We need a general tweet of the day thread

You get what you vote for. Newsom just positioning himself in 2028 as a man of the people who cares more about the working man than those mean republicans. I've said actions speak louder than words about feelings, but virtue signaling and nice words are so soothing to those aching leftard vags.https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2024/1...lection-slaps-on-massive-new-gas-tax-n2181807
California Punishes Voters After Historic Election, Slaps on Massive New Gas Tax

Is California’s latest bureaucratic insanity a direct punishment to its residents over the elections last Tuesday? Although the Golden State stayed reliably blue in the presidential contest, we did vote out soft-on-crime, Soros-backed district attorneys like the infamous George Gascón and approved crime measure Prop 36.
Their latest move sure feels like naked retribution: California's Air Resources Board (CARB) voted Friday night to change fuel standards. Translation: they want to add 65 cents a gallon to the already highest fuel prices in the nation. This comes as Gov. Gavin Newsom preens on the national stage and vows to defy Trump despite the fact that the president-elect just scored a massive electoral win and what can only be called a mandate for his vision.
There’s a phrase out there, and it’s that they “doubled down on stupid”:
On Friday, the California Air Resources Board voted to revamp its climate change program which is estimated to increase gas prices as high as 65 cents.  The vote was 12-2 vote.
Ultimately, the changes require gasoline, diesel, and other fuels to meet higher standards for greenhouse gases.  It also tweaks how credits are awarded for lower carbon fuels.
On Saturday morning, the average gallon of gas in California costs $4.14 compared to the $3.09 national average. In Contra Costa County, the average is $4.60 per gallon.
 
Maybe Ern can tell us who is hurt worse by high gas prices. Pretty sure it's billionaires because Newsom is a friend of the working man. As long as you don't have a business during his draconian covid response
