It's not just that he only cares about himself it's that he actively hates people he has never met and will never meet.
These people are so grotesquely evil it's horrifying.
Your selfishness(not caring how Frump’s horrible policies affects others,especially others that are brown and not born here)is disgusting. You are only complaining now because it affects YOU, voting for Frump 3 times! Man,you deserve what you get. I’ve always been supportive of our farmers, no more.
>>I’ve always been supportive of our farmers, no more<<
Careful there. Not all farmers are like this farmer. There are many small- and mid-size farms producing ethically grown and organic food that actually nourishes people.
He failed to read between the lines. For example, when Trump constantly rambled about imposing tarrifs, what he actually meant is he would impose tarrifs.
I'm not sure what you mean about France. I mean, like, ask him to leave with a petition and if it refuses. Let it feel what Mousolini felt when he was forced out.
>>He failed to read between the lines<<
It wasn't that subtle. He failed to believe the many huge signs declaring how Trump was going to enrich himself at everyone else's expense.
this guy b/c soybean farmer during Biden term, I hope.If not, trade wars causing family farmers to go bankrupt was something EXTRAORDINARILY predictable. Trump said he would do this BEFORE ELECTION. This farmer either voted for white supremacy or he’s. How can I say this politely? Very NOT smart?
Voting for Trump in 2016 was forgivable. They were conned. Many farmers lost big. Lesson learned, right?
Voting for him in 2020 & 2024? You get what you asked for; don’t beg now. Live with the consequences.
If people read the article they thought trump did right by them last time and Biden didnt uphold the deal. They also still believe he (trump) will come through.
Yeah I saw that too. He said trump negotiated a deal and Biden didn’t follow through. But all I can find are articles about subsidies. Is there more to it than the subsidies? Ending farm subsidies to corporate farms growing crops for livestock feed is a good place to cut federal spending.
This shows the success of decades of propaganda fed into their consciousness. Ideas that a kid who wants to change genders 1000 mi away is more important than the economic security of the farmer's family. That a man who spent yrs lying will suddenly be truthful & has their interests at heart, etc...
Some of these people are quite sophisticated in handling millions of $ in assets. Yet, will put all that aside and uncritically accept the most ridiculous assertions.
Why? Can only assume they touch something deep inside. To say "white supremacy" or hatred is lazy & facile. How that got there ???
President Obama nailed it. He asked, “Do you think a man who tried to kill his vice president cares about you?” Of course, not. But, Republicans are so brainwashed they can’t see it.
Trump bailed them out, so in their view he was a hero. But they are stupid and watch fake news. I hope they all go bankrupt because they have killed democracy
He bailed out large farms from the mess he made. Many mid & small farms didn’t survive & had to be sold at a loss to corp farms.
Same happening here in NC. He went to Helene hit areas, took a pic, promised help, & lied about Biden’s help. Now he yanked funds & FEMA reimbursements. They’re puzzled
@mcuban.bsky.social You could make some charity very happy by donating 10¢ to them for every variation of "FAFO" that gets posted as a reply to this article (including this one).
I am sorry I don't have much compassion...he ran 3 times we all knew what he was capable of...we all know he doesn't have ANYONE'S back...sorry but I am not sorry.
Like how the southern plantation owners convinced poor white men who didn't own any slaves that it was in their interest to fight and die for the institution of slavery so they'd stay better than the Black men.
They wanted to laugh at brown people being ruined. They wanted to laugh at "libs" suffering (by suffering I mean being continually frustrated by MAGA stupidity). They were so arrogant they thought he'd snap his fingers &the world would fall in line.
i guess he didn't know about the large roaming territory area of the leopard. he thought they eat other's faces only, and yep, he was quite ok with that.
They had all the warning signs and flashing lights but still voted for Trump.
Now everyone has to pay the price. Hopefully, the lesson will be painful. It has to be painful in order for these people to fully comprehend what they've done.
#LearnByDoing
I truly believe these folks had to experience what we were warning about. Some folks are just dumb like that... at this point, its on them to reverse, impeach, and move for change. No one listened to us!
If you read the article, the farmer (Caleb Ragland) actually blames Biden for not enforcing Trump’s first agreement with China. He thinks Trump is acting in good faith but China isn’t. Somehow, someway, he & farmers need help before China buys soy from Brazil
Honestly, I prayed Trump wouldn’t win. When he won, I asked God why he let Trump win. At first, there was no answer. Then, one day it occurred to me that Republicans are so hopelessly brainwashed they have to suffer immensely to ever stand a chance of coming to their senses. That was my answer.
I don’t worry they plan on stealing from hungry children and the poor to subsidize these idiots mal-intent and cruelty. Fuck em! Enjoy your pile of soybeans.
Who wants to spend all that money & time on a flight only to be denied entry & shoved in prison by ICE?!!
If I could only take 1 more holiday & it had to be USA, I’d stay at home
Felt obvious that I was talking about the authors of the article we are commenting on since I included a screenshot of the proton of the article we are all commenting on in which the authors aren’t taking any accountability for their choices
Joe’s not president - Cheeto is and that convicted felon f’d over farmers yet again. And Wall Street, our global reputation/trustworthiness and the Constitution. And he’s just getting started. The only one happy is Putin. Deliriously happy. Drinking vodka straight out of the bottle I hear.
