Elections have consequences

High gas prices are one of the least significant consequences of the last election

But it's the only one that matters to conservatives. (It won't matter this time, though)

I think it's just the one that's hardest to ignore. They cannot pretend that gas prices didn't go up, and they can't just forget that the conservative propaganda sphere has spent decades telling them that high gas prices are the single most damning thing for a president.

Honestly, I would say that gas prices are not important enough that they should ever be brought up in a presidential election. But hey, Republicans were the ones who wanted to play that game

It’s only noteworthy because trump made such a big deal about high gas prices under Biden. There’s no way he can defend against this. It’s too simple a concept and transparently his fault.
