    Oh they did vote for this and are very happy. I live in a very rural part of Northern Nevada. My hometown is only 4000 people. I work in the mining industry since the Iran war has started pretty much everybody that works at my job doesn’t matter their age or their race. They are 100% behind Trump and are very happy to kill innocent brown people if it means the price of gas goes down.

      if it means the price of gas goes down.

      Wait until they realize oil skyrocketed over the past 3 days… But of course that’s merely just a coincidence.

        Those darn dastardly Democrats trying to make Trump look bad by Bidening the price of gas!

      I live in the twin cities but work in a more rural area of Minnesota and I agree, the rural deplorables may express a little distaste the day of but as soon as they get home and watch their Faux news to get their marching orders they are totally on board. I like to bring up how much gas prices have gone up since this started, $.60 and climbing around here. It’ll be higher than it ever was under Biden in a week or two of this, not that they’ll ever care.

        Definitely the same thing here. It is funny at times when there is something major that happens in the world and it takes usually one to two days before they get their information from Fox News or Facebook and then they make their decision on what to do or feel about it. It was interesting last summer when the first half of the Epstein cover-up started a lot of my hard-core Trump supporter coworkers really had their reality shook. Quite a few people have a bunch of Trump flags and stickers on their house and cars, etc. all of that came off by the fall, but as soon as Trump invaded Venezuela, everything came back up and they are fully on board for the bullshit.
