What's even more disappointing is all the other people interviewed were entirely willing to pay more to "keep the country safe". That woman at least have some self awareness even of it's just about gas. The rest is all gone.

could she just possibly be even more selfish than the others, and it brings her, coincidentally, into alignment with a single reasonable idea. Like her selfishness disallows her to even lie to herself about the safety of the nation.
I take that over members of a cult. If your selfishness prevents you from participating in a ritualistic mass suicide, that is probably a good thing.
Thr same fucking people who'd put those Biden "I did that!" stickers at the pump will willingly ignore higher gas prices when their pedophile god-emperor causes it.

At least she is capable of some type of self reflection. More so than say, the entire republican party combined.
i was just talking about this earlier, gas prices are like the ONE thing americans will get upset about. food prices, housing prices, healthcare prices? cost of business
but if gas prices go up ONE DOLLAR (at 10 gallons/fill, this amounts to a $10 increase, so maybe 30% / $40-50 extra bucks a month if you're commuting; i wfh so i haven't done that in 5 years now) people start losing their shit
it's insane to me, and i live here
When your F250 gets 10mpg and you use it to commute to work it adds up real quick.

Gas and taxes. They'll happily accept massive price increases on everything else, pay hundreds of dollars extra a month for health insurance, rather than pay a small percentage more in taxes or on gas.

It's the unquestioned belief in Trump that beggars belief here in Europe. We have had our own issues with Hitler and most are 2-4 generations later who know where that stupidity takes us.

Good thing they got it on camera. Trump always needs Amanda Robbins cam.
Some people just can’t learn that lesson
These idiots will fall for it time and time again because they lack any form of critical thinking skills.

“In the long run, it’s going to help us out, because if they get nuclear weapons, you know, we might not even be here in a couple of years. I think that [Trump’s] done a good job,” he said.
Where do Americans get the idea that Iran gives a single fuck about the US?
Go look at the history of the nation's. It's like Iran just forgets the US exists. Then the US comes along to bully them about something, and Iran's just, "Why us?"

Well, admitting it is the first step.
