Canada doesn't and the prices the US pays are still comparable to our pre war prices.
1.65 cad/l
There's also the fact that it's heavily subsidized in the US, so comparing it to prices elsewhere does not change the fact that trump has basically doubled gas prices from what they were before he took office.
He's also directly responsible for the surge in gas prices in Canada and Europe, so I don't know what's with this idea that "Oh, gas is cheaper in the US, I guess trump can't be that bad after all..."
The idea is that this being the sticking point for people is hilarious.
There's so many other things people are okay with but this is where they draw the line.
You gotta meet people where they're at. It's about the messaging.
I doubt the person who put the sticker there was like "Alright, this is the last straw." But maybe a dozen people who fill their tanks there will see it and have a moment of self-awareness. Like "Hey, you know what? The sticker is right, this is trump's fault."
Not saying most trump supporters are capable of self-awareness, but if it heaps shame on them and makes them embarrassed to speak up then that's a net plus. And there's always a few fence sitters for whom this is the line they draw.
Whether we agree with them or not about their complacency pertaining to other things is beside the point.
