Gas over $3 = Trump 2024.
Inflation over 4% = Trump 2024 with Repub supermajorities.

Americans need gasoline and need it affordable.

Inflation kills the party in power.

Facts; all the data about climate change, green energy, renewables doesn't mean ANYTHING if the republicans get back in. People can prattle about renewables or caterwaul about climate change all they want, but without keeping the white house it's just flapping lips and masturbating on the keyboard.

NOTHING matters if we don't win. We won't win if inflation and gas prices in particular don't come down.
