[u/Angryatchairs]

Wait, I'm confused. Non-American here, hi. Aren't those kind of trucks/utes usually right wing/conservative status symbols??

[u/SAHDSeattle → u/Angryatchairs]

Hi. American here. Yes they are.

[u/Barrenechea → u/SAHDSeattle]

Hi. Albertan here. Canada's Texas. And yes. The louder the better. The blacker the diesel smoke the better.

[u/rollin_a_j → u/Barrenechea]

Texan here, love your country hate your province. Do what you can to de-texan it before the infection is irreversible!

[u/BabylonPhoenix → u/rollin_a_j]

Hey, New Jersian here. Fuck everybody, love noone. Aight, thats all

[u/Necessary_Contact258 → u/BabylonPhoenix]

New Yorker here. Fuck you, buddy!

Philadelphian here - fuck youse, go birds!

Mets fan here: Phuck the Phillies.

Swinger here...we all fucking?

[u/C_mo_green → u/Amazing-Barnacle9251]

Fuck the birds

[u/Surface13 → u/Necessary_Contact258]

Californian here. I'm not your buddy, pal

[u/Gustav_Grob → u/Surface13]

Seattlite here. Whatever, nevermind.

[u/reynvann65 → u/Gustav_Grob]

Saskatoooooon you fuggin looooon!!!!

[u/preclose → u/Surface13]

I'm not your pal, guy.

[u/Ok_Spell_597 → u/Barrenechea]

I'm a Dem who does drive a full size truck. But it's 27 y/o, and has 300k mi. It's clearly a bucket. Had a dude in a lifted 2500 with those spaced out wheels roll coal on me thrice omw to work. Like wtf? Gas is $4.50 a gallon, and your diesel is $6.50, my guy.

[u/reynvann65 → u/Ok_Spell_597]

He don't care. He's public ally humiliating you, all the while shaming himself. And 6.50??? A gallon??? No! He's happy to pay 13 a gallon as long as it hurts you!

Let that moron roll coal his way into bankruptcy, because why not? If his Dear Leader can bankrupt a frickin casino, the what the hey, yatahey???

[u/PlaneAsk7826 → u/Ok_Spell_597]

I had a guy roll coal on me yesterday when I was loading up my trunk for a road trip. I laughed as he drove past, so he turned around and did it again. He must feel so proud spending $10 to do that to me.

[u/Clairegeit → u/Barrenechea]

We call them Yank Tanks here is Australia; it's not a term of endearment

[u/Background_Sky8905 → u/Clairegeit]

I don’t understand the American obsession with big trucks. Most of us have no need for it. I have a midsize (maybe smaller) SUV that can fit 5 people with room in the back for luggage. These other vehicles on the road dwarf my SUV. Even luxury vehicles in America have to be giant. It’s so dumb.

[u/foldingpages → u/Background_Sky8905]

It’s a tough guy thing. Like guns and cowboy hats. Where I live there are as many pickups as cars. Sometimes they’re all lined up in a parking lot like some kind of contest. Tractor supply maybe. But they’re really just getting dog food and mums.

[u/Charming_Leg_509 → u/Clairegeit]

Wank Tank

[u/Barrenechea → u/Clairegeit]

This actually made me laugh.

[u/Unhappy_Junket1003 → u/Barrenechea]

Diesel is the only thing that like that's black.

[u/Old_and_Snarky → u/SAHDSeattle]

Yep, liberals are usually mocked for driving hybrids and electrics.

[u/Ruger22fun → u/Old_and_Snarky]

I had a buddy make comments about the 2007 forester my wife drives… I told him I stopped caring what other people thought about the vehicles my wife and I use to get from point A to point B, as long as they were safe to drive and had decent A/C

[u/Pure-Ordinary-8698 → u/Ruger22fun]

Our backup that I drive is a paid off 15 yo Toyota Corrola with hail damage and busted front bumper. I'm glad I got to that age to not care either.

[u/Pure-Ordinary-8698 → u/Old_and_Snarky]

Liberal Anerican here and we traded in for an electric. We have free nights through our electric provider and have not paid for gas or electric to drive in over a month now. Wife drives 100 miles round trip every weekday so works out great.

[u/terrierhead → u/SAHDSeattle]

So much so that I was confused by this meme, initially.

[u/Ill-Dependent2976 → u/Angryatchairs]

It's not just a republican status symbol. They purposefully pay for mechanics to ruin the engines just to cause more pollution and use more fuel just to offend the liberals.

They call it 'rolling coal.'

