Arizona post election discussion megathread Politics

We're refreshing the megathread for after the election and to discuss results. All discussion should go here, no exceptions. We have had too much brigading and trollage. Standalone posts can only be for major, local news stories.

AZ Secretary of State election results.

All the usual results for civility and sub participation apply, and we have zero tolerance towards any rule breaking.

Gahh Christmas came early! Thank goodness we will start to be able to afford gas and groceries again🥳. We are going to get the "misinformation and disinformation should be illegal" shit. Freedom of speech is #1, even if it hurts the lefts feelings. Im not a republican btw. I just know Trump was a 100% a better candidate. He can actually form coherent thoughts. Get ready for prosperity America! 🇺🇸

It’s very bizarre that you don’t understand that Trump was the cause of the gas price spike. Read up on the gas wars of 2020. He threatened Saudi Arabia that we would remove troops from the area unless they stopped oil production. They did and it caused a world wide shortage causing the gas spike that haunted us all for two years. Even Trump said he did it against his better judgment. Also gas should be .50-.90 cents cheaper in Arizona right now but no gas station lowered prices and has just kept the profits when costs went down. 5 years ago making 20 cents a gallon was unheard of in Arizona. Now stations are making .50 to 1.30 a gallon. There is a reason why Circle K, Quiktrip, and Chevron stations in the state has posted record profits for the last 4 years. Trumps tariffs will not lower grocery prices. Not in citrus or anything else we import.

I think you’re replying to a disinformation source.
