Wouldn’t gas prices be higher if EVs were banned, forcing everyone to drive gas powered vehicles, increasing demand?
Mangy Traitor Gangrene must have missed ‘Common Sense GQP Supply & Demand for Dummies’.

The only way to reliably lower gas prices is too reduce our reliance. Remember COVID prices? Yeah, nobody was fucking driving. If everyone had an EV, gas prices would plummet.
But, please, continue telling us that drilling more oil will drastically reduce prices.
And EVs don’t use gas you dumb bitch.

If everybody is forced to drive an EV, then gas prices become irrelevant, because there would only be electric vehicles. Duh.

Not sure if the picture is indeed where she made this statement, but wherever it was, there were undoubtedly some people nodding their heads in agreement.
From there it gets mind-spraining, and there are good arguments for which of these two possibilities is worse:
Do they know she is completely bonkers, and feign agreement because that’s their team?
Or do they actually not know the dirty secret about EVs and the amount of gas they use?

A drop in demand would drive prices down until supply dropped, which it would since more people would be driving EV’s. Then prices would shoot back up due to low demand and low supply.
High demand, low supply = high price
Low demand, high supply = low price
High demand, high supply = low price
Low demand, low supply = high price
