Če ameriške volilce najbolj skrbi predvsem inflacija in visoke cene goriv in če imajo cene goriv večinski vpliv na inflacijo (in to predvsem po začetku vojne v Ukrajini), potem so se demokrati z odločitvijo za aktivno spodbujanje vojne v Ukrajini ter za rigorozne sankcije ustrelili v koleno. Ker so si preveč želeli ošibiti Rusijo (prav zdaj in ne glede na ceno), bodo plačali za to visoko ceno (izgubo večine v obeh domovih ter izgubljene naslednje predsedniške volitve).
