    I’m just not that “type” of person, so I’m truly holding myself back from saying something about this to my conservative relatives.

    Just like when Biden was president, I know for a fact that the price of eggs is not a thing that the president controls, but you would have thought it was based on how conservatives presented things the past 4 years.

    All of a sudden my conservative family and friends are either quiet on the topic or they’ve had a revelation that the prices are due to external factors like bird flu / supply & demand and that the current president has little to do with things. Funny how that works.

    They voted for the guy that said he’d lower prices. They voted for the guy that they swear “life was better under”.

    The difference is, I can afford as many eggs as I want at these prices without even noticing. They can’t.

      But didn’t you say it was blahblahs fault and not because of supply and demand, then just keep saying that while laughing at them, it wouldnt effect a normal person but shit like that breaks down maga ppl, you just gotta act like a bully on a playground, keep repeating yourself, dont let them speak, etc. they always break when you use their own tactics agains them insanely fast and kinda sad to see

      I’m waiting for “I did that” stickers the next time gas goes up. I’ll be waiting forever.
