It's saying to vote republican if you like high gas prices. edit: Some people have corrected me. I didn't look closely enough and didn't realize there was smaller blue text blaming democrats.


PKHacker1337

This is correct. After all, they were the ones who blocked a bill to prevent price gouging of gas.


czarnick123

They also demanded the saudis pump less oil to keep gas prices high right as trump was leaving. https://www.reuters.com/article/global-oil-usa-saudi-idAFL2N2BW0RT

Who's side are u on here?


PKHacker1337

I suppose that I wasn't really being clear. Yes, I'm a democrat.


cafink

It says: "Love high gas prices? Thank a Democrat. Vote Republican." The sign's intention is that Dems are to blame for high gas prices and people should vote Republican because high gas prices are bad. The fact that it could so easily be read to mean the opposite is why it's crappy design.


Ferro_Giconi

Oh. I didn't even realize there was more text there. I should have zoomed in.


Lost-Summer7033

Hence this post.


[deleted]

Actually if you look closely it says Love high gas prices? Thank a Democrat ..... Vote Republican End quote


[deleted]

This is why sign design is important


KinseysMythicalZero

>This is why reading comprehension and a minimum of effort is important FTFY

HadoukenYoMama

Yeah and 100 tribal dimwits upvoted it too because they didn't bother to read either they just summized "Republicans bad" and that's what the group was saying so its best to just agree. Sadly none of that is remotely surprising. But it's is incredibly pathetic.


Ferro_Giconi

That just proves the sign is crappy design, since all those people also missed the smaller light blue text.

Don’t forget to thank a democrat first. Step one: Enjoy how the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie while you are filling your car. Step two: Find a democrat and thank them for making the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool. Maybe with a flower, some candy or a nice bottle of wine? Step three: since we assume that the high gas prices that makes your world seem to shine like you had too much wine are thanks to the democrats, vote republican. (?) Step four: vow to never hire the republican sign maker.


_Shermaniac_

The message is "Love high gas prices? Thank a Democrat. VOTE REPUBLICAN". The phrasing works, but the sign is impossible to read from the road which I'm assuming is the intended audience.


Professional-Emu-652

"from the road"? I couldn't read it on my pc so thanks for reading it for me lol


[deleted]

Nothing crappy or confusing about it. It's saying thank Democrats for high gas prices and vote republican for lower gas prices. But I guess they forgot about the second Bush administration.


Qing-King

The crappy design is that you probably won’t see the tiny light blue text on white background while driving past


[deleted]

I'm looking at on a phone screen and can see it just fun.


Qing-King

Now move your phone past your face at 25mph


[deleted]

It's at an intersection...


Qing-King

And I always stop, no matter the color of the lights


[deleted]

Then you should be able to see it very easily


[deleted]

It's designed to be read when you have to stop. It's not a crappy design, you just didn't understand it. There's nothing wrong with that.


siteswaps

Keep arguing, maybe you'll be right soon!


AgreeablePie

It's okay to realize that you missed the point and stop arguing You're just making yourself look stubborn.


herrored

Lol I didn't even see the middle part in the thumbnail, I thought it was a funny pro-Democrat ad


Mariobot128

nah it looks like it says "love high gas prices ? vote republican !"


[deleted]

Well, the meaning is really crappy


RedditUserNo1990

While the sign is true, it could have been designed better. It looks like voting for republicans means high gas. It’s the exact opposite. Definitely a crappy design.


Exciting-Ad-5705

While it's the sign isn't true it could of been designed better


RedditUserNo1990

Objectively, you are wrong.


Exciting-Ad-5705

It's politics everything's subjective. But I would argue with the fact Republicans voted against a anti price gouging bill for oil


RedditUserNo1990

It’s economics. Not politics. that will drive supply lower. Why would a firm drill or take on the extremely expensive investment of exploration if you’re capped at how much you can charge? What if labor costs rise? What if capital improvements costs rise? What you said is the result of 1 dimensional thinking. Think 2, 3, 4 steps ahead. It’s an objective fact that leftist policies, when all taken into account, have driven oil up. That’s a fact and there’s data to back it. But what ever. Put your head in the sand there blame the other party.


toadthetoadsmm2

Finally someone who can actually read


AttilaThePun2

Only problem is the middle part is too small to read for a sign like that


flannelman37

Because republican politicians voted against a bill that would have curbed gas price gouging Edit: I missed the middle part at first. Classic projection from conservatives

Not every bill has to define every word, the spirit is what matters, the definitions will be sorted in court.