[u/boatenvy → u/Ill-Dependent2976]

It's kinda reassuring knowing that every time they pull that trick and push all that unburnt diesel through the cylinders it's tearing the rings and cylinder walls to hell. "Look at me I'm destroying my truck to own the libs"

[u/shibiwan → u/boatenvy]

Next time report them as gross polluters to your local air quality enforcement department. This will usually result in the following:

1. They have to bring their vehicles in for emissions/pollution testing, sucking up their precious time

2. If it's discovered that the emissions control system has been tampered with, the owner will receive a pretty large fine (this is primarily driven by the Federal Clean Air Act)

3. The vehicle owner will also have to spend money to fix the issue if they want to continue driving the vehicle

4. If the illegal modification was done by a shop, they will have to declare who did the work, or where they purchased the modification kit if they chose to DIY

5. The shop doing/selling such mods will be heavily fined (multi-million dollars) and often made to shut down

The more people report a vehicle the better. That usually alerts the authorities to start taking action.

[u/Old_Quality1990 → u/shibiwan]

I don't know if it breaks any laws anymore. Trump rolled back some laws and issued pardons recently for two guys in Alaska who were purposefully removing equipment and trucks and putting in equipment to help trucks pass emissions the volkswagon way.

[u/Tikaralee → u/shibiwan]

*Only vaild in states with emmission laws..... Hoosier here, they don't care.

[u/Ill-Dependent2976 → u/boatenvy]

Sometimes I'll see a large commercial truck with black smoke coming out the exhaust. And I think "oh, no, either they've just blown some kind of valve or gasket. Or the trucking company's books are in such dire straights that the maintenance can't keep up with proper repairs. The profit margins are so short that a single haul can make or break a company." It's like seeing a small older model car early in the morning clearly trying to get to work with the blue-white smoke, because they just need an oil change. Then I see some dipshit in his lifted pickup with the same smoke and I just laugh.

[u/Fragrant_Major_9553 → u/boatenvy]

Fun fact: a properly tuned diesel without any emissions equipment (DEF, DPF, EGR) will only put out a puff of black smoke on initial full throttle.

Rolling coal is caused through over fueling, which is hilarious to me just on the fact that they’re bitching about fuel economy while literally wasting their fuel.

[u/Aeoyiau → u/Ill-Dependent2976]

I watched this chucklefuck roll coal on first an old man hobbling down the sidewalk which pissed me off, but then he did it to a like, 3 year old and her mom while she was learning to ride her little bike. Livid. Absolute monster move.

I ended up [coincidentally] following this stinky ass mofo guy all the way to my neighbors house. It was the contractor they had working on the house. Ive made it a point to tell as many people as possible who he is as a person, and i know its lost him some work. Hope his tiny PP still feels so big.

[u/Disastrous_Minute_56 → u/Ill-Dependent2976]

This is why they don't believe in sending their kids to college. So they can buy $80,000 Cummins brodozers instead.

[u/OMGitsTK447 → u/Ill-Dependent2976]

Oh yeah I’ve seen a bunch these videos.

[u/greenwhiteredblack → u/OMGitsTK447]

The last anniversary I celebrated with my ex wife was a trip to Tennessee. This was the height of the Let's Go Brandon silliness. We saw, I kid you not, a mini convoy of 6 trucks rolling coal flying those stupid flags.

[u/OMGitsTK447 → u/greenwhiteredblack]

Yeah that’s so idiotic. I mainly remember those videos where they rolling coal next to EVs and Hybrids.

[u/Rude-Cartographer369 → u/Angryatchairs]

Correct! I doubt a conservative made this meme, as I think it was a foreign agitator who thinks all Americans drive big trucks or SUV’s.

[u/PokecheckFred → u/Rude-Cartographer369]

Ooooohhhh, that's a BINGO!

[u/VIDGuide → u/PokecheckFred]

You just say "bingo."

[u/CommanderGoat → u/Rude-Cartographer369]

That makes the most sense because this meme makes no sense.

[u/lazy_literary_hero → u/Rude-Cartographer369]

Either that or Richard Cheeseburger Hammond.

[u/shadowwolf212212 → u/Rude-Cartographer369]

With a name like clint reep I suspect you hit the nail on the head.

[u/wow_that_guys_a_dick → u/shadowwolf212212]

It's no Mike Truk but it'll do.

[u/Bright-Outcome1506 → u/Angryatchairs]

My neighbor has a f350 with a GIANT American flag on the back….. he bitches about the cost of gas CONSTANTLY. I’m sure the drag the flag causes is minimal… but it adds irony to scene.

[u/Masochist_pillowtalk → u/Bright-Outcome1506]

Ill bet he doesnt tow shit with it either, huh?

[u/Bright-Outcome1506 → u/Masochist_pillowtalk]

The flag is in the hitch and he doesn’t own a trailer.

[u/arkiparada → u/Masochist_pillowtalk]

They’re called pavement princesses for a reason.

