The cracks are forming pt 2 ($5 a gallon is the breaking point) [View all]

I posted earlier that I live in deep red Indiana yet cracks are forming as gas hit $5 a gallon and diesel went up to $6.19. Well I was at the gas station tonight and a guy that would normally strike me as a MAGA type by appearance commented about our work truck getting hammered with the price of gas then added “Trump better get this figured out.” I just said “I don’t think he knows what to do over there.” He just chuckled as he got into his truck and said “$5 for gas…crazy”. I’m telling you, in rural America the breaking point is $5. It’s the first time I’ve heard complaints and people seem pissed.
