Let’s review.
This is 100% on topic. The OP asked about the public and political response to higher gas prices. @wolfpup claimed it would be substantial among conservatives, @Der_Trihs argued, “Meh, not really, look at this example.”
Der: The mods saw the vitreol and whited out. That’s a communication problem and deserves some reflection on your part. Good work maintaining your habit of obeying the entirely reasonable rules of this message board though: you brought the issue to ATMB rather than arguing it in the original thread.
The discussion that prompted this was totally off topic though and was appropriately modded.
@Measure_for_Measure has spoken!