Indeed they are. They are being absolutely destroyed by MAGA policies and yet can’t bring themselves to say it’s MAGA. It’s what they voted for. It was their mistake. They can’t admit any of it
I saw an interview with a farmer as to why his family voted trump even after the first failure. He said that farmers are used to uncertainty- weather, demand, and such - so let’s go a second round.
He’d vote for Trump again no matter how much this administration screws him over. And then he’ll blame the Democrats “—AOC, prob—and China and the EU—rather than himself and Trump.
When this farm goes under a corporation will buy up the land from the bank for pennies on the dollar. It might still be a farm, it might not but the corporation will almost certainly prefer Trump.
It doesn't really mean a whole lot but when a single party is elected with the WH and both chambers of Congress we call it a mandate. It wasn't the landslide he keeps claiming it was but it fits the moniker.
I wouldn’t call it a mandate, given the margin in the House and in the presidential election.
But farmers voted for Trump at much higher rates than others. I feel for those who supported Harris. I have absolutely zero sympathy for this dude (Pres of the American Soybeans Association!!) and his ilk.
It doesn't mean a whole lot but landslide or not, as you can see it's incredibly powerful to essentially control all three branches of the government. I'm not sure how voters could give more of a mandate other than hand them all of the keys to the govt.
that 54% of Americans can't read and the Rs largest demographics are white men and women with a HS education or less so most of the people who are illiterate voted for Trump and it's hard to read about tariffs if you can't read. We failed at educating those people.
The number 1 thing this mffer said he'd do during his whole ass campaign was start a goddamned trade war. Why don't any of his own voters believe him when he says he'll do bad things?!?
Cuz farmers know that they will always get a bail-out, that is welfare. A transfer of public monies for their business & well-being. The invisible hand doesn’t apply 2 them. Therefore, they’re free 2 vote their racism, xenophobia, misogyny, anti-LGBTQI+ & right-wing Christian values w/o consequence.
We subsidize food to ensure that there will always be an overabundance of food for Americans even in a time of war. It's not welfare, we would be screwed, especially right now, if we imported even more food than we already do.
Otherwise all of our food will be made by like 3 corporations.
Don't forget we import a third of our food so that's a give and take but we make more food than we can eat so we sell some and often still make more than we need to we let it rot. We subsidize farmers b/c no one is getting rich farming, if we didn't subsidize them, many if not most would close.
Same with dairy farmers, in Maine we guarantee a certain price and if the cost of milk dips below it, we kick taxes in to keep them afloat or every one of them would go out of business. If we didn't subsidize farming we would not be able to feed ourselves.
I believe it was Ronald Reagan who coined the term “welfare queen.” So a black mother having to get food stamps to feed her kids is a draw on the economy while paying welfare to the farmer who provides an “over abundance” of food is the good “welfare king.” Patriarchal bullshit society.
That was him. We can't have capitalism without a poor class and they can't remain in control unless we illogically blame poor people for our problems. It's not that we're making too much food but sometimes we don't use everything they grow. That's better than not having enough.
We all now that old saw. However, guaranteed welfare payments 2 farmers provides them w/both psychological & financial certainty—given that they will always be bailed out. That certainly provides them w/a permission structure 2 vote their right wing Christian beliefs, racism, misogyny, & anti-LGBTQ.
It's not an old saw, Nixon started it. They have that security b/c w/o they would all be condos by now. Do you want to be able to grow enough food to feed the nation or not because of so, we need some socialism and keep them afloat. We wouldn't have milk at all if we didn't subsidize dairy farms.
U r deliberately missing the point I’ve raised abt how guaranteed 💵 security—which is in the “best interest” of any nation (🇬🇧🇫🇷🇨🇦)—provides 🇺🇸farmers w/a permission structure 2 vote in anti-🇺🇸 ways. A luxury that a guaranteed income affords them. They don’t have 2 vote 🟠. Democrats ensure farm welfare 2
They don’t have skin in the game when it comes 2 preserving democracy or demanding human rights & equity. They do not have 2 face the same consequences of devastation & prolonged 💵 uncertainty like millions of others. They don’t have to vote Republican—every party (D & R) bails them out—but they do.
Yeah I get it but honestly, think of them like federal employees if you like but we need that soil to keep growing food. We grow so much we actually let much of it rot but in Maine, even with subsidization, small farms have been closing by the dozens a year. US already imports like a 3rd of our food
Also that they believe Trump when he says the trade war would hurt "our adversaries while strengthening America" and blatantly lies about the effect of and who pays for tariffs.
Like always they voted because they felt everyone but themselves would be affected.
You’re problem, you voted for him.
He didn’t care about you, you voted for him.
He wanted your vote, you voted for him.
He’s screwed you, you voted for him.
Losing your farm, you voted for him.
We warned you, you voted for him.
You’re problem.
Why thank you grammar police! I totally know it’s wrong but you cannot go back in and correct your spelling in Bluesky. I tried. Other people got my message. Glad you get it and reminded me that I screwed up. Have a great day.
P. S. My mother was an English teacher so I’m well informed.
Thank you. There are times I forget to go back over my post and then when I see errors it drives me crazy. But life is too short to worry about it too long!
By the way, I'm not saying I don't make spelling miss steaks. Eye Sir ten Lee dew from time 2 thyme.
It's true! I've been know to make some Thai pose and gram attic gull errors, even knot on purr puss.
😀👍
Yes, social media edit functions are seriously lacking.
