They can blow all the smoke, and use all the mirrors they want but.... The American public is a lot smarter than they give them credit for. The voters are waking up to their BS and they're about to reap what they sow........

Democrats Look to Deflect Gas-Price Anger Toward Big Oil

Democrats desperate to blame rising gas prices on someone other than President Joe Biden as the midterm elections approach plan to put the focus on oil companies Wednesday, ABC News reported.

Instead of a sign that says "Do Not Disturb" I need one that says "Already Disturbed Proceed With Caution."

I think a lot of Democrats don't understand how a free market system works. Higher oil prices will mean more exploration and more production, which will eventually bring oil prices back down.

But they like to demonize the people who make things and create jobs, because they have a lot of voters who don't understand how things work.

They're either not smart enough to know how the free market works,
or,
they are smart enough, in fact they are so smart that they also know how to pretend that they don't know things so they can play along with popular opinion and popular outrage.

If the masses believe that the government can control gas prices, and you're elected to represent the masses, what would you say?

This is of course a problem with both parties, more specifically, with the people that both parties count on to vote for them.

Consider the number of people who are actually informed about the real issues and choices facing the country, and who, after becoming so informed, form their own opinion about those issues and choices. If they were the only ones who voted, turnout would be 20% on a good day.  Maybe 10%.  But neither party is going to unilaterally disarm and count on those voters only.  If one of them stirs up the ignorant masses for their side, the other one has to do the same.

Now consider that this two-faced two-party dance has been going on since Andrew Jackson first turned out the "bipeds of the forest."
