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.
