    My vendors & customers all have crops rotting in the field right now.

    This is the start of the American Holodomir, thanks to the GOP & Putin.

      From the interviews I’ve been seeing, at least some of them voted against Trump due to concerns about bullshit like this. I expect the majority did vote for him, in which case yes, karma’s a bitch. But a) we shouldn’t be treating them as a single voting block that all vote the same way, and b) regardless of the schadenfreude we get watching the Trump supporters among them freaking out now, there are grave knock-on effects for consumers looming - including those consumers who didn’t vote for Trump.

        Agreed! Republican voters are KNOWN to Learn Their Lessons! That’s why they DIDNT vote for Trump AGAIN after Covid and January 6th and. . .

        Guy keeps sticking his keys in a power outlet and gets hurt.

        My guy, if you keep sticking your keys in the power outlet, you’re gonna hurt yourself.

        Blaming the guy’s pain on his sticking his keys in the power outlet will only get a repeat of the behavior.

        Elites want us blaming each other and not them.

          Except, he’s sticking his key in the power outlet, knowing it will hurt him, because it’ll hurt people like me worse.

          No. Fuck anyone who voted for Trump. Fuck you for thinking that I don’t deserve the same rights as they do.

    Farmers showing us that working hard and working smart are clearly two different things. Shame they completely forgot the latter. TFI said “profits!” and those hard workers just assumed he meant theirs. The morons obviously didn’t learn fuckall from his first regime.

    Hmm, if farmers had actually listened to their friends and neighbors instead of giant signs bought by the rich, they would have realized that Republicans were using them for their votes, so they could eventually fuck them over and create an environment that would force them to sell their land to corporate farm entities and real estate firms, since you know, they bribed him more.

    See, the thing is, they needed farmer votes, and stupid fucking farmers walked right into their trap. Now they don’t need farmers anymore, since the plan is to just steal every future election, and now farmers get to figure out what they’re really worth to Republicans.

    But hey, they got rid of a bunch of immigrants (and legal US citizens) so that most have helped reduce costs for farmers right? And sure, it seems like all they really care about is helping billionaires, but that will somehow end up helping you… In some way… At some time, right? And they kill right to repair acts, so now you have no fucking way to repair your multi million dollar farm equipment unless you want to get screwed. Oh, and they have no problems selling the water rights out from underneath you… Not that it would be that useful, after they’ve rolled back EPA protections and the ground water becomes too contaminated to use.

    No I totally get why farmers love trump. Farming is hard work, now you won’t have to do it anymore! All that land you own? It’s hard to maintain, so don’t worry, they’ll just take that from you too!

      Hmm, if farmers had actually listened to any educated people

      This really comes across like you think farmers are not educated people. Benefit of the doubt that this is not what you intended but you may want to re-write this.

    There are still some family owned farms. Can’t go back to feudalism without all the family farms going bankrupt and selling out to mega-farm conglomerate corporations.