Cheers!
By the way, I'm not in the grammar police. I'm in the grammar and spelling volunteer neighborhood watch. We're far more annoying. 😂
Impeach me from my unelected post!
When they see the light- there will be room in my heart. But seeing the light is not even close to "the leopard is eating my face and hurting the wrong people!" whining. Seeing the light is calling it Fascism, owning that anti-DEI is ensuring mediocre white men can success despite incompetence, etc
It’s easy to feel no sympathy for this guy however, In a two horse race between Rep and Dem, it’s obvious many good people will vote for the “other” side. Real issue is the limited candidate choices provided by the democratic process and the current level of critical thinking and political education
That headline should read: "I f**ked around and found out".
I'm pretty sure these 'commie' hating farmers will openly accept government handouts to help them through this madness. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
We tried to tell you but you ignored character and integrity — also an actual insurrection not to mention multiple sexual assaults and bankruptcy and porn stars …. And you’re bummed you got the corruption you voted for ??
here's the thing Mark, Trump is not doing anything he didnt say he would do BEFORE the election...Trump talked about his love of McKinley and his tarrifs policies in the 1890s BEFORE the election....so farmers who VOTED for Trump complaining now about tariffs can kiss my Harris voting ASS!!!!!!!
But the Republicans want that they want an uneducated person to vote for them and keep voting for them because the uneducated person can’t see that they’re getting fucked in the ass and that’s why they are dismantling the department of education if we keep them stupid, we got em
If we ever get our country back, the first thing that we need to do is put laws into place that cannot be broken and we need to fix our education system. We need to put term limits on our senators and congressmen. And we need to put very unbreakable boundaries on the president and Scotus
That's exactly why they want to dismantle the Department of Edu.
Senators are meant to be there for a long time, generally a Senator gets 2, maybe 3 terms at most - that's 18 years! Capping it at 2 won't change a lot.
Money is the main problem with the House and shorter terms won't fix it. 😞
The original intent from our forefathers was for every man to be able to serve their country politically for a short period of time and then go back to their respective place in society and their jobs. This was not supposed to be a political career and they should not receive benefits for life
Somewhere it became much easier to watch Faux News every night, and have the Pete Hegseths tell them what to think. Now I have people half my age, thinking they can debate someone who’s voted in 14 presidential elections and all the midterms, because of all the TV they’ve watched.
TV? Many people under 30 get 100% of their news from Tik Tok. It's the main argument for Tik Tok being sold to company outside China. I say the word "channels" to my grandson and he has no idea what that means.😆 They don't read newspapers either it's almost entirely streaming news from non-MSM.
Majority of white Christians have voted Republican in every single presidential election since President LBJ (D) passed civil rights. Maj of black, Hispanic, Asian/Indian, Jewish and Muslim ppl vote Democratic every time
Are you trying to claim that white ppl are less educated??
Nope. Those are both facts, draw your own conclusions but I will that most of the people who can't read also fall into the HS or less education category. I'm certainly not saying that white people are less educated but most of this nation is made up of white people so most of them are white.
Internal Fox News texts show us they didn't believe the 2020 election was stolen but they invented all of their stories anyway. They're paying billions in lawsuits and the didn't just fire Tucker Carlson but shit canned Rupert Murdoch from the company he started.
When they become locked out of overseas markets or when their market share is drastically reduced, when 🇺🇸 stops providing them welfare payments aka bail-outs, and especially when the tech-bros & oligarchs come knocking at the door, w/newly purchased boots in hand, forcing them 2 sale the family farm
He voted for this. Trump was very clear about his idiotic tariffs plan while he was campaigning. Why is this guy begging for it to stop? I bet he's upset that it didn't only impact the people he hates.
While the Trump supporters were voting traditional party lines or voted to show us liberals, or voted because they thought Trump actually cared about them, the rest of us voted to protect the US from a fascist madman. Kamala would have protected these farmer's rights. They didn't listen.
Yes, a lot of these male voters (and some female voters, as we've unfortunately seen), would rather let the country burn to fill the pocket of Trump than ever let a woman into power. It's shocking.
As a man I was admittedly oblivious to women's complaints about society. Seeing an incompetent buffoon being chosen over 2 qualified women has dropped the scales from my eyes.
Well that's just it, they wasn't following party lines, they believed in what he was peddling, as long as it didn't affect them it's all good now it's affecting them their moaning
They were warned repeatedly what was happening, now this is all on them
I have no sympathy for anyone who voted for Trump and is now suffering. The rest of us knew better than to vote for Trump, but thanks to you guys were suffering, too. This crap -- ALL of this crap -- was predictable and avoidable.
And he should have understood the basic reality that bailouts can’t replace long-term market share. He KNOWS Brazil is ready to take our market share. So WTF did he think was going to happen with another trade war????
I no longer have the capacity to care about those who voted for this catastrophic government. This guy is getting what he deserves. We tried to tell em.
He should be begging for impeachment and calling his reps every damn day just like the rest of us. The corruption goes far beyond needless tariffs and dumb trade wars. He’s giving Putin access to our personal information & national secrets & ignoring S. Ct rulings too, is he not concerned by that?
It’s one of those stories from the Muscovite history. A moment before exaction: “Comrade Stalin, it’s a mistake, I always supported you.”
It’s a law of nature - 45% of any human population does self harm.