[u/Masochist_pillowtalk → u/arkiparada]

I worked a railroad job and the office trailer we did shift change at was a dirt road around a mine site. So it was maintained. Had a kid with a giant diesel lifted and tires spaced the fuck out. Sounded like a jet when it started. He would drive that bitch like 8 miles an hour on the dirt road. Meanwhile im blowing past him in a scion tc.....

He started complaining about gas driving out there so I told him to get a beater car to drive out here instead of his monster truck. Said why do you think I drive that scion? Cuz i like it?

He went and bought a crown vic.

Can't fix stupid.

[u/Imightbeafanofthis → u/Bright-Outcome1506]

Mine too. And he blames it on Governor Newsome (we're in California). When I ask him to make that make sense his response is, "Well, you know..." That's it.

[u/No_Sense3190 → u/Imightbeafanofthis]

CA gas is definitely more expensive. There are two reasons for it, and Democrats are responsible for both. Whether you blame them or thank them is up to you.

1) Gas taxes. These largely pay for the maintenance and upkeep of our 177,000 miles of roads (nearly 400,000 lane-miles). With all the EVs in our state, car registration costs have risen to offset the EVs not paying gas taxes.

2) CA's special gas blend. California mandates a special blend of gasoline that burns cleaner and produces less pollution. It costs more because fewer refineries produce it. It DOES work to reduce pollution, though. Take a look at tv shows and movies set in LA during the 1960s. Think smog's bad now? It used to be far, far worse.

[u/Traditional_Age4910 → u/No_Sense3190]

So when Arnold was governator, there were no taxes?

[u/Gimetulkathmir → u/Traditional_Age4910]

Also amusing he just lies and blames the Democrats. For the first one, California jacked up their gas tax in 2017. In 2018, voters were asked if they wanted to repeal the tax. They voted to keep it.

As for the second one, CARB (responsible for the blend) was formed when Regan was in office. It was rolled out in three phases, during all three of which had... Republican governors.

[u/Ugliest_weenie → u/No_Sense3190]

Thats not why gas prices are high right now.

They're high because if this dumb arse war

[u/Cynthja → u/Bright-Outcome1506]

Is the flag faded and torn?

That's how you know a 'real' American from the ersatz ones who follow the Flag Code.

[u/Cybermeld → u/Angryatchairs]

MAGA self owns themselves a lot because they are dumb.

[u/Icy-Cow9695 → u/Angryatchairs]

90% of conservative accusations are really just them projecting.

[u/Friendly-One-6965 → u/Angryatchairs]

It was now they decided we on the left are the gas guzzling chuds out of left field. It's getting really really fucking weird.

[u/PirateSometimes → u/Angryatchairs]

Yeah MAGA coping when driving their F150s and spending $100 more a full tank think that everyone has that, and then they'll blame Biden. Absolutely the stupidest people support trump, and we're glad they suffer, but unfortunately it just doesn't just hurt them. Like they say, MAGA will eat shit to have liberals smell their breath

Edit: Just*

[u/Formal-Suspect3519 → u/PirateSometimes]

You can tell that some of these truk have never seen a day of work in their lives besides going from point A to point B.

[u/zowie2003 → u/Angryatchairs]

They absolutely are. They're the most obnoxious people, driving around like entitled nascar wannabes with their parking lot nuisances covered in Trump paraphernalia.

[u/unfinishedtoast3 → u/Angryatchairs]

Liberal American here

Yes. I drive a Chevy Volt. I have an old pick up in the garage I use a few times during the summer to haul lawn waste away with

[u/gravyjackz → u/unfinishedtoast3]

So then why are you complaining about gas prices, lib?!!! /s

[u/StockCasinoMember → u/Angryatchairs]

Yes

[u/USB-SOY → u/Angryatchairs]

A bunch of manly men impressing other men with their truck accessories.

[u/brudolcreative-69 → u/USB-SOY]

And then crashing grindr when they all get together, the truck stuff is just flirting

[u/poopiebutt505 → u/USB-SOY]

Men are always preening for the other men. Wanting to know if their manly shows up big enough.

[u/whiterac00n → u/Angryatchairs]

Yeah, I drive a fucking Subaru. And even if I wanted a truck it sure as shit wouldn’t be one of those 2 story ford/chevy/dodge trucks.

[u/zimbabweinflation → u/Angryatchairs]

Uh oh! Did you just play a round of "Are you smarter than a conservative?"

[u/Lackerbawls → u/Angryatchairs]

Short answer, yes.

Long answer, it’s pure projection because they are the ones that will fall out with their party over fuel prices only to forget in one election cycle because they are fucking brain dead. Not rape. Not fraud, not habitual lies. Fucking fuel is what gets them. Then they will still be conflicted with which parties fault it was which is usually neither but in this case it is a direct result of the fucktards trumps actions. That post also has a high probability of being a bot.

[u/Plightz → u/Angryatchairs]

Nope you're right. Once more Conservatives projecting the dems onto things they do.

