Sorry about your friend, but I’m pretty sure a lot more Ukrainians died since Biden came into office than during Trump’s term.

I never made the point that it didn’t affect gas prices, you failed to deny Trump’s impact on gas prices.
Huh? You argued here that Trump’s $2 gas somehow caused Biden’s $4 gas. That is patently false. Trump made decisions that increased domestic production, which lead to lower prices. Biden reversed those decisions, which drove the prices up again.
Again, we can argue about the environmental impact of those decisions all we want, but this is simple cause and effect. Arguing that Biden had no agency in the higher gas prices is nonsensical.
But Biden DID clamp down on domestic drilling (and canceled the Keystone pipeline). Is it anti-science to say that reducing the supply of a good will inevitably lead to rising prices?
You can argue that he did it for a good reason (to protect the environment and increase the sales of electric vehicles, for example), but you can’t argue that he didn’t take those steps without being aware of the effect they would have on prices.
Okay then. I’m done here.
“But I’m sure you’re white, heterosexual, Christian and male, so you’ll be fine.”
That’s what you said. Stop trying to weasel out of it.
You attributed my approval for Trump to race, when I had clearly stated it was due to his policies, not his words.
No, it’s racist to want to attribute everything to race.
“You’re white, therefore you want to oppress other people who aren’t.”
“Black people suffer because of the color of their skin.”
Both statements are incredibly racist.
How so? Did he tell China to release the virus?
Are you saying Trump’s $2 gas caused the war in Ukraine?
“But I’m sure you’re white, heterosexual, Christian and male, so you’ll be fine.”
How is that not racist and sexist?
Yes, Russia invaded Crimea during Obama’s administration. Then, magically, during four years of Trump, they didn’t do anything. As soon as Biden comes into office, they’re back at it again. Weird how that works.
There were also no major incidents in Israel or Gaza during his term. Definitely no full scale invasion. Oh, but those mean tweets!
Oh, you didn’t even notice?
Sounds like you have no problem with using racist language, as long as it isn’t directed towards you. Hypocritical much?
Biden’s failings are more in what he allowed to happen through inaction rather than what he directly caused.

Yeah, it was horrible. No war in the Ukraine, no war in Israel, houses were affordable and gas was under $2/gal. Absolutely despicable.
Deflection, ad hominem, deflection, ad hominem. Do you have any actual arguments?
You said, and I quote “Do you understand that the economy has momentum that takes years to fully manifest? We don’t live in a command economy, lmao.”
As soon as Biden came into office, he canceled the pipeline and put a moratorium on oil leases. Within a matter of months, prices started rising. Are you really saying those two things had nothing to do with each other, or that Trump was somehow to blame for this?
