Yes indeed EXXON getting rich on charging us at the pump - and EXXON supports Republicans :

“….Oil and gas production, Exxon's largest business, posted a $6.1 billion operating profit, the highest in two years. Earnings benefited from an 80% increase in oil prices and doubling of natural gas prices compared to 2020.”

How much money did Exxon lose in 2020?
 
It makes sense that fossil fuel organizations would favor Republicans, since democrats have pronounced their goal of putting them all out of business.

Regarding hypocrisy, oil company executives have a legal, fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders (many of them pension funds that regular people depend on for their incomes) to produce profits. I find it annoying that prices at the pump always seem to come down more slowly than they should, but as Pipe pointed out, they lost a bunch of money very recently. Not seeing the hypocrisy here.

On the other hand, look no farther than Biden. Swearing to shut down fossil fuels, starting his first day in office - no more drilling on federal land, etc. and now threatening to fine companies for not extracting the maximum, drilling on their leases, etc.

Republicans loving high oil prices? They must have said that on CNN - no one with a scintilla of critical thinking could honestly make that claim.

Big oil supports republicans - big oil is now making a fortune on high oil prices.
FACTS
 
Yeah - I think their profit was around 4%-4.5%. When business volume is huge, a moderate profit is huge in absolute, but not necessarily relative terms. Are you making a fortune on an investment that returns that rate, particularly when inflation is far above that?

Yes - Republicans have an actual understanding of what works to have a strong enough economy to be able to afford to pursue other goals. Democrats are so ideologically driven that they are blind to the massive destruction they are doing to the economy, promoting lawlessness and building a debt so huge that repayment will either be impossible or require printing massive amounts of money, in either case probably costing us our leadership position in the world, and the dollar as the trusted world currency.

You have a big issue with companies making record profits, but no issue at all when companies have record losses. Companies exist to make money, right? And to make a profit for shareholders. You do understand this? How are they behaving hypocritically?

You do know that oil companies are increasingly donating to Democrats, or did Clown News Network not tell you that?

“In a trivial sense, it’s true that businesses set prices to maximize their profits. They also choose wages and the level of employment to maximize profits,” said Jason Furman, President Barack Obama’s top economic adviser, who called complaints about corporate greed “just political ranting.”

from "Amid inflation, rising prices fuel charges of corporate greed" by David J. Lynch, Washington Post

"Just political ranting" describes our beloved bgreene to a T.
 
Yeh yeh …..but the TRUTH, FACT and HYPOCRISY is :

1. Big oil votes Republican
2. Big oil LOVES high oil prices
3. Big oil is laughing all the way to the bank as Dems take the blame .

It’s quite a joke - on us.
You either can’t figure this out or you’re the “ blissful ignorant “ that trump loves .

Trump spouts all kinds of false claims at his rallies - and you starry eyed followers lap it up like like thirsty dogs.
Trump says “ I heard K Brown was very rude , very rude “ and his mob responds with boooos to Brown.
Meanwhile the TRUTH IS Brown has handled herself with total poise, courtesy, respect and dignity in the hearings.