He’s not going to resign; he needs to be forced out through impeachment and convicted for his many crimes. https://citizensimpeachment.com is pushing for just that.
Tfg doesn't give a damn about farmers. He doesn't care that you voted for him. His ONLY concern is for himself & his out of control narcissistic grandiosity. He needs to be #1. The big dog sticking it to the world. He won't give up his f'ing tariffs until he's convinced that they're harming HIM.
I was flipped off for my window decals. I had yard signs stolen. I had jacked up trucks act like they were going to run over me. I was called all sorts of names. Now, all of a sudden they want my sympathy. Caveat Emptor.
I suspect that applies to grown-ass adults. But we are talking about the party of perpetual victims of their own actions, beliefs and ideology, but not before pointing fingers at others. They have to be reminded of cause and effect as much as any other five year old. IMHO.
My street had signs stolen, too. We thought crimes against widows at first, because oddly enough, they attacked them first, then for weeks didn't do anything until election night. Although, some signs were boobie trapped with oil and gel food coloring.
Boom. When we lived in the rural midwest we didn't even do yard signs. No point. They'd disappear overnight and we'd invite vandalism and harm to our pets. We finally decided for multiple reasons (including a threat from a family member) to move, technically we're political refugees. Zero sympathy.
Be careful. The bastards loved shooting up my hillside because I was not one of them, so I can only imagine what your situation might easily turn into now.
Have relatives in SW Iowa. A few cousins are Dems, but I don't talk politics with most of the others. My aunt will bring it up, but she is a red hat and assumes I am, too. She repeats Fox. So, like anywhere else, a mix.
Yup we put up a pride flag and we got tomatoes and bs reports from code enforcement. They stole our Ukrainian flag. Now they learn the hard way. We tried to help them learn the easy way. My kid who is trans is contemplating leaving this country for their own safety. I keep sympathy for innocents.
Trump is a raving lunatic who told the voters exactly what he planned to do. The rest of the world looked on and asked “Who would vote for this madman?” Now we know.
I'm torn between saying Haha!! &, I'm sorry that you weren't smart enough to see it coming, but that's how Darwinism and the free market work. What's really the shame of it is that you were ok with black & brown & gay people being crushed, but you're mad the leopard is eating your face too...
Oh no, if it isn’t the consequences of your actions
I have absolutely no sympathy for Trump voters. You’ve had a decade of evidence, of Trump & his ilk getting more & more extreme, bigoted, cruel & hateful
But now that it affects you, suddenly you care? Fuck all the way off
I think the same things when someone says they're conservative up here. 🇨🇦 That and they're not very well educated, especially since they should be able to see what Trump is doing.
54% of Americans are illiterate - can't read above a 6th grade level. The largest Repub demographic are white men and women with a HS education or less.
We have Trump because we failed to educate his voters.
What is there to say? He screwed you his first term, and now you have voted for him twice more.
Sorry bro, this is FAFO.
See you in bankruptcy court. JD's little app will buy your land for cheap. Next time vote for people who actually will give a damn about you and your farm.
If Trump had not bailed them out the first time maybe they would’ve learned a lesson. There has been enormous truth regarding who Trump is and what he is capable. This farmer is learning a lesson the hard way. If he is paying attention.
Whether or not I agree with the author, his rationale for voting for Trump was in the article. I’m not a farmer, not even close, so I thought it was informative. Maybe you should read it.
Maybe you should examine the claims Caleb is making in the article, Edward. I’m including an article that perhaps if Caleb had read, he wouldn’t have voted Trump in 2024.
It’s the same reason they all give though. Less taxes, less regulations, less federal spending. I know Trump supporters who are not farmers who would say the same three things.
I read it. He blames Biden for not enforcing something that trade experts called “weird.” It was Trump’s weird trade deal in Trump I they thought would save them. Guarantee if he’d have won in 2020 the results would have been the same.
I guess I more than just skimmed the article because it seems like no matter who is in the White House, the plight of the American farmer gets ignored.
It got technical for me because I'm not American or a farmer. The farmer voted for Trump 3 times no matter how he would be for many Americans and the world.
The plight of a bunch of Americans has historically been ignored and he didn’t care about anyone but himself. The selfish nature of Republicans (politicians and voters) is why we’re here. Farmers have had multiple bailouts, yet bitch about student loan forgiveness. 🙄
Farmer Ragland even blamed Biden for not pushing trump 1.0 policies but said prices right now are $10 a bushel but they were $17 a bushel 3 years ago. How dumb can this person be. It is the thinking of people like this who gave us traitor trump 2.0.
At this point if this whining jackass decided to vote for any candidate I was intending to vote for, I'd have to seriously take a second look at the candidate to find what horrible character flaw I was missing.
The farmers think they’re getting a bailout this time? They’ll lose everything and blame it on the dems.
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket, or crop.
I completely understand but if we're going to defeat him, we need as many people as possible working together. So now is not the time to say I told you, so even though we all really want to.
If they are losing their business, but they won’t work with us because we say I told you so, then they were never going to work with us in the first place.
If you read the article, he still loves trump. He is upset that he is being affected. Until they realize trump doesn't give a shit about them and spend some time self reflecting why they are okay with all the harm being done to others, I have no space for them.
He didn't say he loved trump He said he liked the deal that trump worked out for farmers during his first term that he says didn't get carried out because of Biden. And that's why they all voted for him again. But now he's going to find out that trump is not his savior..
