Let's see... this shows the ratio of money spent on gas to your income levels. That means a higher ratio is more painful when gas prices spike and less painful with a lower ratio.

9 of the top 10 states for highest/worst ratio are Republican Trumpland. 9 out of the top 10 states for lowest/best ratio are Democrat majority states (with Pennsylvania being swing).

Republicans are really playing some 4D chess by allowing Trump to start a war nobody wants that causes huge gas price spikes when it hurts their base the most... months before an election where their jobs are on the line.

    The spikes in gas prices and health insurance premiums are doing more than any presidential debates have done in the past decade. Consequences are needed to get the attention of conservatives and moderates. Unfortunately, most MAGA supports are far too brainwashed.

    Don't worry, their all spouting off about how "the president doesn't control gas prices". Remember when gas went up under Biden and all the magats said it's his fault? Now their throwing back about "well the president didn't control gas prices then but now he does when it's trump?" Fuck I kind of wish I was half that stupid maybe I wouldn't be so pissed off right now
