To all the Maga cultist farmers cash cropping soybeans to ship to China while depleting aquifers in farm country which could have been used for actual domestic food production, their failure is a benefit.
Trump actually said I don’t care about you. I just want your vote. Yet, MAGA didn’t believe he doesn’t care about them. Just like Trump called veterans “suckers and losers,” but they refused to acknowledge he could give shit less about them. STUPID, IMMORAL people are destroying this country.
Canadian farmers would likely say FU back & have a nice day at the same time.
The right wing voting farmers can argue it out in church about which side is more detestable.
They obviously don’t mind screwing each other over.
Trump's favorite policy proposal is the "Lie So Big, People Just Get Tired of Fact-Checking It" initiative. Super efficient! Followed closely by "Grift Every Dollar, Then Grift Some More."
These people are dumb and Dump knows how to play them. I watched Dump tell an ECONOMIST that the economist was wrong about how tariffs work, and repeated his stupid "it's a tax that the other country pays" line. MAGAs go "oooh look he's smarter than that economist!" not "He's fucking crazy".
While I agree with the sentiment, I don't. That agricultural land will be sold off and developed. We need farmers to maintain their lands and continue to farm, that's why they've always had federal subsidies. Chinese entities hold approximately 383,935 acres of U.S. agricultural land; that's plenty.
Yep. Or when the farm forecloses, Big Ag will buy it. China, Brazil, etc will line up. Not good. Farmers have high suicide rates. And they have families. Biggest beneficiaries of subsidies have been Big Ag. Damn tariffs hurt EVERYONE
Not all. Some farmers are good, hardworking people. Not every farmer voted for trump because they believed his schtick about tariffs. There are plenty of racist maga farmers who have different agendas.
Agree. Just easily conned. They have not time to follow the dots of 47's con's and lies. The are farmers 24x7x365. In debt for life. Salt of the earth people as is said. Like bees, we would all starve without them.
Re "My sympathy is saved for the non-MAGA farmers." My question is how many are their? Are their any? I live in Western Washington state and it feels like all of Eastern WA, where all our large farmers (wheat and potatoes) are are maga because they vote R save for maybe one district.
We don't need those that poison the feed, and they did voting for Trump. The food processed in the USA is not safe for consumption due to shutting down the FDA/FSIS, which they also voted for. He told us he would do all of this.
yep. Play stupid games. Get stupid prizes. They deserve it.
This is what VANCE and some of his buddies are counting on. The buy up the bankrupt farms for nothing, and then sell them to foreign "investors". Making $billions in illegal gains. The farmers become homeless.
Too many first clues this guy should have had.. he had 4 years to think about 1/6, classified documents, the economy, Covid deaths and 34 felony convictions and still thought he was the best choice for this country?
But I would still help him because an unhoused neighbor is still your neighbor. ✌🏽
Nope. The only way they will learn is to feel the hardship of others. They chose to be asshats so let them live without nutritious food, clean water and a roof over their head for shelter. They aren't just rednecks, it's down to their bone marrow.
Anyone with half a brain could see this coming. I feel sorry for those around him who have to suffer his foolishness. Anyone who plays around with mobsters deserves to get slapped around - panda Trump is mobster.
Too late. Dementia is taking the few functioning parts of that brain. Unfortunately, the asshole can still lie and babble nonsense, which people love to repost.
Look from their view. Vote for a 34 count convicted felon barred from charities in NYS, who was sued for a fake University, bankrupted a casino, failed an airline, a meat co, cheated people his whole life, and discriminated against black people, or an intelligent black woman.🤷🏻♂️ Where’s the red flag?
These are good people who fell for history's most successful grift. Three times. I don't blame them entirely. I just wish they would snap the fuck out of it...it's about time.
Good people don’t vote for racists. Or rapists. Or pedophiles. Or convicted felons. Or people who steal from charities. How many small businesses went bankrupt because Trump refused to pay them for work done because that’s how he does business?
