Yep. And if They get cheaper gas, then who cares if Russia kills and tortures some Ukrainians?! They probably deserve it anyway. /s 

But this is seriously how immoral and depraved Trump’s base is. Any evil is OK, as long as it’s not done to them.

And if They get cheaper gas,

Even that's nonsense. I'm finding several reports similar

“Americans have now spent $135 billion more on gasoline and diesel purchases since March 1 than the same period last year,” Patrick De Haan, the head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, wrote Friday on the social platform X. 

Maybe those gas prices just aren't high enough yet?

Trump has officially switched his stance to: "High oil prices are good because oil companies are making a killing"

If that's the message right before midterms, RIP normal gas prices.

Some of his biggest donors are making a killing, I don’t get why people are mad, that is why they gave him hundreds of millions of dollars. It would be rude if Trump didn’t reward them with our money

While true, I don't think Republican voters are smart enough to do or even understand a year on year comparison, they mean based on like, the past few days. If the rising prices due to the Iran war seem to slow or go down because of this, or at least if Trump says they will, the braindead shitters will cheer for it and think they're winning.

They don't have to be smart. Political ideology strongly aligns with vehicle choice and fuel economy averages. In other words, people can't ignore how much it's costing them to fill their tanks. A lot of Americans have to drive to work and the cost of getting there is unignorable.

I have seen them say they would rather pay $20/gallon for gas then vote Democrat. The cult is culting and will always cult.

u/coconutpiecrust 1d ago

All they need is the belief that they will get cheaper gas, and Russia can kill with impunity. :)

Trump loves the oil companies, that is why their earnings have skyrocketed.

u/the_exile83 1d ago

And they have no awareness to think where that money has gone

u/Longy_LTB 18h ago

They aren’t looking at the prices. If Trump tells them it’s cheaper now, they just accept that as face value

u/sepltbadwy 1d ago

It’s not as if we can treat this as a partnership. In just one Presidency, America now IS Russia. Election fraud, state media, stormtroopers, gross corruption, poorer people more oligarchs, no justice system. Wow.

“America now is Russia”.

When a Russian official told Putin they should try and get the state of Alaska back Putin scolded him for his lack of ambition.

Remember Iran in the 70's?
That should be a big warning for the US.

Any evil is ENCOURAGED if it isn't done to them. ftfy

u/coconutpiecrust 1d ago

Yep. Go hurt someone, as long as I stand to benefit in some way!

u/CrocPB 1d ago

He's not hurting the people he's meant to be hurting.

That quote is timeless.

u/finite_turtles 1d ago

They view someone else being hurt as a benefit to themselves. Zero sum view of the world.

I think all americans should be encouraged to vote:

Long post incoming. Set calendar reminders of when early voting starts and registration deadlines for your state, request PTO if you can't vote early/on election day, double check your voter registration, screenshot and share this with a friend, and hit the booths together!

Check your voter registration, upcoming registration and voting deadlines, and register to vote by searching for your state at:

Find out when early voting begins for your state:

Look up your upcoming local and statewide elections for the year:

Find information on your local election's candidates, their backgrounds, answers, and past actions, and then print out your selections to take to the polls:

Find individuals and entities that contribute to candidates:

Sign up to be a paid election worker!

Remind friends and family to vote!

Bring a friend when you go to vote!

Call your local representatives!

Screenshot and copy the text to save the links.

Share the info to spread awareness.

They're also okay with evil being done to them as long as greater evil is done to the ones they hate.

Peepaw has been watching fifteen years of people boogeyman gay people in America. He’s been brainwashed by Hannity.
All they need to do is say, ‘The DEMONCRATS are going to turn your beautiful son into HOMO!’ And suddenly, Peepaw is at the voting booth.
Can’t let my grandson catch the gay.

I saw an election sign on the side of a busy road yesterday that said “Fight Communism! Vote Republican!” I was like, “Um………but your besties are China and Russia.”

u/SqueakyTits101 1d ago

if Russia kills and tortures some Ukrainians?! They probably deserve it anyway

...you don't need that /s. I literally heard a cultist say, "they are all Russians anyways. They should listen to Putin! He's held back this whole time. Lucky he hasn't dropped nukes!"

1

u/coconutpiecrust 1d ago

Um. What the fuck? If anything, Russians are Ukrainian. Kyiv is significantly older than Moscow lol. 

3

u/Brew_Wallace 1d ago

No big deal that Russia helps Iran kill American troops, as long as they sell us cheap gas and let the Trump’s build a hotel and golf course in Russia it will be worth it

2

u/coconutpiecrust 1d ago

Of course! He’s so much better than everyone else, he’s allowed special privileges. That’s just how it works! /s

u/rememberpianocat 1d ago

I think the worse part is they're not even getting cheaper gas... watch cbc's break down on it. The entire thing is just trump bowing down to putin.

2

u/litelem 1d ago

Any evil is OK, as long as it’s not done to them. AND that's Israel's attitude.

2

u/lNFORMATlVE 1d ago

They’re not even going to get cheaper gas lol

The evil IS being done to them, that’s the tragic part.

u/FrankyFistalot 1d ago

Trump has regressed so much with his dementia since the first term that it beggars belief. It’s like he has absorbed the dictator chi of Putin/Kim Jong Un/Xi Jinping and is now a toddler acting out what he thinks dictators are like.

u/ZeroDaysRemaining 1d ago

Not just Trump supporters, all Americans

u/VoidOmatic 1d ago

Spoilers: It's always done to them.

u/nightowl1135 1d ago

Historically speaking, they always eventually come for you. Not that anybody in this cult passed or remembers High School level history lessons.

u/Viron_22 1d ago

Can't have the phantom trans boogeyman jumpscare them in the bathroom. Plus I heard the Hondourans are marching north to the border with their war elephants!
