I'm convinced when the price goes down we're supposed to thank the Republicans and when the price goes up we're supposed to blame democrats

That’s exactly how it plays out. Thing is, Presidents have no effect on gas prices, period.

New to politics? Been like this for centuries. The very first play in the political playbook is, "Always take credit and always pass blame."

It ain't just gas either. Anything good happening is because of my team's tireless efforts paying off. Anything bad happening is because my opponents are a bunch of thieving, corrupt bastards.
