  • For ten years I’ve been telling everyone how ugly this MAGA movement is going to get, and all the while, people have been pushing back with “You’re over-reacting, bro,” and then it keeps getting as bad as I said it would, over and over again, and I still keep hearing, “You’re over-reacting, bro,” and I’m just so sick of it! When will people finally wake up and realize the gravity of the situation we’ve gotten ourselves into?

    That having been said, you’re over-reacting, bro.








  • “…we’re making progress”

    Let’s check on their progress. One of the major complaints during Biden was gas prices. One of the things I explicitly heard Trump promise to do was to cut gas prices in half during the first year. This wasn’t some vague statement that could be interpreted another way. He stood up on the stump on camera and directly said that gas prices would be cut in half in the first year of his second term.

    The national average price of retail gasoline on January 20th, 2025 was $3.18 per gallon. Half of that is $1.59. What progress have we seen toward that $1.59 benchmark with less than 4 months to go? The national average price now is $3.17.

    One cent lower than $3.18. I guess JD is technically correct. They’ve made progress. We’re nearly 0.63% of the way there, two thirds of the way through the year. Think we’re going to make it?
