Farmers cheering for USAID cuts might want to check their receipts—$2B in sales comes from those programs every year. Maybe don’t cheer so hard while cutting off your own supply line.

I have stopped feeling sorry for any of them. If your stupidity causes you pain, maybe you will learn. You are obviously not learning by using your brain and critical thinking skills.
As Forrest Gump said “stupid is as stupid does.”
Everyone enjoying the fafo angle, remember that when all small farms are lost to corporate, we will pay whatever price they decide, and accept whatever quality they offer. I enjoy a good told you so like the next person, but I remember the 2019 after effect on small farmers. There were suicides.
I understand the concern but what I don’t understand is that farmers saw what he did to the US soybean farmers in his trade war and still voted for him. If people care about nothing else why couldn’t they see what the potential fallout is for their farms? And I not it’s not all farmers
Some people have lived a life lacking in the art of self preservation. When you have never been a targeted group, it's difficult to scratch the surface and believe the insidious plots of others. Privilege, perhaps?
"He won't screw me." Is the attitude many people have when it comes to him. It's how cults think. Some won't even believe he's screwing them while it's happening. They will look around for someone else to blame. That's how cults work. Some will wake up, but many won't.
Trump will cut them checks (subsidies aka wellfare) like he did during his last term-when he started a trade war- to keep them happy. Who cares if crops rot in the fields.
maybe MAGA can look into night school. They’ve got 4 years to get a little civics class under their belts before the next test. Oh hey MAGA , try not to bruise the strawberries we hate them mushy.
TIME TO BRING THE SIT-IN BACK IN A HUGE WAY!
EVERY SINGLE GOVERNMENT BUILDING! EVERY ONE!
The history:
The San Francisco federal building sit-in, the only one that endured, lasted 28 days. It began with a rally outside the federal building, then inside, where people REMAINED.
Should’ve stood up for women’s rights, eh farmers? Now they’ve screwed us all. Malice toward the women in your nation has come back to eat your face in the form of a leopard.
I love all the fucking farmers that voted for IT and now are crying. It's your fault he's here and you deserve what you get for voting for this useless mother fucker!
I’m scared the desperation will result in using prisoners for free labour and no one will say anything when the prisoners haven’t committed any crimes and were branded a criminal because of the colour of their skin.
I worry about this too — making being unhoused a crime adds another demographic to the for-profit-prison pipeline. We need to strike out that part of the 13th Amendment (after we end this coup)
We can say “fuck the farmers” and I feel the same way - but famine is a tragedy. Anyone who has lived through a period when people die en Masse due to hunger knows why USAID exists. The outcome of GOP and Russia destroying our government and law enforcement will be very dark.
D'you know. #UK farmers (most at least) decided to blast their own fucking toes off with #Brexit.
Must be something about wading knee deep in crud that makes farmers, well, stupid.
Farmers have been voting against their own interests for decades. Very few have any comprehension of the interconnections that make up our complex web of ecology and life.
Eh, they will though. Then they'll blame liberals and trans people when their farms fail. This path ends in polgroms, not in angry people learning to love.
Just think, a national policy that supported our farmers and fed people in other nations. It's the closest to win-win as a policy can be. There's an idea that good for one group is bad for another. BTW, it's also very close to Christ's teachings.
The taxpayer funded bail out they’ll get will be even better than the taxpayer funded USAID commodity price. Trump would gladly take care of a few thousand white fellas over millions of disabled and poor and coloured folks.
Houston local news had stories on this. 2 stations reported that farmers are in limbo like the grain sitting at the port and ruining.
Last time farmers were bailed out after tariffs took their markets. Elon said there would be pain.