I understand your point but these jagoffs already knew who Trump was and voted for him anyways. This farmer will vote for him again if they could because they voted for fascism.
But… these farmers didn’t care until they were affected. I have a hard time caring about a person who voted for any part of what’s going on. They voted for something. Maybe it was for women to be oppressed or inhumane treatment of immigrants and not tariffs? I can’t really care. The f’s are gone.
Does he say, "I made a mistake. I should have voted for VP Harris." I suspect he never will admit that and he'll keep voting for Republicans because this literally happened to farmers the first time. They had to be bailed out.
And he thinks it’s a sign of “good faith” on Trump’s part that he expects China to call and beg to make a deal, even though that is clearly not happening.
Rather than blame Trump and his own mistakes, he will guaranteed blame China and Democrats for his misfortune.
Do you know him personally? Then you cannot say that. There are many who will turn on trump before the midterms or by the midterms. It's called resistance.
Many people will do that, I agree. And fair enough, maybe this guy will do a 180. But he shows no sign of that. In fact, the only resistance he seems to have is to the possibility that he made a poor decision in November.
Despite overwhelming evidence of support to kidnap and deport US CITIZENS to a third country’s gulag/concentration camp. Y’all are sure quiet when injustice is directed at the folks you don’t like.
“You’re not hurting the right people.”
They’re breaking the law. Your silence indicts you.
But this guy is saying he’s not on our side and is not going to work with us even as Trump destroys his industry so the only thing to say is told ya so
Yeah, no. Trump fucked farmers over the first time. They all hated it, talked about how they'd never vote for him again, and here we are. We'd ally ourselves with them only for them to turn around and make the same dumbfuck mistake again.
I live in a rural, farming area, and these supposed noble 'heroes' that 'feed America' are fiscal morons. They'll cut down an 8 foot wide swath of trees to 'plant more crops' when their seed drill rig is 40 feet wide. That's why they're always poor.
He decided the billions in payoffs from Donald, using the tariff $ from the tax payers, was good for him. He ignored the rest of us. Now his soybean market will disappear & won’t come back. He will still get a tax payer bail out from Donald. decision to think only of himself was an expensive mistake
You know I might have some sympathy if they mentioned any of the other crap Trump is doing. But no, they only care when it affects THEIR pocketbook. What about the constitution he is trampling, what about the harm he is doing to science, etc. Just like their savior, it's all about them.
Like someone said in a different post, we don't see them speaking out about the deportations of legal residents, or any of the other shit going on. We're supposed to care about them? Nah.
The consensus is we’re supposed to be empathetic and not mock these people.
If they’re let off the hook with no pain and trump adjusts the tariffs to spare these guys and hurt “the people he was supposed to hurt,” then they get away with their bad choices and are free to do it again.
My 20yo son was telling me yesterday that we shouldn't be too hard on them, that we will eventually need them to come around (if they can), and that we should be harder on the system of broken education and misinformation propaganda.
He says we should pity them for their stupidity, basically.
I get his point too, and I hate that I feel as I do, but in my experienced few are misguided. They know what they want. They just don’t want it to happen to them. I hope he keeps his good heart, though. ❤️
This guy has three sons that he wants to raise as farmers. Yet he STILL thinks Trump’s a “businessman” who must understand the farmers’ plight, and who is operating in “good faith” by waiting for Xi to call and beg for a deal.
That's why I keep asking "what did they hear when Trump spoke?"
Because I heard him say he was going to everything he's now doing.
It's like they heard what they wanted to hear and tuned out the rest.
When he goes bankrupt and Elon buys his farm to raise white doves for his shooting pleasure, he can look back and say to himself, “I fucked up.” When he begs those who might have helped him for help, they won’t be there because Chump & Elon fired them all. All I can say to him is:
Well, you’re in good company seeing as the “free speech absolutist” has exiled many critics from his platform (e.g., The Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson).
As for “stolen” images… I prefer to view it more just as “sharing” in this particular context, but that’s a whole other discussion.
He doesn’t do the hard labor. He hires undocumented immigrants for that. Next he will be complaining about not having enough workers after the deportations.
Exactly. In the article he mentions his three “full time” employees and doesn’t say a peep about the people he hires seasonally. Fuck him and his vote.
I have to wonder why in hell did you vote for him? Was it name calling that attracted you? That he’s a rapist or is it that he’s a convicted felon on 34 counts and was never in jail? Truthfully he doesn’t give a flying f___ about anyone other than himself!
That's the easy answer, and one the media won't say.
He voted for Trump because Trump hates the people he hates. Which is everyone not in his little circle. He wanted Trump to hurt lots of people, he just figured it wouldn't be him.
I still don't understand how ANY woman voted for him. They voted for a rapist....have they ever been sexually assaulted or abused? Well, I have (in high school when I wasn't smart), and unfortunately, the EJean Carroll case brought back memories from the deepest part of my brain. UGH.
Deb I’m so sorry for what you’ve been thru! I’m sure you were and still are plenty smart!! Trump trapped a 13 yr old as well as E. Jean Carroll. He’s going to pay!!! Like you I will never understand how any woman voted for him!!😡
Thank you. Grew up in the 60's & 70's and it was always shoved under the carpet. When I finally told my mom (Maga, BTW), her answer was: "You didn't make very good choices". Uh, WHO makes good choices when @ 17 in high school?