[u/Available_Rub9939 → u/Angryatchairs]

Yes. You’re not confused. North Carolina conservatives are brain dead. 78 million people in this country are fucking cooked by Fox News and that entire entourage. It is a cult.

If anyone has any good recommendations for an industrial engineer, I’m increasingly considering emigration. I’ve got a great wife and daughter, we are quite progressive and friendly people and I know how to fix anything. We can be a strong addition anywhere on this planet. I’m sick of this third world shithole and where it is heading.

[u/golfwinnersplz → u/Angryatchairs]

Absolutely. As usual, this is purely MAGA projection.

[u/einhorn_is_parkey → u/Angryatchairs]

Don’t expect continuity from these maga dorks.

[u/Playful-Squirrel-332 → u/Angryatchairs]

Lefty here. Been driving electric cars for a decade.

[u/Tater-Tot-Casserole → u/Angryatchairs]

They are, I lived in Montana for over a decade. They're all pavement princesses.

[u/tickandzesty → u/Angryatchairs]

American here. I’m confused too. No one told them that they are the stereotype.

[u/TheAgedProfessor → u/Angryatchairs]

I won't say they are exclusively conservative status symbols... but there certainly are just as many, or more, conservatives driving big trucks and SUVs as there are liberals driving them... and they complain just as loudly about the price of gas (well, those that aren't so far up Trump's ass that they sit outside the White House chanting "thank you sir, may I have another")

I think conservatives are far more likely to mod their big rigs, though. You know, put that extra $100k into lifting and chroming out that $75,000 truck.

[u/random_sociopath]

Yes, it’s democrats and liberals that bought massive, ridiculously expensive trucks

[u/ClapTheBoat → u/random_sociopath]

Gender affirming trucks

[u/lagan_derelict → u/ClapTheBoat]

Penis extending trucks

[u/shibiwan → u/ClapTheBoat]

It's an emotional support vehicle to help them cope with their fragile masculinity.

[u/l3m0np1e132 → u/ClapTheBoat]

Gonna save your comment when go make fun of my step-family.

[u/red-man1138 → u/random_sociopath]

And have them rolling coal....

[u/PaladinHan]

Fucking fascists can’t even figure out what the goddamn liberal stereotype is supposed to be. Since when are they supposedly the ones driving giant gas guzzlers?

[u/Breno1405 → u/PaladinHan]

You mean democrats arnt driving lifted trucks flying like 10 Kamala flags! Drapped in their Kamala gear from head to toe

[u/Smooth-Camel6749 → u/Breno1405]

lol

[u/poopiebutt505 → u/PaladinHan]

And they can't math how much more expensive that increase is in a 22 gallon tank. I paid $5.35 for my hi test. 21 gallons add sales tax. Do that math. I was paying about $2.85 So, $30+ more a full.tank.

I am old. I buy brewed coffee, no dessert beverages,.so I couldn't quit my $2/free refill brewed coffee to make.up for this increase.

And why should I when this is a war.for.absokutely the reason is to keep Bibi out of prison.

[u/Poverty_Shoes → u/poopiebutt505]

In their deluded scenario, the liberal with a $75k pickup truck drives less than 100 miles per week.

[u/WadeSlade42 → u/Poverty_Shoes]

Well, obviously liberals don't work, so they don't need to drive anywhere! Besides, why would they leave their 400k house?

Now, how did they afford a 400k house and 75k truck with no job? Welfare.

/s in case it's needed

[u/abobslife → u/PaladinHan]

The bot that made that probably is based out of a different country anyways.

[u/TheMostRed]

Gas prices was supposedly one of their reasons they were voting for trump in the first place. That and no new wars.

[u/vigbiorn → u/TheMostRed]

I also remember the price of eggs was a massive issue.

It's almost like he doesn't just not hold his promises but actively worked to punish us for daring to not bow and worship him.

[u/Easy-Bathroom2120 → u/TheMostRed]

They really do have short memory. I was told they wouldn't vote for him at all unless he'd get gas down.

But for what it's worth, I don't see any MAGA gear anymore at my job. Used to be, id get like 5 people a day just decked out in it. But now, they just don't, which is saying something this close to an election.

[u/H0SS_AGAINST → u/TheMostRed]

And freedom of speech

And releasing the Epstein files

And eliminating the "deep state" corruption

[u/Asleep-Raise5872 → u/TheMostRed]

You are forgetting about the racism.

[u/kscott93 → u/TheMostRed]

Those are the regurgitated responses they heard on Fox News just before the election.

[u/Sixfeatsmall05 → u/TheMostRed]

It’s almost like it was about anti brown and trans the whole time. The eggs just made themselves feel less bad

[u/shalegac → u/TheMostRed]

And releasing “the files”.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Two7358]

So when Biden was president gas prices were a complete breakdown in civilization, but under Trump it’s no biggie?

