Yes, yes, and yes. This is exactly what I'm seeing happen.
Those right leaning folks who were most vocal about how Biden was at fault for the last time egg prices went up are now suddenly fully willing to blame it on bird flu and not worried about it because prices will come back down soon. And already the increasing rate of inflation isn't the president's fault, inflation is high all around the world, there's little the president can actually do to control it, and it's actually Biden's fault. Funny how that works.

It takes a minimum level of introspection and critical thinking for someone to recognize that they're a low-information hypocrite who parroted back what the media told them until they believed it. Combine that with the type of personality who thinks everyone else is a propaganda-brainwashed simpleton except them, and it brings us to today—where people still justify, argue for, excuse, and defend people acting against their interests.

It's because stupid gets amplified. The other side doesn't play these games typically with the same energy as the right. Mainly because they're mocking how stupid it is than actually believing it. Then you still have some people in the middle, somehow, or maybe some younger folks that are like: that's a good point!

It's a good time to remind everyone that then-VP candidate couch fucker JD Vance stood in front of a display case of eggs saying that they were expensive as $4 when signs behind him clearly show the price of $2.99
-
I'm all for knocking down Vance for saying obviously non-factual shit, but this is a terrible example. He's not looking at any pricetags there except the ones behind him on the right (his left), very briefly, which are all, actually, around $4. He's shooting from the hip and uses the realistic price that came to mind and may even be the average price where he lives.
There's lots better examples. This isn't one.

Yeah man, the high profile person in a situation that was easy to rehearse and hard to fuck up definitely just misspoke in a way that affirmed his beliefs and spread misinformation to millions of Americans, strengthening his team's claim to the throne.
It was totally benign and nothing negative happened recently that was directly tied to misinformation like this.

This is blatantly false. Clearly MAGAts would never touch an econ 101 book because they're too dumb to be able to read.
-
Econ 101 is liberal propaganda. They'd rather use much more trustworthy sources, like uneducated neckbeards ranting on YouTube.

Or a editorial in the Wall Street journal written by someone paid to be a mouthpiece for capital

Oh but they'll readily pretend to recite from it now while holding it upside down none the wiser. Don't forget this is post truth 'Murica, bitches! 🤘

I reject your reality and substitute my own... MAGAntra
-
-
I feel like using that quote as a "MAGAntra" is an insult to Adam Savage.
-
I forget which one, but there's a b-movie that uses this quote.
I like to think Adam is using it ironically, whereas the MAGAts is it as a battle cry.

It's not even exaggerated, here's some on sale eggs.... Basic store brand too.
-
Hey but THREE packs of cookies for less than the cost of 18 eggs!
-
Cookies may contain egg, too! Fucking BARGAIN

Man, I never thought I'd appreciate being in a town with a ton of poultry industry.

Thanks Obama...

It’s frustrating cause even when republicans are complaining, they are already being hypocrites from the shit their politicians did last time.
It’s a vicious cycle fucking cycle of hypocrisy.
-
It's been like this for decades. Republicans wreck the economy, but it takes a minute so the effect isn't seen until a Democrat is in power. The democrats fix it, then the Republicans get back in and fuck it up again.
Only this time the democrats aren't going to regain power.

The price of eggs has nothing to do with the president. Bird flu is literally the explanation.
Over 41 million domestic birds have been culled in the past two months.
-
Yeah buddy we all know this. We knew it then. We knew he was lying. He promised he would lower the prices of eggs day one. He's a liar. But he made the promise, so as stupid as is I'm going to keep holding him to it. I'mma keep bitching.
-
I mean. He is also taunting the NIH, CDC, and WHO. That's gotta account for something, right?
He does have some control there. I'm sure bird flu containment would be a bit better handled without kneecapping the CDC.
-
That's the joke

“This idea that science cannot continue until there’s a political lens over it is unprecedented,” said Anne Schuchat, a former principal deputy director at the CDC. “I hope it’s going to be very short-lived, but if it’s not short-lived, it’s censorship.”

Gas prices also dropped during Biden and now that Trump is president hell get all the credit
-
False, they'd just blame immigrants and China
-
"why IS eggS?" That sounds weird...
-
I mean......that's kind of the point.