Oh let me clarify. I don't "respect" the first group. I think they should get off their asses and read up on the issues instead of trusting rupert or their evangelical grifters. But I think they are salvagable. The ones who vote for hate...if there is justice, it will not be kind to them.
There are lots of good people who were first conned by Rupert Murdoch. Then by maga. These are low information voters. There is a whole set of other people who are as you describe. I respect the first group. The second group can go fuck themselves.
And farmers still went bankrupt and suicide rates increased, even with large bailouts during the Trump administration, in an attempt to mitigate the damage to farmers from tariffs.
Let's suppose this is true, and I'm not saying it is, so these farmers go bankrupt, then what? Do you have the land and skill set to grow your own food?
I understand the sentiment, but these folks help feed you & your family. Letting farmers fail would be like shooting yourself in the foot.
He will go under, not the farm. JD Vance will broker it to a buddy through his farm land brokerage and I’ll probably get subsidies and it’ll be back up and running in no time. But the poor bastard who used to own it will definitely lose it.
Farming isn't rocket science. Most farmers in my county rotate two crops - corn and soybeans. Maybe the most difficult aspect is keeping the equipment running. Things are always breaking down, especially small farmers with old equipment.
They’ll turn into factory farms. The land is still there. It will just be under new ownership. Probably sold to someone by JD Vance and his farmland brokerage company.
I watch the farmers in my county dump tons of herbicides and pesticides on their crops often by airplane. Their practices aren't any better than the corporate monsters.
Corporate farms will buy his land and continue to produce food. I'll be paying more no matter who is working that land because Trump is a fucking dementia addled moron. The fact that I'll be paying more anyway AND I get to enjoy watching this Reich wing turd lose his farm is a fucking perk.
So this ignorant douche was A-OK with thinking someone else was going to pay the tariffs. Then when the truth smacked him upside the head, he cries foul? 🖕
As a woman, I don't want my tax dollars going to bail out R men (primarily) who voted for a rapist. Who vote consistently to take away women's (and minorities') rights. I shouldn't have to pay these fuckers to make my life hell!
These people made a choice. They were okay with others suffering. The fact that they got caught up in it and are now suffering themselves, what would you suggested we do?
No one forced them to vote for a felon; now in 2024 or in 2016. You think with what happened in 2016-2020; they would have some
caution. Instead; they were all too gleeful to vote for him again. Even though he spelled out what he was going to do. Many of these farmers also apparently did not consider their farm hands who were migrants and how the crack down on migrants was going to affect them.
I'm impressed that a person who doesn't even know how tariffs work has been able to run a business. If he goes bankrupt now he needs to celebrate the years he hasn't instead of being sorry.
Nicholas Gilbert FAFO. Farmers like this will be the first ones with hands stretched out for those socialist bailouts that MAGAts like him claim to hate and won't give two shits about the taxpayers who he will gladly will take it from.
If only someone would have warned him. Someone not a black woman a funny laugh, who was a lawyer with a degree in economics. Or if only he had a small handheld device where he could type “simple tariff explanation”
As someone on SS disability, Medicare & a fixed income, I'm paying a price for the farmers who voted for Trump. If I have to pay a price for their stupid vote, they sure as hell better pay the price, too.
Yep, bankrupt the farmers. The new motto for America will be,
"Let them eat cake." This is how Trump becomes the dictator of America. He has hired 23 people from Fox News to work in his administration. Watching and believing what Fox News tells MAGA is detrimental to one's personal life. Get Woke!
I only eat highly processed foods in a box these days for fear of Listeria, E. Coli, Salmonella or the brain worm that infected RFK Jr. Guess I’ll have to learn to drink Folgers crystal’s since coffee is about to go thru the fucking roof too. Murica 🇺🇸 🔥
Learn your history. Many will never admit to be wrong. Learn how it works in Hungary, since that's the model they are chasing. Billionaires owning society. Still relatively free, but not allowed to critique the government.