[u/PokecheckFred → u/Puzzleheaded_Two7358]

Weeelllll, ya see, that's because Biden's high gas prices were caused by externalities, while Trump's high prices were the direct consequence of Trump's actions.

So clearly it's Obama's fault.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Two7358 → u/PokecheckFred]

Of course, Barack Hussein obo,a is to blame for everything Donald insane Trump sees

[u/Inevitable_Nail_2215 → u/Puzzleheaded_Two7358]

So what you're saying is you WANT Iran to have nukes, right?

This is patriotic gas prices.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[u/Scared-Debt6750 → u/Inevitable_Nail_2215]

I want them to NOT have the nukes they DIDNT have before we attacked them because of Obama !

[u/No_Recording_1696]

$75K isn’t even that uncommon for pick up trucks these days. That’s just a higher trim on an F150. Even Raptors are more like $85K. $400K is a the median home price in the Country. What am I missing?

[u/According-Insect-992 → u/No_Recording_1696]

I live in Missouri and it costs $50-$60 to fill up the Impala. So I know those giant “F” series type trucks have got to be getting up there in tank costs.

I have seen several truckers in recent weeks paying over $1,000 to fill their long haul tanks with diesel and them expressing that it was a historical first for them.

Those trucks cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. It’s not like paying more for a conventional gas vehicle is going to make paying more for fuel easier.

[u/Do_Ye_Fear_Death → u/According-Insect-992]

Not a trucker but comparatively for a small car like my city civic, a tank of gas went from $28 to $42 for the same tank of gas. It may not seem like a ton but, for that jump its hard to stomach since theres no end in sight.

[u/Putrid-Mortgage6069 → u/Do_Ye_Fear_Death]

It is not that $14 per tank is nickles and dimes, but for arguments sake.... Over the course of the year, fill-ups will probably cost you more than an additional $1,000.

The best path for a return to normalcy is to vote Democrat for every office on your ballot this November. MAGAts and Republicans today are Incompetent, Corrupt, TREASONOUS! Following the lead of their great, orange shit-stain; the lord they have placed before God and Jesus Christ.

And, BTW, about those pesky Trump-Epstein PEDOfiles.

[u/Apprehensive-Pop-201]

Liberal here. I have a 11 year old Mazda3 with 290,000+ miles on it and a 13 year old Prius with 180,000 miles on it. My husband's 20 year old Jeep has 382,000+ miles on it. My kid both drive old cars, 2008 and 2013, too. People I know make do with what we have. Right wing Cons drive those big trucks, live in big houses and gripe constantly about the cost of things.

[u/OYB2480 → u/Apprehensive-Pop-201]

Rural liberal here. This is accurate.

[u/DaveAndCheese → u/OYB2480]

Ditto. I'm currently sitting in my 213k 10 year old paid off Chrysler. This is the 3rd car I've driven to over 200k miles.

I don't want a car payment with gas (and everything) so damned expensive.

[u/poopiebutt505 → u/Apprehensive-Pop-201]

Liberal here. Drive BMWs M versions. Gas is expensive. But I owe no money. Paid off house and car. Owned my own business, put myself through professional school and was one of the few.docs believing in universal Healthcare 30 years ago. Now that busines totally owns medicine, docs are starting to realize they are just paid algorithm markers to send to the factory program to tell doc what drug deficiency the patient has, or what part needs taking out. And 70% of the time.they are right, and the other 30% of patients will just be wrongly treated. Oh well.

[u/nameoftheday]

Wait people in big $75k trucks are only paying an extra $10? Don’t most of these trucks take like 25 gallons of gas? And gas is like 1.20 more per gallon than last year which would be $30 more. And if it’s diesel it’s like $2.50 more per gallon which is more than $50 extra per fill up.

Then again my math could be wrong.

Also isn’t $400k pretty average for a house at this point? At least in my area it seems to be. My house that was slightly less than $150k in 2018 is now valued over $300k. The only changes I’ve made is a remodeled bathroom, and trust me the upgrade is not worth an extra $150k.

[u/Accomplished_Self939 → u/nameoftheday]

Republicans are driving those trucks and the cost to fill that gas-guzzler’s tank has doubled since the war started. So nice they don’t give a shit about their people either.😏

[u/rip-rock-1949 → u/Accomplished_Self939]

The problem here is that the MAGAts cannot see how any of this has any impact on anybody who is even slightly disadvantaged, like all the elderly people living on fixed income who are now having to choose which meal they can eat today.

Oh, shoot! Forgive me! I forgot!

Being poor is a sing. Being old is a crime. Bootstraps, people! Bootstraps!

Even if you cannot afford bootstraps.

Our cute little American fascists are dumber than potted ficus.

