Thiessen: High Gas Prices Are Part of Biden's Plan

I don't see how anyone could deny this.

   Actually, I think it might be a rational approach if climate change were as big a threat as the left believes it to be. So the only way to avoid bad policies like this one is to address climate hysteria directly. 

   Though maybe not. One important argument goes like this: even if climate hysteria is justified, our best hope of fighting AGW is via innovation. And the best driver of innovation is prosperity. And high gas prices undermine prosperity. 

   But in general, this is why I voted for Trump in '20. The American left has radicalized, and adopted a large number of utterly insane beliefs and attitudes. And that radical left has taken over the Democrats. Thus, just about the worst thing we can do now is to hand control of...well...anything...to the Dems. In particular it was a bad idea to trade Trump for Biden. Trump was the monkey wrench in the works preventing the newly-radicalized machine of the left from running smoothly--and running us smoothly over one cliff or another. Or, more likely: several of them. The hysterical opposition to Trump from all our "elite" institutions prevented him from accomplishing as much as he might have--but functioning as monkey wrench was far, far better than nothing. Electing Biden was a terrible idea, and obviously had a high probability of leading us into disaster. Though, TBH, even I didn't think he'd be this bad... 

   Trump's a buffoon, but not half the buffoon Biden is. And a buffoon with good instincts and good policies--and not possessed by an insane, cultish, pseudoscientific quasi-religion--beats the other kind of buffoon any day.

   I'm not among those who think that Biden voters owe the country an apology. But I do hope that this functions as a--as they say--"learning experience" for at least many of them.
