Or at least, that\u2019s what the media narrative wants us to believe.<\/p>\n<p>There is no arguing, however, that Republican voter turnout for primary and midterm elections has been, for the most part, pitiful.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>The reasons are many. Voter frustration over Republicans\u2019 refusal to pass common-sense bills like the SAVE America Act likely sits at the top of the list.<\/p>\n<p>And now, as the social media algorithms tell us, high gas prices will keep disgruntled GOP and Independent voters home on Election Day.<\/p>\n<p>Gas prices have surged to $4.4386\/gallon nationwide, up over a dollar from last year. Tensions over the Strait of Hormuz and crude oil near $100 a barrel are to blame.<\/p>\n<p>So that means President Trump is to blame for finally being the leader to take on the terror state of Iran.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the alternative? A nuclear Iran in the not-so-distant future with its sights set on destroying America and Western civilization?<\/p>\n<p>Just after recognizing the 25th anniversary of the horrific 9\/11 terror attacks, continuing to kick the can on Iran doesn\u2019t appear to be in the best interests of America\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>One can argue over Trump\u2019s tactics in hobbling the terror state, but the byproduct of high gas prices has become another hook to discourage potential \u201cTrump voters\u201d from participating in their sacred and privileged right to have their say at the polls.<\/p>\n<p>Leftists, blackpillers, and doomers have pounced on the gas price hike hysteria, claiming it\u2019s part of Trump\u2019s \u201cfailed\u201d economy, despite almost every other metric indicating the economy is booming.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I CANT FUCKING DO ANYTHING WITHOUT DRIVING BECAUSE YOU BUILT THIS FUCKASS COUNTRY AROUND DRIVING A CAR <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xYGtXjQ16e\">https:\/\/t.co\/xYGtXjQ16e<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Du Rag iceman 2 (@mill_hunt) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mill_hunt\/status\/2100644771635068989?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 17, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">If you think gas prices are too high, drive less.<\/p>\n<p>If you think groceries are too expensive, eat one less meal.<\/p>\n<p>If you think healthcare is too costly, don\u2019t get sick.<\/p>\n<p>This is the Republicans plan to fix Trump\u2019s failing economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Travis Akers <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/72x72\/1f1fa-1f1f8.png\" alt=\"\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\" class=\"wp-smiley\" \/> (@travisakers) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/travisakers\/status\/2100669774090891343?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 17, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Is this all part of the GOP\u2019s plan to \u201cfix Trump\u2019s failing economy\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Not according to facts:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/72x72\/1f6a8.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udea8\" class=\"wp-smiley\" \/> WE ARE WATCHING AN EXTRAORDINARY PSYCHOLOGICAL BATTLE OVER PERCEPTION.<\/p>\n<p>Turn on the media and you\u2019d think EVERYTHING is dramatically worse under President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Then look at the numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Compared with the same stage of Biden\u2019s presidency, the figures being circulated show:\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Nl0Heg3if4\">pic.twitter.com\/Nl0Heg3if4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 AJ Inapi (Allan) (@aj_inapi) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/aj_inapi\/status\/2100917760943370293?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 18, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Y\u2019all were quiet at $5.02 a gallon and 9.1% inflation.
