100% the MAGA person will take the sticker off, march into the gas station and yell at the attendant…
but these are Christians...right?
Turn the other cheek refers to your victim’s, so that you may strike the other equally.
lol!
LMAO
They'll blame the attendants for "not being good Christians like them and taking it down immediately". They always have a way out through their collective delusion.
Let's start on this line of thinking
They're Evengelicals... which is by no means, scriptures or practice the same thing as Christian.
Depends on how closely they look, if they don’t notice the “dump ass” hat, they’d probably smile and nod at the sticker.
is crazy tho LMAO
There was a story back in 2021 of some maga folk getting mad at gas stations for removing the stickers.
It's also why people started to sell versions of the sticker that were specifically harder to remove.
They were upset that people were not tolerating their vandalism, so they deliberately made the vandalism worse.
It was fun until I was the one being insulted rather than the one insulting!
What exactly are you going to yell at the attendant for?
b-but freedum if speeechh!!
And the person they voted for, as I'm guessing they're republican, just voted TO ALLOW OIL COMPANIES TO CONTINUE PRICE GOUGING.
Fucking people today are something else. The amount of stupidity, ignorance and hate in America right now is a fucking disease and is killing our country...

Folks complaining that Biden “did that” I.e. made gas more expensive a year ago

Probably referring to their Republican house representatives.
It wasn’t hard to find this article by searching relevant keywords: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/5/20/2099118/-House-Republicans-vote-to-protect-price-gouging-oil-companies-from-investigation
Already proven they can't read, but they can pray up a storm like nobody's business.
Thots’N’Prayers.
Thots'N'Preyers
Did someone say tots?
Tots'N'Taters.
Snots n éclairs
It's cute that you think they actually pray. They say they will then don't. In public they might bow their heads but there are no real prayers going on. If they actually cared they would take action AND pray.
It's a great way to do nothing but pretend you're doing something!
I’m going on a cross country road trip this summer and I want a pack of 200 of these stickers for reasons
Etsy guy selling fake 100s with Trump Lost LOL on inside fold, a necessary provision for red state traversing
Link?
https://www.etsy.com/market/trump_lost_sticker
Just search Etsy for “Trump lost money”
Type it into Google and you'll get a day by day accounting of his entire life.
Thank you, I will spread joy and pain throughout Texas now.
They're beautiful.... Might have to pick some up for my next Midwest road trip
I have good money I want to give that man
Link?
LMAO here for seeing the pending link.
I bet you could get the "I did that" stickers at a steep discount that effectively send the same message now lol
Dark Brandon works better.
"Muuhh kid's happy meals cost more under Biden!!"
Those same people were also shocked that their tax refund was smaller after Trump cut taxes...
They won't recognize that they're being ridiculed
Meanwhile the same person owns a $70K Ford or GMC pickup, and laughs at people who drive fuel efficient or EV cars.
Where can I get a roll of these stickers

I just bought 20.
Even if they could read, they’d not get the sarcasm.
I somehow doubt they’ll get that they are being made fun of.
Putting stickers on a gas pump is a trash move even if I agree with the message
Amen to that. The attendants do have to take them off, and it's an asshole move to make their day more difficult because you want to meme on someone who doesn't have to deal with them.
If people are going to put these things on the pumps, at least don't use those cheap paper stickers that shred and leave a gross tacky residue.
To be fair, they put them on top of the trump sticker. They’re not adding any more work than the poor dude scraping them off already had
Trump would have lower prices, at the cost of letting Russia run roughshod over Ukraine. It's like when Sanders had to point out that universal healthcare would cost more in taxes, but the average person would save so much money on healthcare. There's a grain of truth to it, which enables people to hammer that point and ignore other evidence.

as funny as it is, I don't want to get into a vandalism contest with magas
Is that...Hawaii? Look at those prices.
Also someone sell me a roll of those stickers.
I almost believed this was put there by a real MAGA hatstand.
I mean, the spelling is dialect-accurate
In a way, I’m slightly impressed they made up a word.
What funny is you just know some Chud is going to get way madder about this than any liberal did about the "I did that" stickers.
Given those stats where its saying reading levels are like several grades below whereever they should be that meme might not be a mem much longer
The best part is that gas is so cheap right now. I can’t remember the last time I paid more than $3/gallon. Oddly enough, I also can’t remember the last time I saw one of those “I did that” stickers.
The "I did that" sticker crowd has been pretty quiet since gas prices fell to the 2.50-ish range in my area.
Omg I need these
Better to make stickers about oligarchs than working class people
Ask Joe Biden if he'd support nationalizing energy

