I don't get it personally. I don't see how they conspiracy-hole this and that, and pretend the most outrageous things, but then supposedly diesel or whatever is the last straw. Decades of being financially fucked into the ground by conservative policy, a decade of But Joe Biden!, and now diesel does it??? Ok I guess.

And at the upper levels projection took over and “do unto others before they do unto you” became the rule in a power grab.