Hey, you still shouldn’t have been assaulted bc you weren’t “smart.” I’m sure you were plenty smart. I know what you meant, but assault isn’t the victim’s fault. Ever.💙
You were smart enough in high school. You were raped and you were a victim.
Happened to me too, and I used to tell myself that I should have been smarter. But rapists are going to do their damage no matter what. Maybe they had more opportunity, but they are what they are. They are predators.
I actually think it is more the fact that they see Democrats as effeminate, overly gay friendly, overboard on racial equality and all those other terrible things we are emblematic of. Trump's facade runs in contradiction to all of this but they don't see the fakeness of it all.
A transgender woman with her face on a beer can you could only see if you went to her Youtube channel was more important to them than losing everything they own.
Yes. Yes and yes. He is emblematic of the average wh ite person: full of hatred and fear seeded by unethical non taxed institutions and in a constant state of "information resistance" (very.importantlawyer)
These people watch Faux News and actually believe 🍊Voldemort does things on purpose - like, good things to actually run the country. They are in an informational void. They have it on in donut shops and people watch and believe like zombies. They don’t get the whole HE’S JUST A CONMAN thing.
Trump pledged to be for working Americans.
He said what he would provide was better than what Biden had provided, and certainly better than what Harris could provide.
Yes, he slipped in truth here and there.
But willfully ignorant folks filter out what they do not want to hear, much less, believe.
End birthright citizenship, the policy that automatically grants citizenship to any person born in the U.S., regardless of his or her parents’ legal status.
While campaigning for his second term as US president, Trump pledged even larger tariffs than his first term, including 60% on China, 100% on Mexico, and 20% on all other countries. He also proposed tariffs to penalize US companies that outsourced manufacturing, such as a 200% tariff on John Deere.
It’s an inevitability. Somewhat like the passage of time, this finding out stage.
All the grown ups in the country who were used to there being consequences for our actions are not surprised by any of this. We’re not interested in their pain because we voted for the sensible candidate.
Fuck them.
And in true Maga style, he blamed the fact that he didn’t get the money for the deal that Trump made because of Biden. When in actuality, the blame should be squarely laid on Trump for placing them in the predicament that they were in. So fuck them and I hope he loses everything.
And they are still blaming Biden for Trumps failed policies. They are so deep into the FOX hole that daylight is never seen. Sad really as I take no jo in their demise. The farms will be sold for pennies on the dollar to large corporate interests.
That’s what he gets me. Dude literally side trump caused a 10% shift away from the US that never came back and then says “and Biden never fixed it.” Why did it fall on Biden to fix something trump did that farmers clearly voted for?
Soooo...they then voted for trump, who did the thing originally, and said he was going to do it again. And...they are mad about it...again. Make it make sense.... 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Yep- unbelievable. Everything was great when trump was first in office (guess why? Can we say Obama?). Then it was bad because of Biden! What a fool. All my sympathy left after his ridiculous comments. The man has absolutely no clue other than he’s in a cult & trump is a great businessman.
And still thinks Trump is operating in “good faith,” because he put a pause on some of his INSANE tariff policy. As if the insanity of the tariff policy is irrelevant.
Very amusing how he avoided blaming Trump for the first term trade war. The only problem was Joe Biden, I guess.
F him. Typical republican. I’ll vote for the person who doesn’t give a shit about laws or love of country as long as it doesn’t affect me.
Because it’s a party of selfish self serving people.
There have been multiple rallies with millions of people.
People constantly calling their senators and congressmen to the point where the conservative ones are too terrified to answer.
What the hell do you expect people to do? The whole point of the comments on the article is: FAFO
We could hold a national day of no work.
They want robots to do our jobs anyway, right?
See if the machines are up to the task.
Also a good idea - no buying of anything for some period of time - only that which is absolutely necessary.
They've built on economy on consumerism.
It craters without US.
I mean we've done boycotts clearly they've worked with Tesla and Target. Iceland did a great protest where the women refused to work and it brought on change. I'm for it.
There have been boycott days, strike days, and rally days since February. They are gaining momentum, more are planned. Easily findable online. Time to join us!
Are these Farmers ready to publicly denounce Trump and join us to fight him out?
Or are they going to continue to stand by him until they lose their land?
Are you kidding? Have you read the article? This farmer idolizes Trump. Even now he blames Biden and sees Trump as his savior. Only China and Brazil could hinder Trump's attempt at saving him in a timely manner.
Yes, I read it. lol
It was a rhetorical question, a jab at these farmers who keep publicly crying for attention but still can’t save themselves from their Messiah as he digs their graves on their own damn farm!
And who made his tariff plans no secret during the campaign!!! This farmer WANTED the trade war. He got it. What sucks is that we’re all going to pay for his government bail out while ALSO paying inflated prices at the grocery store. Farmer don’t care, he’ll get his welfare check & vote maga again.
None of this is secret he promised to do all of these things and we told his voters in excruciating detail what that meant for all of us. They felt a transgender woman on a beer can was more important than losing everything they own.
Yup until the welfare queens lose the farm they will keep voting to get kicked in the balls. But Trump will give them ice for their balls so he's a saint.
>>. . .has a rape conviction and multiple fraud convictions.<<
You're too kind. You forgot to mention the string of failed businesses, malignant narcissism, pathological lying and cheating, and being a Russian asset.