By now the worst perfomer in the EU, since corruption kills the economy.
except in the Big fucking fascist Bill they have a 52 Billion dollar bail out... my how conservative... it is a tad higher than the 50 Billion I predicted on Blue sky weeks ago
Yeah, but they were told this…I feel for them, no one should loss what they’ve worked so hard for…but this is the inevitable conclusion to being unreasonable and refusing to listen to warnings…
In the b4 times I would have taken no joy in saying we told you so but , now it warms my cold frozen heart and I am getting the only joy I have had since Nov !
Well they believed that Mexico would pay for the wall, why not believe that #Canada will pay #tariffs? We are all going to see the impact but #Canadians can #import from other countries and #buyCanadian #elbowsup #CanadaSky
How far do you think this pissant amount of money is going to build? Maybe a couple of miles? ✌️ That's my take on the nod from 47. He'll likely either spend it elsewhere or maybe pocket it. There is literally no one to hold him accountable.
That money will disappear into a hole. They don't give a shit about border crossings and they don't really want to stop it. It's one of the wedges they do best on. If you fix it then he can't steal money and use it as campaign propaganda
FYI, that picture is not the farmer. No where does any article stste he voted for trump, but i think it's safe to assume, if he thought Canada was going to pay the tariffs, he most likely voted for trump. Those who voted for Harris knew how it works
The business is bankrupt, not viable as a dairy farm due to tariff costs. Capitalism is fascism and he has survived only due to socialism being in a cooperative.
Government programs to reduce herd sizes due to "super cow" for years. He is in a "cooperative" that is 19th century socialism from Europe that landed in America with the Granger movement in the 20th century from German immigrants..
Unfortunately these farms will be bought out by the giant combines and no one will profit from it except them.
It’s so tempting to let the right destroy things so they will find out, but they usually never will because of cognitive dissonance. Everyone suffers from Fascism.
Democrats cannot keep saving these people from themselves. It is kind to try and save people from themselves. But, there is a point in time when it is like repeatedly spitting into the wind. With these people we are there.
I have zero fucks to give about the Old MacDonalds. Their POS POTUS did the same thing to farmers last time then bailed them out with OUR tax dollars. Looks like no bailout this time, though. The song is accurate. Old MacDonald HAD a farm.
The “North Country” part of NY was already a very depressed area that looks like a 3rd world country. No surprise that it’s full of MAGA flags. It’s hard to believe that it could get any worse there.
And he will vote GOP in 2026, 2028… all while blaming Hunter’s laptop, her emails, and Obama’s tan suit as the reasons he can’t run a successful business. Because it’s a cult.
Unfortunately these farmers were sold a bill of goods. They weren't really listening, except to their friends at the local cafe, at church, and on Fox "News". Now THEY are going to go out of farming, and WE are going to pay more for our food.
The giant agri-business corporations are already doing that, as fast as they can. You are correct. They will be able to control food prices and availability.
Those who voted for trump are grown adults. They voted in hopes of bad things to happen to others, not them. Let them experience the full consequences of their vote.
Yes we are but we will be paying even more if we do not get the support to get this regime - Every f FKG one of them!- OUT of office & any control of economy.
To do this We need to influence any cracks that occur in the maga cult with some Invite to Our understanding of Fairness & Equity
It'll take some cheek biting to hold back vicious replies to what We might see as stupidity, racism or plain old re meanness (I know I live in rwXtain rural area) But
As said: we'll catch more flies with oh honey U po baby then with FU stupid.
Maybe a lil xtain reverse Welcome to Our side of Life
Who said
Keep your friends close
& Your Enemies closer?
But yeah if someone is in frustration with the guy in front it's the time to pull them aside & have a beer listen talk invite them to ___ Tell them how great they are & could do on a different program
I have changed a couple of minds
Ahh, there were millions of people telling them, and they had plenty of evidence in front of their own eyes from the last Trump "maladministration", they made their choice. They wanted to hurt other people. Sucks to be them.
while the tech bros stand by greedily waiting to scoop up the land for city states built within the US polity, like the venture capitalist vultures that they are.