[u/Isadorei → u/nameoftheday]

I used to budget $120 a month for gas, and I’ve had to bump that up to $200 for a Honda Civic (daily driver) and a Pilot (for whoever is carting the kids around). Both vehicles get wildly better gas mileage than anyone I know with a truck so yeah… not just $10 a week

[u/Trashusdeadeye → u/nameoftheday]

MAGA and math, they don’t ever add up

[u/Sophisticated-Crow → u/nameoftheday]

Where I live, $400k house is bargain bin cheap.

[u/chewy92889 → u/Sophisticated-Crow]

Same, like verging on being condemned, needs $200k of work to be livable.

[u/Jrodrgr375th → u/nameoftheday]

I’m currently house hunting and if I was able to find a reasonable house in my area for 400 I’d be thrilled.

[u/Upper_Command1390 → u/nameoftheday]

If the gas cost this during Biden admin these same MAGA dumb dumbs would be losing their minds.

[u/SunshotDestiny → u/nameoftheday]

Keep in mind that is per fill-up. Do depending on how often you have to gas up that gets even more expensive. If you have any significant travel time where you gas up multiple times a month that extra cost gets itself multiplied. Same for food prices because trucks have to use that same gas.

Also those other costs are low balling things as well. $400k for a house... Where? Alaska?

[u/Winter_Tone_4343 → u/nameoftheday]

Gas was 2.86 when Don bombed Iran. It’s now 4.59 where I live. Gas has quite literally cost me around two thousand extra for my work truck since Don tried to distract from being a pedo.

[u/culinaryexcellence]

According to MAGA, all liberals are blue haired lesbians. We all know lesbians drive Subarus. Subaru doesn’t make trucks.🤷

[u/Immature_adult_guy → u/culinaryexcellence]

I’m a straight man but I drive a Subaru and eat pussy. So I’m kind of an honorary lesbian I guess.

[u/Clever_Losername → u/Immature_adult_guy]

I’m a gay man and I drive a Subaru and suck dick so I think we cancel eachother out 🤝

[u/deathwotldpancakes → u/Clever_Losername]

I’m a gender-fluid straight male lesbian female (AMAB 😢) and also drive a Subie how do I affect the maths?

[u/Rosie_The_ITTech → u/deathwotldpancakes]

Sorry to tell you but your meer existence is the Subaru owner community is a quantic anomaly that might lead to a serious disruption of the very fabric of reality and to consequences like the end of the world as we know it or Subaru releasing a car with an inline four engine...

[u/Inevitable_Mistake32 → u/deathwotldpancakes]

I am a subaru.

[u/Parrr8 → u/culinaryexcellence]

The Brat was kinda cool though.

As many others have said, the truck for the democrats is unrealistic. However I think a deeper point here is wrong. I don’t know anyone mad that gas is expensive. It’s WHY it’s expensive that’s the problem.

If it was announced that there’s going to be some massive gas tax to fund clean energy, ev charging infrastructure, and large EV incentives I don’t know any democrats who would be mad at that.

Would the increase in daily expenses be fun, no, but democrats would realize that it is for the good of everyone and the future.

Instead we have a pointless war, killing children and families senselessly, further destroying the earth, and making us a world laughing stock. Just to make a few rich fucks even richer

[u/HoldenOrihara → u/Similar-College4253]

In north Carolina I don't think it's unrealistic; it's definitely some "our blessed homeland, their barbarous wastes" type cognitive dissonance.

[u/mightymidwestshred]

Mike Roger's wife was up from Florida handing out gas cards in Michigan to try to get people to vote for him.

[u/metal_bastard]

Okay, cool. So, now, Democrats are rich? I thought they were gutter rats taking free handouts to survive?

And, as an aside, the fuel costs for my work truck have doubled over the past 6 months. Ten bucks my ass.

[u/PineappleBliss2023 → u/metal_bastard]

Something something about how we can show up for protests because we don’t have jobs something something

[u/ciderfreak93]

I hardly know any Democrats that pay that much for a pick up truck. 99% of them are MAGA??

[u/TheTinyMaus]

Only way to get Republicans to care about prices and the deficit is to elect Democrats.

[u/finalattack123]

It’s WAY more than $10

[u/Number_Fluffy → u/finalattack123]

$30 used to fill my tank in Biden era. Now it's $50. So you are correct.

[u/JBRifles]

Wait DEMOCRATS are the ones buying $75k trucks and not MAGA!?!?!?

[u/H0SS_AGAINST]

They paid $10K down and $1000/mo for the truck.

Also, plenty...if not a majority...of overpriced underutilized truck sales are to people who vote red.

[u/korelan → u/H0SS_AGAINST]

Was just going to say that, like I thought we liberal cuck sisyboys all drove electric scooters and chick cars?

[u/McMarmot1 → u/H0SS_AGAINST]

And people who vote red tend to live in the suburbs or exurbs where they have to drive a lot more on a daily basis than all the libs in the cities.

