COVID spread unopposed hoping it would keep killing Democrats in populated cities, and gas prices tanked because no one was driving and there was no demand.

  22. Gas goes up in the summer, Gas goes down in the winter. Can’t explain that.

    Might as well blame Biden /s

  23. I thought everyone knew that the president has a magic lever under his desk to control the gas prices?

  24. It’s almost as if the president has very little control over gas prices

  25. Domestic oil production has hit an all time high under Biden. Bet you won’t see that on any Trump campaign propaganda 😂

  26. My favorite part of the whole “Biden sticker” wave; you would occasionally see a note from the gas station owner/manager saying, “don’t pull off these stickers. These stickers are placed here by management and removing them is destruction of property.”

  27. Some dude got arrested in my area for putting stickers on…
    He decided to not complie with the cops then resisted

  28. I still see them everywhere here where I live, even when the gas price has lowered they still think they’ll “stick it to em ” (literally)

  29. It’s not like the people who place these pay attention to reality anyway.

  30. (Puts sticker on pump) “hah take that libs!”

    Months pass and prices drop

    (Sees sticker) “liberal woke propaganda”

  31. Another perfect example of the right not quite thinking ahead.

  32. Something right wingers came up with didn’t age well?

    I’m shocked.

  33. According to my arguments with Conservatives, Republicans, etc. Joe Biden and his liberal policies are solely responsible for the increase in gas prices since he took office. No other factors.

    Remember that pipeline the liberals stopped? That huge mistake doomed our oil industry.

    OK, so now we have prices dropping – but yet, that savior pipeline is still not built!

    I point this out and ask if Joe can take credit for the drop in gas prices.

    And how about the fact that the US is producing more than ever, and more than anyone else? I just read that!

    Nope, not thanks to Joe, he gets no credit. I asked if, then, Republicans and their policies were directly responsible for the drop in gas prices and increase in production – and of course, HOW COULD THAT BE when Joe controls gas prices?

    Did you guess I didn’t get any answers, just obfuscation and name calling?

  34. its dumb to think a president controls gas prices directly.

  35. Gas prices will go up next year because MBS will want his buddy Trump back in, and there are people who vote solely based on the gas prices. Unfortunately they will never understand that the president doesn’t directly affect oil prices.

  36. *flips switch back to “it’s a complicated price set by many factors the president doesn’t control”*

  37. Honestly, whether it’s going up or down, who gives that much of a fuck. If you’re job involves driving all day long, maybe, but for like 99% of people it’s a couple of dollars a month difference up or down and people base most of their lives around it. Eat one cheaper meal a month and stop worrying about it.