Well, he said his wanted his three young sons to go into farming. Golden opportunity. In my state, farms are offering $11 an hour for 9-10 hours a day, 7 days a week. No overtime. Sweltering heat and humidity. Through July. Not sure why he wouldn’t jump at this opportunity for sweat and soil.
Donald Trump told everyone at every rally he did exactly what he was going to do! Those who were stupid enough to still vote for this moron deserve what they get! Kamala Harris told everyone this would happen..she was right!
@mcuban.bsky.social He lost me at “I voted for tRump.” I really hope he, and his family, lose everything. Slow-witted people only learn through pain and suffering.
Majority of white Christians have voted Republican in every single presidential election since President LBJ (D) passed civil rights. Maj of black, Hispanic, Asian/Indian, Jewish and Muslim ppl vote Democratic every time
“As a businessman, President Trump must know how urgent this is. The current trade war with China is a gamble with American livelihoods, especially for farmers.” But as a pathological narcissist who has to defend his fragile ego from delusions he’s being “ripped off,” I wouldn’t count on it.
Ya lost me on your 1st 3 words!
Why would you think this POS is or Ever WAS a businessman??
He was born with a silver spoon, had Dr lie about bones spurs to keep him out of service & Not Smart Enuff to Take Own SATS! & Bankrupt
SIX BUSINESSES
djt = 💩
Don't Insult True Businessmen! 💙✌🏽
“He MUST know”—right? Right? Because if he isn’t a savvy businessman playing 4-D chess, the farmers that voted for him might have made a really bad decision, and they can’t admit that, no matter what befalls them.

PISS OFF
These people are so grotesquely evil it's horrifying.
Careful there. Not all farmers are like this farmer. There are many small- and mid-size farms producing ethically grown and organic food that actually nourishes people.
He failed to read/comprehend the ACTUAL lines.
It wasn't that subtle. He failed to believe the many huge signs declaring how Trump was going to enrich himself at everyone else's expense.
white ✝️ nationalists
🟰
white supremacy beliefs.
"We had one problem, though, that derailed its effectiveness: Joe Biden."
"...Trump announced that he would pause tariffs...this is a sign of the president’s good faith."
Voting for him in 2020 & 2024? You get what you asked for; don’t beg now. Live with the consequences.
Who remembers the term "Grok" something is from a Heinlein science fiction novel.
"Can't trust it" said Bannon.
Why? Can only assume they touch something deep inside. To say "white supremacy" or hatred is lazy & facile. How that got there ???
Same happening here in NC. He went to Helene hit areas, took a pic, promised help, & lied about Biden’s help. Now he yanked funds & FEMA reimbursements. They’re puzzled
He started a trade war the first term & had to bailout farmers.
No bail out this time. You knew what you were voting for.
If his little feelers are hurt, not our problem.
Maga hahahaba so funny
He said he would do tariffs. Big beautiful tariffs. Now that he has, you realize it will affect you. I didn't think farmers were selfish.
But here we are.
I give ZERO f's about the ones who voted for it
Now everyone has to pay the price. Hopefully, the lesson will be painful. It has to be painful in order for these people to fully comprehend what they've done.
I truly believe these folks had to experience what we were warning about. Some folks are just dumb like that... at this point, its on them to reverse, impeach, and move for change. No one listened to us!
I definitely want to echo, I hope it's painful for them.
#Trump
Give it your all I say!
It sure seems like every soybean farmer is the stupidest mother fucker around
Now he’s got the vote he doesn’t give a fuckertyfuckfuck about them
If I could only take 1 more holiday & it had to be USA, I’d stay at home
Everyone who's been around a while has fallen for the rhetoric and regretted a vote.
But I can't get past the fact that THIS time, in THIS election, they KNEW their vote was specifically going to HURT people (and families).
Fuck'um.
#MAGATS
A
Mandate
And not overwhelming
But farmers voted for Trump at much higher rates than others. I feel for those who supported Harris. I have absolutely zero sympathy for this dude (Pres of the American Soybeans Association!!) and his ilk.
I get it but remember
Otherwise all of our food will be made by like 3 corporations.
Like always they voted because they felt everyone but themselves would be affected.
He didn’t care about you, you voted for him.
He wanted your vote, you voted for him.
He’s screwed you, you voted for him.
Losing your farm, you voted for him.
We warned you, you voted for him.
You’re problem.
Grammar matters.
Spelling matters.
Other than that, well said.
P. S. My mother was an English teacher so I’m well informed.
I totally got your message!
The spirit of your post is excellent.
Do you lose your comments and likes?
Occasionally I want to add a line!
It's true! I've been know to make some Thai pose and gram attic gull errors, even knot on purr puss.
Yes, social media edit functions are seriously lacking.
Cheers!
By the way, I'm not in the grammar police. I'm in the grammar and spelling volunteer neighborhood watch. We're far more annoying. 😂
Impeach me from my unelected post!
This is what these farmers voted for.
My guess is they still support blubbering baby man.
I'm pretty sure these 'commie' hating farmers will openly accept government handouts to help them through this madness. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
54% of Americans are illiterate - can't read above a 6th grade level.
The largest demographic of voters for Repubs are white men and women with a HS education or less.
It's hard to read about tariffs when you can't read. We're failing at education.
Senators are meant to be there for a long time, generally a Senator gets 2, maybe 3 terms at most - that's 18 years! Capping it at 2 won't change a lot.