[u/TellTaleTimeLord]

Wait...democrats are the one driving $75k trucks?

Since when?

[u/highhaileehere → u/TellTaleTimeLord]

That comes as a big surprise to me as I don't know anyone who drives big trucks other than repubs.

[u/SurrealLoneRanger]

Let’s do some math, since MAGA governors have cut education fundings and steered it elsewhere. Average miles per year is 12,000. So divide that by 52 to find out per week. 231 miles driven per week. $75k truck is either luxury SUV or luxury pickup. Both will average about 15mpg. Divide the miles driven by mpg and you will get gallons driven per week or 15.4gallons. Because of the Iran War, gas has increased about $1.5 more per gallon. So 15.4 gallons times $1.5 more per gallon gives you $23. The difference between $23 and what you said ($10) is ($23-$10)/$10 =1.3 or 130% (cuz that’s what percent means). Your AI cartoon numbers are 130% off! And that’s a lot.

This is why MAGA governors are bad for Americans, they create dumb kids who can’t do math.

[u/AdministrativePin526]

"Living in 400k houses". Also known in large swaths of the country as "a house."

[u/boulevardofdef → u/AdministrativePin526]

Almost exactly the median cost of an American home today, coincidentally enough.

[u/Not_Allowed_to_Die]

Americans - 'I can't believe I can't afford groceries.'

MAGA - 'Yeah but you paid for your stove, so you were able to afford that...'

Americans - 'What? I bought my stove while Obama was POTUS.'

MAGA - 'Obama charged you too much then and that's why you can't afford food now.'

Americans - 'What?!'

[u/DunkingTheSun → u/Not_Allowed_to_Die]

Maga is allergic to accountability.

[u/daddysbestestkitten → u/Not_Allowed_to_Die]

This made me realize I have never owned more than a hotplate...landlords have always been the owner of the stove and fridge...

[u/Ok_Breakfast5425]

I paid 17k for my car that gets 40 mpg on the highway and I live in an apartment, I wonder what their excuse will be when I complain about these bullshit gas prices caused by trumps illegal war.

[u/tedkaczynski660]

I like how MAGA propaganda operates on the knowledge that anyone who will agree with this take is dumb as fucking shit

[u/Expert-Ad3874]

The fuck kind of argument is this even supposed to be?

"Gas prices have gone up"

"AH, BUT YOU OWN A VEHICLE AND HOME!"

[u/Objective-Giraffe-27]

Maga is the biggest cigarette smoking, lottery ticket scratchers, Monster Energy drinking, Pajama pants wearing, Dodge RAM driving morons that have ever walked the earth. 

[u/Inferior_Jeans]

Aren’t liberals supposedly driving electric vehicles and hybrids? What next? Complaining liberal likes guns too much?

[u/SufficientCow4380]

I'm in an 87 Oldsmobile I bought for cash and that extra $10-$15 a week is a significant jump for me. I barely drive... my work is only about a mile from my house. I just work, go shopping, and take my dog to the dog park. I used to put in ~ $30 every payday and now it's nudging towards $60.

Plus everything else is more expensive because diesel is over $6 a gallon. Yesterday I paid $6 a pound for ground beef on sale... before Twitler took office it would regularly be under $4, sometimes as low as $2.89. We barely get beef anymore.

[u/Sconnie-Waste]

Boy, they just knocked the stuffing out of that straw man!

[u/Dyslexicpig]

Ten dollars a week? Seriously? Are they honestly pretending it is only a ten dollar per week difference?

Gas where we live in Canada is sitting at $1.95 per liter. Gas was sitting around $1.25 per liter a year ago. Our Toyota hybrid has a 45 liter tank. It costs over $30 more per fill up. Even with the great economy of the hybrid, it is more than $10 per week! And my truck hasn't moved in over a month - if I drove it as much as I used to, around fifty kilometers per day, it would be over $5 per day more.

[u/melowdout]

Democrats are buying $75k trucks? Really? Are we “rolling coal” too?… I mean, they’re just lying sooo hard.

[u/wlcoyote]

They’re saying only Democrats complain about gas prices because REAL red blooded Americans don’t care how much they pay for gas.

[u/DinosoarJunior → u/wlcoyote]

Yeah but only if a republican is in the white house, otherwise, its definitely too much for gas.

[u/Mother-Map1669]

Repubelickers were whining under Biden about gas prices whilst they were all driving their gas guzzlers, now that their cult leader is in charge not one peep.

[u/gollyRoger]

Wait I thought liberals all drove EVs and hybrids. Confused

[u/CTenko → u/gollyRoger]

That was my thoughts.

Since when did Libruls drive the manly trucks? I thought they were all wasting money on the Chevy Bolt. (/s Before I get pilloried.)

