• Yes. Before the war I was paying roughly $3 a gallon. Now over 200 days in I’m paying $4.30. And that’s nationwide. Fuel prices have increased in every state. When you cause the shut down of the strait of Hormuz with controls 25% of the global fuel supply it only makes sense that fuel at home would cost more. There’s the same level of demand and 25% less supply

• The US should not leave the region for free. The US should instead leave the region contingent on actions of Iran, which would include allowing the Strait of Hormuz to flow freely, to instate a maximum tax which can be collected through the strait, or to require diplomacy between Iran and Oman to control their respective halves of the strait. In the case that the US can negotiate the strait to be freely open, perhaps through unfreezing Iranian assets, threatening a ground attack otherwise, or freeing up sanctions on Iran, then oil and gas prices would drop dramatically to near pre-war prices. If the US can manage to negotiate a maximum tax Iran can charge, enforced by the threat of entering the region, or negotiate diplomacy between Iran and Oman, then oil prices would, at the very least, drop significantly temporarily until a better solution can be reached.

• No one is “abandoning” a party. People often feel that national elections have more to do with national headlines and local races are different. For example, the MIT election data and science lab produced a study that showed “while only 6 percent of the state’s voters split their ticket between the Presidential race and U.S. House contests in 2016, close to 17 percent split parties between Presidential and contested Sheriff races.” Voters should not feel an obligation to vote for one party up and down the ballot.

• Because if the party is not doing what they are asking for then it does not deserve their vote. The era of party line voting should die. We need to return to common sense voting practices that result in actual progress and prosperity and not just for what letter in next to the candidates name.

• The Democratic Party does not hold the power in the senate. When I say “vote accordingly” I meant they should chose the candidate that best aligns with their needs. Hamilton has shown that he is prepared to address the needs of our voters while the republican base chooses to focus on allegations and unrest in his church. I think tariffs have failed them and the Democratic Party does not hold responsibility for that.

• Im not sure your question makes total sense, but let me reiterate my point. It’s true that currently the administration has policies in place that are hurting rural republicans. The answer to this, however, does not seem to be electing democrats. Likely a democratic politician will neglect the rural community in the same way if not worse, as seen during the Biden era where substantial inflation and tax increases were seen. Now, this doesn’t mean the republican will be perfect, or that we should stop fighting for what we want, but with a republican in office who understands a majority of his state is rural republicans is more likely to listen and push for change for his people.

• As soon as the bill passes, our manufacturers will see the difference in their import costs the moment they begin to purchase them.

• I think that voters should have absolutely no party loyalty. Once again, voters don’t work for the parties. The parties and their candidates work for the people. So if the candidates want votes they need to actually do what they promise during their campaigns. If they lie, the people will lose trust in that party and vote for the other. Party loyalty should not exist. If the leaders of the party turn their backs on voters, voters are going to turn their backs on them. And that’s how it should be.
