I wonder how difficult it would be to design a small set of stickers with Brandon’s mug and a finger pointing out that reads, “Democrats Did That!”
And sell them on Amazon.

I’m betting someone already thought of that, though.

Were California voters properly represented when the bill was voted down? I have trouble imagining that they really like high gas prices.

The California media will probably ignore this Republican initiative, but hail the Newsom proposal. The Dems voted it down so that the Republicans would not get credit.

I live in the heart of the Permian Basin
where oil/gas is the lifeblood of our
local economies.
Many trips between SE NM and Houston would
see convoy’s of tankers and service trucks.
So much so, that travel on US 285 was
hazardous. That flow has slowed to a trickle

Note: These taxes do not include the 18.4 cents/gallon federal excise tax on gas. The have a temporary cut on that tax will require Congress:

This is what happens in a one party state. The people lose all representation.

Believe it or not, a democrat actually proposed a gas tax holiday in Maryland.

Oh wait, he’s running for Governor. Never mind.

Democrats don’t understand the concept of supply and demand. The only understand demands.

“...sell them on Amazon.”

I see a flaw in your plan.

They sell the Brandon stickers all the time on Amazon. Making loads of money doing it, I’ll bet.

Sorta surprised Amazon hasn’t put a halt to it.

If they do, some other enterprising American will hopefully start selling them by other means.

Not to worry about Amazon, they’re all over eBay, walmart.com, and Alibaba (yes the ChiComs are cashing in on this too).