If you start bailing out the farmers then you have to bail out all the hotels, tourist attractions, and other tourist related businesses because of the threats to tourist made by JD Vance, It was announced today that European Airlines and cruise ships are canceling flights to the US due to trump.
1. The post suggested letting all farmers go broke, so my retort stands. 2. You appear to be promoting what would effectively become a monopoly where only the poor suffer...
Nope, just saying food production does not stop if farmers go bankrupt. Like any business, if farmers go bankrupt others will buy up the assets cheaply, (land, equipment, etc.) and will make use of them.
I'm not promoting a monopoly where only the poor suffer, just saying what will happen.
Nope again. Never said that. Food production won't stop if a farmer goes bankrupt.
Others will step in & the means of production (land & equipment) will still be used.
The main people who suffer are the people in the bankrupt business.
Are these people poor? Do they deserve it? I can't say.
Can’t help the stupid. Should have known from the start. Nobody but yourself to blame here. Zero sympathy for being a fucking racist and thinking people who are a different colour or race was your problem the whole time. Or tariffs was the problem.
Enjoy bankruptcy. Nice hat maybe you can sell it
Awwwww poor maga waga. Great news though. There’s a lot of produce to pick bc his orange daddy sent all the migrants to other countries. He looks like he can lose a few pounds too. Free exercise for him and all his MAGA buddies. 😁👍
Ninnies who believe what trump tells them. He’s a liar, always was and always will be. If you don’t check out the effects of something this important on your bottom line, you deserve to join trump in bankruptcy court
What an idiot , another I buy bullshit citizen ! Maybe next time youll make politicians put their talking points on paper / data to show you how tariffs work or how the policy you like will work or be paid for !
Counter: Dems/Progressives push HARD for farmer bailouts and make sure their names/faces are associated with it. Get ahead of it, to show the Left are the ones that actually care about people.
I think the problem is, the people you're always trying to help end up turning around and messing things up again, just to spite you. Don't you think that maybe if they face actual full consequences, they would make smarter choices in future? Can't keep cleaning up their mess forever, you know?
Stupidity kills. Darwin's strategic economy prize goes to this this MAGA farmer for believing FOX news, voting Trumpet, resulting in spectacular FAFO moment. Congrats to Potsdam!
We really should enforce education so this scenario will be more rare in future.
My heart goes out to this man and his family. I’m afraid this story is going to have multiple chapters of disappointment based on media coverage of the facts. I’m still struggling with how this make America better.
You know what I keep hearing like an echo. "Own the Libs." Yeah, who's being owned now! Sorry, like you, no sympathy, no empathy for any of the magats! It is because of them that we are all in this mess!
It's easily believable due to all the stories of real farmers who voted for Trump & are headed towards bankruptcy because all their immigrant workers have left the country. I'm in the Midwest so hearing this from Midwest farmers.
Yes I am sure it represents a state of affairs. It's annoying though. I have seen this story around and I believed that it referred to this actual individual.
The pain will be worse and more widespread as time goes on. It needs to be worse and more widespread to convince these people to help save this country.
That's to bail out the large farming corporations, not the maw and paw farms. Maw and paw farms voted for Trump and now has to deal with the consequences (which we will too, later).
Trump wants to be Putin but is channeling Stalin. who forced small family farms into huge cooperatives resulting in local famines. irony is that Trump probably doesnt even know who Stalin was

How far down our food chain will this go?
I'll lie to get those billions in hotel deals. While making everyone's life a downgrade.
The right wing voting farmers can argue it out in church about which side is more detestable.
They obviously don’t mind screwing each other over.
Maybe they might change the channel
There are consequences for that.
Know what you're voting for!
Not like there weren't warning bells going off everywhere.