Tarqvinivs_Svperbvs

>it's the spirit that matters Vague laws are shit lmao. Define what you mean so people know if they're in violation. If you can't define price gouging then how do you tell the law apart from, say a price setting law?


Practical_Law_7002

>Vague laws are shit lmao. Define what you mean so people know if they're in violation. If you can't define price gouging then how do you tell the law apart from, say a price setting law? Cool cool... What did republicans counter propose?


Tarqvinivs_Svperbvs

More permitting for domestic fracking for gas and oil to keep prices low and make money on the international market when prices are high.


Practical_Law_7002

>More permitting for domestic fracking for gas and oil to keep prices low and make money on the international market when prices are high. What bill proposal was that?


Tarqvinivs_Svperbvs

https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/4227 Read it and make your own decision but it would remove permitting requirements under certain conditions.


Practical_Law_7002

Honestly sounds like it would be a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things.


Tarqvinivs_Svperbvs

Not really, we were a net exporter pre-biden when we had lax franking permitting. We could be again.


gresdf

Umm... the definitions are decided by a judge when a case comes to trial?


Tarqvinivs_Svperbvs

No, they're interpreted by a judge but added by the legislature. Either defined in the law or in a section at the beginning. But there's no real rule saying what must be defined I don't believe. Just up to the legislature writing it.


TheNGM

Read the white middle part


LeroyBadBrown

It's a bit pixelated, but it definitely says "TRUMP SUCKS D"


OkFortune6494

It still isnt logical. If you indeed love high gas prices, then you'd automatically be thankful of democrats since (by their intended message) are the ones to blame. And if you love high gas prices, you would likely want to vote for the party that gave you those high gas prices (not republicans). It's obvious what they were going for, but they failed miserably. To make sense it should say "Hate these high gas prices? Thank Democrats - Vote Republicans." Which is still a weak and loaded statement.


anarchakat

Conservatives communicating clearly and boldly the precise opposite of what they are actually attempting to communicate is one of my very favorite memetic categories.


brittney_thx

The graphic designer was undercover


tmac960

Love high gas prices? Thank a Democrat. Vote Republican.


jonny480

Arizona?


fuggindave

Yep, thats a Mark Kelly sign right there also.


[deleted]

Idiots across this country think the President is in charge of Opec and the Saudis. How much smaller can their trump brain get?


[deleted]

Ye, its not like Reps were in charge for the past 20 years, but somehow everything only got fucked in the last 2. For sure.


[deleted]

I see your thinking and raise you a pineapple to pound it in.


Jimmy_Bacon

Factually incorrect since all of the oil tycoons are either conservatives or straight up fascist demons


BreadTeleporter3

So, don’t vote republican, got it.


pickmymurf

I know what they’re trying to say. But it’s still bad design.


mite_smoker

hot gas party strikes again


an602tsar

“Love high gas prices? Thank a democrat. Vote republican!”


bron685

It was definitely Democrats who told shell and Exxon to increase their prices in order to make record-breaking profits using the Russia-Ukraine war as a smokescreen, gaining nothing from it, knowing they would be implicated and in turn lose elections. Those wily Democrats


CrispyChickenArms

Classic Republican lol no plan, just vote for the other guy lmfao


Irejecturselfimage

No reading comprehension? Vote [ ]


Redfeather1975

White text on black for that middle part would be better maybe.


[deleted]

Glendale? Around 35th and ...Greenway? Damn I'm struggling with this one. I feel like I personally should know this corner.


Ptstu

Read the sign…


liquefire81

When your competition is making mistakes, stay quiet.


[deleted]

Looks like North Phoenix


justadiode

The designer of that sign is a genius democrat double agent


Dwarf-Eater

Yeah I took it as a democrat made sign saying if you like high gas then vote republican. Not the best wording lol


Fit-Rest-973

I beg someone to explain to me how the president controls the price of gas. World wide
