My guess is that the vast majority of Wisconsin farmers voted pro-fascist (i.e. tRump) in 2016, 2020, and 2024. So, if I'm right, fuck them. Ain't blowback a bitch? Suggestion: plant this year's crop on Earth 1.0.

Any guesses how many farms 🍊💩 will be responsible for bankrupting THIS time? During his last term, farm bankruptcies were up by 20% thanks to his China tariffs.

This hurts everyone! There are no winners here - wait - yes there are - the rich people that will get the tax cuts made possible by these cruel cancellations.

Wasn't this approved by Congress? Where does he get off bypassing the Legislative Branch?

And this is coming from a party, the Republicans, who profess family values? Mafia family values?

This is so sad. And of course the article mentions that aside from feeding food insecure folks and providing a boost & more security to farmers, it also promoted farmers like women, and traditionally marginalized folks. Feels targeted…

Maybe it’s an ideal time to send some Democrats into these areas in Wisconsin and North Carolina instead of book tours?

Food Banks in North Carolina lost millions of dollars from the Federal Government to buy from farms across most of the State. https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/charlotte/news/2025/03/17/federal-cuts-threaten-local-food-assistance-programs

Many of those small farmers voted for the Felon…they have generally voted Republican and time and again the Republicans have screwed them over…doubtful that they will learn not to vote against their own self interests.

Disgusting

Cruelty is the point.

I think most Wisconsin farmers regret voting for the orange turd.

uncleralph.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'd bet they'd do it again.

kcroysdale.bsky.social•2 days ago

Republicans exploit small farmers all of the time to fight against estate taxes. This shows what they really think of small farmers, pull out the supports they need so they are forced to sell to the mega-farms.

kcterpstra.bsky.social•2 days ago

And I bet that 80% of these farmers voted for the liar-in-chief. We tried to warn you.

Some people are just now learning that their success in life is based on a social contract with their government,or as some call it socialism.
They probably have looked at the government as big and bad except when they benefit from it.

Trump is screwing over farmers AND poor people!

It's part of their strategy.

Food insecurity before DOGE “revised” the government website
HUNGER QUICK FACTS FOR 2023
Overall: About one in 7 households (13.5 percent) experienced food insecurity, or lack of access to an affordable, nutritious diet. An estimated 47.4 million Americans lived in these households.

okay7.bsky.social•2 days ago

5.1% of U.S. households (1 in 20) experienced very low food security, a more severe form of food insecurity, where households report regularly skipping meals or reducing intake because they could not afford more food.

okay7.bsky.social•2 days ago

Children: 13.8 million children lived in households that experienced food insecurity, up 3.2 percent from 2022.

okay7.bsky.social•2 days ago

Adding DOGE’s government website is a flat out lie.

rhodyrebel.bsky.social•1 day ago

And I will bet that 90% of them voted for him

I guess farmers had the idea that they could vote safely for trump, and their buddies in Congress would still keep funding all these programs and subsidies.

angelpete.bsky.social•2 days ago

yep...voting matters...#FAFO

Welp. That is happening across the country. Trump doesn’t stand with the farmers. Guess who did? That’s right-Kamala Harris.

Same thing in MA. These poor farmers who depend on these contracts and the kids in schools who now can’t get fresh local food.

fungibev.bsky.social•2 days ago

It was a win-win program, for the farmers and the people who needed help putting food on the table. Now it’s dead because of Trump.

Watch them offer up these farms to the white south African farmers who he paints as victims. Only white people can immigrate now under nazi rules.

What many people might not realize is that a huge amount of children are fed through food pantries. They're literally taking food out of children's mouths.