And #MAGA was repeatedly warned.
I will forgive MAGA farmers that admit they were lied to by Fox, Trump, and the like.
But until they admit that, they're condoning cruelty, which makes them bad people.
My sympathy is saved for the non-MAGA farmers.
We can do better.
We don't need those that poison the feed, and they did voting for Trump. The food processed in the USA is not safe for consumption due to shutting down the FDA/FSIS, which they also voted for. He told us he would do all of this.

How sad.
Never mind.
No. Like talking to a bunch of chimps.

I understand the sentiment, but these folks help feed you & your family. Letting farmers fail would be like shooting yourself in the foot.
They received bailouts last time, should they continually be rewarded with bailouts every time they support self destructive policies?
Farmer only grows soybeans, doesn’t rotate nutrients back into the soil with other crops.
Cause, profit is motive.
How do we fix that?
mega-corp land holders that allow metros & suburbs to starve.
The current policies are just speeding up the destruction of available arable land.
I have always wondered when we will be forced to demolish abandoned malls so we can reclaim the farmland
That clock may have sped up
I have no idea how we move away from viewing essentials such as food as primarily a way to make money.
So much is broken about how we view the social construct.

Yes, farmers raise our foods
At some point; the decisions you make are your decisions and you can’t keep on coming back and saying “mea culpa” for you to do it again and again.
What do you think we should do?
Republicans will lie, cheat, & steal from constituents to get elected.
Then once in it's THEIR agenda NOT the constituents..
His heroes couldn’t possibly let him down.
that red MAGA hat.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA.... (wheeze).....hahahahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAH
idiot.
I just saw an article yesterday that says trump wants to undo the rule that currently doesn't let medical debt trash your credit score.
"Let them eat cake." This is how Trump becomes the dictator of America. He has hired 23 people from Fox News to work in his administration. Watching and believing what Fox News tells MAGA is detrimental to one's personal life. Get Woke!
Those bastards ruined our country though.
Pipers must be paid…
Those can go F.
The independent farmers are the most important ones (and probably only 5% of those hit)
B/c the USA is heading towards oligarchy.
Let the oligarchs go bankrupt, NOT the independent farmers.
By now the worst perfomer in the EU, since corruption kills the economy.
Who will buy these farms for pennies on the dollar then set up shop?
Control the food, control the people.
Crater the values, force quick selloffs, and the billionaires swoop in to buy prime farmland for pennies per dollar.
47 isn't governing. He's raping the little guy.
Potter's buying!"
- It's A Wonderful Life
FAFO 🤷♀️
This is the part of all these sob stories the fools getting what they voted for don't want YOU to realize.
Next time try paying attention, you trump-loving idiot.
It’s so tempting to let the right destroy things so they will find out, but they usually never will because of cognitive dissonance. Everyone suffers from Fascism.
That damn leopard!
Thoughts and prayers.
Better get pulling on those bootstraps.
Although the actual truth is likely the back of a cereal box..
And I flippin' love it!

The socialists think so:
https://monthlyreview.org/2015/02/01/cooperatives-on-the-path-to-socialism/
This would be the penultimate idiocy ❗️
The GOP thinks they have an unassailable hold on rural America, and I honestly think that could be a huge weakness in the Republican party.
2) We have to decide if we care more about the well-being of all hard working people (like we say we do), or more about punishing those we don’t like.
I don’t want to see farmers lose their farms, or go hungry, or their kids lose out on their future. If that’s the goal, I’m out.
We really should enforce education so this scenario will be more rare in future.
But your racism just couldn’t be satisfied, could it?
Fuck you, Nicholas.
You’re finally going to see how it is to live on food st—
Oh WAIT! You voted to take THOSE away from people too!
a: fafo
But I’m struggling to have any sympathy for anyone who voted for this orange fuck. I just can’t find it.
Trump won't be bailing them out. He's too busy giving billionaires tax cuts and filling his own pockets with scams and bribes.
