This is because DEMOCRATS!
-Republican Voters UNIRONICALLY!
Someone online posted that the reason things are all expensive, is the Rs are trying to fix all the problems caused by Democrats.
I can't understand the mental gymnastics needed to come up with, and believe that statement.
I think it goes beyond mental gymnastics into mental contortionism.
Tell them to name one problem, and show their work that Dems caused it, Repubs are trying to fix it, and how that caused diesel prices to spike.
Spoiler, they can't.
"I was told there would not be fact checking"
Racism brings out the creative side in people, who would'a thunk it?
Wouldnt want an unstable woman in charge of things now, would we?

The difference in gas prices between California and red states is still bigger than the difference between before and after Trump attacked Iran.
Its up about the same percentage as Texas.
Texas $3.23 pre war, $5.81 current. California $4.66 pre war, $8.14 current.
Would like to see proof of that.
California has a history of importing fuel from Asia. Difficulty related to crossing the rockies on trucking. Though I'm surprised there isn't a rail option. Prices are much higher in Asia.