[u/Mainly_Miserable]

Libs love to roll coal!

/s

[u/Minute987]

No, we drive the small feminine cars. (According to you)

[u/OU812hmmm]

There's no Democrat complaining about $10 more per tank of fuel for his truck...it's the $35~$50 more per tank for their truck. Jethro Bodine needs to learn those Magots how to do rithma-tic. Duh

[u/onlyforfun38]

Burninthoughnsemocrats don't have jobs and love off welfare? So now they are the wealthy ones?

[u/Deeznutz69694206969]

Oh I thought the overweight purple hair people only drove Prius’s? Now maga drives them?

[u/Dangerous_Comfort549]

That’s why I’m outta fb, becuz you MAGAs are nuts.

[u/PMPKNpounder]

"Drink less lattes" energy

[u/kevendo]

It's not the $10 extra per week I pay to fill my car.

It's the extra $500 per week that truckers pay for deisel to transport our groceries. And the extra $8-10,000 per week the farmer pays to grow it.

[u/RebellionIntoMoney]

MAGA bitched about far less than that. Only standards they have are double standards, as they’re propagandized to the gills.

[u/AdmirableTie7222]

75 is full size truck prices...are the "libs" buying those in droves? I think not

[u/Tater-Tot-Casserole]

Democrats aren't the main demographic that drives those stupid trucks.

The Dems that I've known that drive trucks drive old Toyotas, fords, and dodges.

[u/Efficient_Problem250]

I live in AZ and Only Maga drive 75k trucks.

[u/speedxter]

Gas prices are not the problem or certainly not the “deciding” factor…it’s how, and why, we got here.

[u/tilapiah6]

Magas making up situations to feel superior lol. Around here (Trump country in rural SC) big trucks are a guarantee a person voted for him. Electric and hybrids used to be signs a person is a democrat but now that's unclear too because Elon. Anyway it's baffling how they'll trivialize anything to justify their "winning" team. Nevermind the Iranian school children killed in a new war they didn't want or the hundred other damping things.

[u/Aromatic_Doctor_2243]

Because Dems are the ones driving giant gas guzzlers whining about gas prices

[u/Fatalbananarama]

Well, the proverbial Libs are famous for loving $75k pickup trucks that they use as status symbols…

[u/BilboStaggins]

Imagine being so incapable of holding two truths in your head at the same time.

[u/Spacemoose2026]

Really now? I remember it being republicans complaining about gas prices when filling up their massive pavement princess ford f150’s when Biden was in office.

[u/mrcatboy]

I don't know about conservatives but when I see high gas prices I'm worried about how it'll affect the entire nation, not just my own savings.

[u/PickedLastLemon]

I have a dozen arguments against this 4th grade mentality.

[u/Not_Sure__Camacho]

Most likely brought to you by a bot that was posting propaganda about the cost of eggs 2 years ago.  

[u/Efficient_Exchange44]

Weren’t they bitching about gas prices under Biden?

[u/ModestMustang]

Every lib in my family drives either a Prius or 90s-00s “reliability-focused” cars. A buddy of mine who’s been a huge saver and casual investor most of his life has about $500k in assets and drives a clapped out 90s Ranger living in a $20k sailboat from the 70s.

The only people I know driving modern pavement princess bro-dozers are MAGA loving cucks.

[u/Mobile_Philosophy571]

Conservatives don’t want liberals to have nice things because reasons.

[u/Adventurous_Pay_5827]

$10 a week extra? This motherfucker just driving up and down his driveway once each day?

[u/EnvironmentalCrab563]

After November MAGA get’s to complain about the cost of living again. Most of them can’t wait, to blame the dems elected in November for the last 18 months.

[u/Bradparsley25]

Hold up a second there…

Let’s not pretend big ass trucks are completely owned by one ideology..

But where I live an easy 80-90% of big $75k trucks with a lift kit and 150lb tires that make it even less fuel efficient are owned by Republican maga chode dudes.

Thats like… *the* stereotype for a reason

[u/whimsical_spider]

“Living in 400k houses”

Sir that’s the average cost of a home in the United States, it’s not a mansion. The average cost of a car is around 50k.

“you’re mad about gas prices while having an averagely priced home and a somewhat more expensive than average car?! The audacity!”

[u/ObiJuan2080]

Ummm shouldn't that be the other way around?

[u/shinakohana]

And retirees living in a $800k to $1 million USD house complain that they have to pay higher property taxes due to the majority of whom they voted for. In fact, many think they should be exempt from paying taxes. But they refuse to also downsize.

Btw, I thought leftists bought electric/“rice burner” cars because they’re all environmentalist hippies? Now they drive gas-guzzling pickup trucks that hurt the environment?? Mmkay then…

[u/chiliguyflyby]

Uh, I'm going to go out in a limb and say that the demographic for $75k trucks leans red.
