They just announced on the news that the oil companies are already using the Venezuela Invasion as an excuse to raise prices. Expect an expensive 2026, and tell them what you think of it in November.
They'll still vote red.... because they'll have been told that all of this is the blue teams fault.
if you heard the first time the farmers said when trump first did his soybean tariffs in his first term, there isnt any hope. they still think he come through for them despite him not doing that. ALso its a sign if the news doesnt report how bad the tariffs affected the farmers.