Money is the main problem with the House and shorter terms won't fix it. 😞
Are you trying to claim that white ppl are less educated??
35+ are still using mostly traditional mainstream media for most of their news.
They've never even heard that story
I hope the pendulum swings back in the opposite direction and soon!
They were warned repeatedly what was happening, now this is all on them
Every one of these "cry me a river MAGAts" says that they'd vote for him again.
So what he is essentially saying "Keep doing what you are doing but only after you helped (only) me out"
EMPATHY
I am all out of sympathy for them
I do have a crop of tots n pears for them but gosh - it’ll all rot as trump got rid of all the laborers
O well
It’s a law of nature - 45% of any human population does self harm.
"But he was only supposed to screw 'them', not us!" Stupid MAGAts!
Me:
“You’re not one of *them* are you?”
They came back after I fled Iowa for California and confirmed, “She *was* one of *them*!”
Iowa in September 2018. What’s it like now? 😱
Glad you have eyes open. Keep safe, and as well as can be friend.
I have absolutely no sympathy for Trump voters. You’ve had a decade of evidence, of Trump & his ilk getting more & more extreme, bigoted, cruel & hateful
But now that it affects you, suddenly you care? Fuck all the way off
Quite frankly, you deserve the ramifications.
To quote many of those on the extreme right.
"Elections have consequences"
Why is my education level not high? I also dislike Trump and even hate him
We have Trump because we failed to educate his voters.
have sympathy!
Sorry bro, this is FAFO.
See you in bankruptcy court. JD's little app will buy your land for cheap. Next time vote for people who actually will give a damn about you and your farm.

He doesn't begin to understand world trade, and how the Chinese are not going to call donOld.
https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/petition-for-resignation
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket, or crop.
And again in 2020, afterTrump’s trade war cost soybean farmers signif market share. And then blamed Biden for not fixing Trump’s damage.
He voted for Trump in 2024. And apparently still thinks Trump will ball him out if he begs.
This person will never turn on Trump.
Rather than blame Trump and his own mistakes, he will guaranteed blame China and Democrats for his misfortune.
If he acknowledged some fault on the part of Trump, I would reconsider my conclusions. But he hasn’t. It’s Biden’s fault!
They’re not admitting a failure in their decisions
They’re upset re loss of income
Selfish
Self serving
They don’t care re little kids & mass shootings cuz god & 2A
They’d be right back w trump the minute he reverses ANY of his 1000s of Fd decisions
#FAFO
“You’re not hurting the right people.”
They’re breaking the law. Your silence indicts you.
I live in a rural, farming area, and these supposed noble 'heroes' that 'feed America' are fiscal morons. They'll cut down an 8 foot wide swath of trees to 'plant more crops' when their seed drill rig is 40 feet wide. That's why they're always poor.
https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/petition-for-resignation
If they’re let off the hook with no pain and trump adjusts the tariffs to spare these guys and hurt “the people he was supposed to hurt,” then they get away with their bad choices and are free to do it again.
Now enjoy a good laugh at his expense.
He says we should pity them for their stupidity, basically.
And many of them just have no empathy. They wanted others to suffer.
My son says they were raised that way, and they don't know anything else. If that's true, we need to fix it.
I told him that's not an excuse. 🤷♀️
I understand his point. I just think he hasn't talked to them enough yet to understand the difference between ignorance and willful ignorance.
I have tried reasoning with many of them. I have shown them facts and truth. They didn't care. 🤷♀️
They're 30 and 40 year olds, not children.
They voted for the hate, and got hoisted by their own petard.
But it’s all Biden’s fault.
Because I heard him say he was going to everything he's now doing.
It's like they heard what they wanted to hear and tuned out the rest.
Thankfully one of the even bigger land owning rich elite capitalists will buy up his land.
As for “stolen” images… I prefer to view it more just as “sharing” in this particular context, but that’s a whole other discussion.
He voted for Trump because Trump hates the people he hates. Which is everyone not in his little circle. He wanted Trump to hurt lots of people, he just figured it wouldn't be him.
Or Harris, Crockett, AOC, Klobuchar and Warren?
We need good people. Intelligent, educated and honest.
Of which many, many, many are women.
Happened to me too, and I used to tell myself that I should have been smarter. But rapists are going to do their damage no matter what. Maybe they had more opportunity, but they are what they are. They are predators.
I think they are attracted to his defiance
They project onto him unwarranted & unearned characteristics
Manly
Tough
Powerful (v actual abuse of power)
Defiant
It’s insane I know!
Absolutely
We all know what Trump is and always has been ..
It’s that they hold on to some ‘fake reality’ - 2 are Marine other a Navy guy
They’re dwelling on the ~good old days - deployed to ME.. ports of call
Booze & ‘broads’
Manly men needing to ‘confirm’ their selves?
Not all, but approaching 70 million

He said what he would provide was better than what Biden had provided, and certainly better than what Harris could provide.
Yes, he slipped in truth here and there.
But willfully ignorant folks filter out what they do not want to hear, much less, believe.
What planet do you live on. He's been a constant liar throughout his first term, in between, and now.
But I it wasn’t subtle or missable. It was frequent, blatant, and blaring.
I guess all the MAGAT geniuses were too busy parsing his slurring and mispronunciations for secret Q codes to actually LISTEN and THINK.
I live on earth.
How 'bout you?
