To vote or not to vote… that should NOT be the question.
Yet, here we are heading into one of the most consequential midterm elections in American history, and there appears to be a right-wing movement to sit this one out. Or at least, that’s what the media narrative wants us to believe.
There is no arguing, however, that Republican voter turnout for primary and midterm elections has been, for the most part, pitiful.
Why?
The reasons are many. Voter frustration over Republicans’ refusal to pass common-sense bills like the SAVE America Act likely sits at the top of the list.
And now, as the social media algorithms tell us, high gas prices will keep disgruntled GOP and Independent voters home on Election Day.
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.
So that means President Trump is to blame for finally being the leader to take on the terror state of Iran.
What’s the alternative? A nuclear Iran in the not-so-distant future with its sights set on destroying America and Western civilization?
Just after recognizing the 25th anniversary of the horrific 9/11 terror attacks, continuing to kick the can on Iran doesn’t appear to be in the best interests of America’s future.
One can argue over Trump’s tactics in hobbling the terror state, but the byproduct of high gas prices has become another hook to discourage potential “Trump voters” from participating in their sacred and privileged right to have their say at the polls.
Leftists, blackpillers, and doomers have pounced on the gas price hike hysteria, claiming it’s part of Trump’s “failed” economy, despite almost every other metric indicating the economy is booming.

If you think gas prices are too high, drive less.
If you think groceries are too expensive, eat one less meal.
If you think healthcare is too costly, don’t get sick.
This is the Republicans plan to fix Trump’s failing economy.

Is this all part of the GOP’s plan to “fix Trump’s failing economy”?
Not according to facts:
WE ARE WATCHING AN EXTRAORDINARY PSYCHOLOGICAL BATTLE OVER PERCEPTION.
Turn on the media and you’d think EVERYTHING is dramatically worse under President Trump.
Then look at the numbers.

Y’all were quiet at $5.02 a gallon and 9.1% inflation. Now gas is $4.06 and inflation is 3.4% and suddenly it’s a crisis. The numbers didn’t change sides. You did. pic.twitter.com/t6GrskAh0B

As long as gas prices remain high, it will remain a loud and relentless talking point for the anti-Trump crowd. But the midterm choice is clear.
I’m sorry but high gas prices are not enough for me to vote for a communist.

Either Americans vote to allow President Trump to continue his progress towards a safe and sovereign country where its free citizenry can create, innovate, and prosper.
Or we sit home and slide back down to the over-regulated, DEI-dominated, gender-bending, fraud-abundant, open-border abyss.
Likely, forever.
