While the Great Orange Baboon throws a temper tantrum and throws missiles at the sky after Iran has successfully fired back at American oppression, let me reiterate how bad this ‘ceasefire’ has been to everyday Americans:
Gas prices have increased by more than 30%, driving inflation to a 3.8% annual increase, wiping out wage gains and raising prices for food and essential goods. That 4th of July cookout you were looking forward to? It’s going to get a lot more expensive.
It gets worse though. The war has directly cost taxpayers an estimated $29 billion. It’s clear to me that Trump thought he could pay for his chess matches with tariffs, but they’ve all been struck down in the courts. And guess what? Refunds are due. 86% of Americans believe the war has negatively impacted the cost of living, with majorities across all political parties citing higher expenses for gasoline, fertilizer, and transported goods as their greatest concerns. We can see the impact clearly with hotel reservations: they’re not happening. Even with the World Cup. Gas and fuel are too high for average, hardworking Americans to take a simple vacation.
Since the war began in late February 2026, there has been a sharp spike in Islamophobic incidents, with over 25,000 hate-filled posts targeting Muslims recorded on social media platforms like X in the first week of the conflict alone. This digital vitriol has translated into real-world violence, exemplified by the May 2026 shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, where three people were killed. Trump’s games have led to the unnecessary harm and hatred towards thousands of law-abiding, peaceful Muslims.
And you retards think Republicans are going to hold onto the House and Senate in November? Seriously?
