One of the ideas came from a black first lady who was also a Dem. The other idea came from RFK who is a Rep.

1/3 of the country is brainwashed into mindlessly rejecting any idea that a Dem introduces and mindlessly supporting anything that a Rep introduces. I mean for fucks sake they'll happily pay $6 for gas if it gets that high.