Why vandalize the businesses property
How about we stop putting stickers on shit we don't own
The funniest part about the whole gas thing is it's so fucking dishonest. If a republican is president and gas prices go up, democrats scream it's their fault and the republicans say "the president doesn't control gas prices!", and then if a democrat is president and the prices go up, the same shit happens but reversed. Rinse and repeat every 4-8 years.
While I find the comic funny, the sticker on the gas pump is not. Just as stupid as annoying as the Biden "I did that!" sticker I had to peel off a gas pump a couple years back.
Who are "those" people?
Vote red🫡
If the OP knew how presidential executive orders worked he would be very upset.
This isn't cool no matter which side you're on
How is this any less cringe than plastering “I did that” Biden stickers on gas pumps?
It’s two sides of the same shitty, cringey coin
This is called a counterpunch

I mean, no? Maybe I’m just looking at this the wrong way. I definitely agree with the message, but when I see a green handle I think diesel, while the sticker is clearly mentioning gas, which is different. I work with a LOT of republicans, and I can tell you from their point of view, they’re going to look at the sticker and say, “these liberal (insert insult) don’t even know the difference between gas and diesel.” So I think the meme sticker doesn’t hit as hard as it could, in that respect. But hey, there’s no nationwide regulations on fuel pump handle colors indicating a specific fuel type. I’m probably just looking at it with a narrow scope of experience. Take care.
All posts and comments that include any variation of the word retarded will be removed, but no action will be taken against your account unless it is an excessive personal attack. Please resubmit your post or comment without the bullying language.
Do not edit it, the bot cant tell if you edited, you will just have to make a new comment replying to the same thing.
Yes, this comment itself does use the word. Any reasonable person should be able to understand that we are not insulting anyone with this comment. We wanted to use quotes, but that fucks up the automod and we are too lazy to google escape characters. Notice how none of our automod replies have contractions in them either.
But seriously, calling someone retarded is only socially acceptable because the people affected are less able to understand that they are being insulted, and less likely to be able to respond appropriately. It is a conversational wimpy little shit move, because everyone who uses it knows that it is offensive, but there will be no repercussions. At least the people throwing around other slurs know that they are going to get fired and get their asses beat when they use those words.
Also, it is not creative. It pretty much outs you as a thirteen year old when you use it. Instead of calling Biden retarded, you should call him a cartoon-ass-lookin trust fund goon who smiles like rich father just gifted him a new Buick in 1956. Instead of calling Mitch McConnell retarded, you should call him a Dilbert-ass goon who has been left in the sun a little too long.
Sorry for the long message spamming comment sections, but this was by far the feature of this sub making people modmail and bitch at us the most, and literally all of the actions we take are to make it so we have to do less work in the future. We will not reply to modmails about this automod, and ignore the part directly below this saying to modmail us if you have any questions, we cannot turn that off. This reply is just a collation of the last year of modmail replies to people asking about this. We are not turning this bot off, no matter how much people ask. Nobody else has convinced us before, you will not be able to either. ~

... yep, keep looking down on Republicans and rural Americans and see how well that'll work out for you.
Good luck.
Oh no, a vague threat. So scary!
👍
Not a threat. Just think that dems will lose in '24. That's what I was implying.
Ohh yeah, people are just dying to vote for the rapist who can't afford to pay up on his fraud judgement.

Def not a boomer. Squarely a millennial.
Then you should know that the Republicans started this sticker on the fuel pump bullshit, this is just a response to that. It’s always ok when you guys do anything, but super disrespectful when you get it back.

I wonder what else happened in 2020 that could've led to a sudden reduction of drivers while having the same amount of supply, creating an imbalance and a resulting price reduction to move stock? Oh right, covid and its accompanying lock down.

So true, the president has no agency to effect anything at all, he’s just a figure head.
Which is why it doesn’t matter who is president!!
That's drastically oversimplified. Policies can absolutely have an effect, even an outsized one, but people can't tell the difference between a policy decision (like Trump's tariffs) and a global pandemic or foreign wars. Biden tapping reserves absolutely lowered gas prices in the short term, and ramped domestic production to refill those reserves, furthering price easing. A President doesn't have absolute control or a magic wand, but they definitely have an impact to some degree.
The president has no ability to effect geopolitics? Why doesn’t Biden base his foreign policy around benefitting Americans instead of upholding some outdated notion of “international law”(whatever that means).
Biden and his foreign policy team have made an explicit decision to not put america first but instead take sides in foreign conflicts that don’t benefit america at all.
Why not end the sanctions on Russia and Venezuela to lower prices?
How is being pro-Russia good for American national security? Fuck Putin and his murderous regime along with their unwarranted invasion. Strengthening a threat to our allies doesn't benefit us one bit. You want to ignore the global economy and security of nations and yet enrich Russia? We don't need their blood-tainted oil.
If you haven't noticed, energy and fuel production - even fossil fuels - is at an all-time high for the US. We are finally exporting more than we import by over a million barrels per day! That's actual independence and a far better position to be in than some "America First" isolationist bullshit that actually drags down our standing compared to the rest of the world.
