Yeh, or the tax payers will bail them out after they’ve kowtowed to Donald Trump.

suepat.bsky.social•88 days ago

And all these years they have hired these illegals because they can treat them however they want and yet the government never went after THEM. Why not? If these companies were not hiring illegals, less would come.

iexited.bsky.social•88 days ago

That was always my big WTF. Not just farmer works but landscaping, roofing, janitorial, child/adult care. Many of these jobs are populated with immigrants. What's this mirror sunglass wearing, 80k truck driving person going to do he needs work done? Wifey will need to learn how to drive lawnmower

4gabriel.bsky.social•88 days ago

Fred - pardon the language but they are Dipshits 🤷‍♀️ they don’t understand a damn thing. So yea they voted for this - I bet some on purpose because 👆

kathryn59.bsky.social•88 days ago

Funny AF... so stupid

vivbernstein.bsky.social•88 days ago

Maybe it’s all just another grift. Payoffs to keep Trump from taking their workers.

anndee1014.bsky.social•88 days ago

Oh, yes, they voted for it. They just wanted those jobs to go to ‘Muricans, but not themselves, or their friends, or their family members. So thank a red hat MAGAt.

noahfleetwood.bsky.social•88 days ago

They knew, and they will beg and pay daddy to let them keep their favorite ones

cett1961.bsky.social•88 days ago

If I thought that the economic pain soon to be felt by all of us would cause MAGA a moment of reflection about their choices I would say do be it, it’s needed to purge us of this movement forever, but it won’t get them to reflect because they’re incapable of it, they’ll just blame something else.

So now they see their grocceries are going to go up when the only way to harvest crops is a higher wage for the maga to pick them

Trump voters deserve what’s coming.

studentofthesoul.bsky.social•88 days ago

Yes they do, but why should the Kamala supporters be punished also?

Lots of Hispanics voted for him. Abuelitas will be rounded up and sent back.

jaycsbskysocial.bsky.social•88 days ago

Even though this was told to them multiple times.

evergladespro.bsky.social•88 days ago

Our election is over thank God! The people have voted, now we as a country are obligated to make the best of this situation and see what happens! Sure, there will be changes, hopefully for the better, not worse! Let's try to unite for a working functional country!

tk-28.bsky.social•88 days ago

You gotta think of trump as a greedy mob boss in a b movie. “Those are some nice workers you got there, it’d be a real shame if something happened to them. You know, I can offer my protection. . . for a fee.”

somebody11.bsky.social•88 days ago

That’s because with them “Stupid is, as Stupid does”. You cannot reason with stupid people.

Too late dumbasses

democracy-deb71.bsky.social•86 days ago

Sadly Fred, no. Their Maga programming has put all thinking in lock down except- racist visions of brown-skinned immigrants taking their jobs, raping & killing them, & destroying their dream of white America.

okiehemhead.bsky.social•88 days ago

I cannot wait. I'm willing to live through it, I'm self sufficient anyway as a horticulturist. I cannot WAIT for the farming crash. For the roofing crash. For the hospitality crash. I never thought I'd be here, but here I am.

quinn23.bsky.social•88 days ago

it is mostly going to be innocents who suffer.

curlysuzey.bsky.social•88 days ago

Huh? I don’t get it.

evey-hammond.bsky.social•88 days ago

Let the right-wing learn the hard way. Maybe at least they'll learn something.

curlysuzey.bsky.social•88 days ago

Gotcha. That’s my dream scenario too.

jtunes6.bsky.social•88 days ago

It’s actually quite possible they go after the cities mostly. Any of these things that are being proposed, they come with the implied quid pro quo. It’s like handing our federal aid only to states with governors who praise Trump, etc.

zazadem.bsky.social•88 days ago

How high will prices go? 🤔

paghetti.bsky.social•88 days ago

Floridians knew this from personal experience and FL still went for Trump. it's not pro-fascism. it's stupidity.

Just shows how stupid that man is

rachymac.bsky.social•88 days ago

"Promises made, promises kept" I hate that I feel this way, but maybe Dems should not rescue Republicans from their horrible policies anymore.

evey-hammond.bsky.social•88 days ago

Of course not. They assumed it would be focused on their "enemies."
They didn't learn the first time.

The saddest part is Trump voters also didn't think about the "trickle down" effect: stores and restaurants losing sales, produce prices growing, tax base shrinking...

artweber.bsky.social•88 days ago

Trump supporters -- You may even have known Trump was a con man when you voted for him, but what many of you STILL don't realize is that YOU are his mark!

You will soon find out that what you THOUGHT you were voting for is NOT what you're going to get.

We tried to tell you.

I think of all the country club members who will wake up one morning next spring and find their golf course is no longer in very good condition, because their vote for Trump cost them half the club's grounds crew.

michaelstahle.bsky.social•88 days ago

A thinking populous is not what the MAGA party wins on. These people voted against their best interest. And they will still do the mental gymnastics to blame, well I guess, which ever Dem is the current boggie man.

mercmwr.bsky.social•85 days ago

Care workers.

mamagin.bsky.social•88 days ago

These policies are nothing but him putting his palm out to be greased. They will be applied selectively, if at all, after all the bribes are in.

ladyluck13.bsky.social•88 days ago

I agree.

hotio.bsky.social•88 days ago

What this reveals is their - “ TRUE STUPIDITY” and lack of knowledge in how the system works , and it proves they are low information voters. What did they expect !

noladogmom.bsky.social•88 days ago

Pay for Play. They pay Trump enough and he will exempt them.

nadiahyc.bsky.social•88 days ago

They were literally holding up signs at the rallies and cheering for mass deportation. These people all need to suffer the consequences of their ignorance.

lauramariemusic.bsky.social•88 days ago

Did the think “The racism and xenophobia won’t affect me.” Even now, do they have concern for their works or just concern that their businesses will collapse?

And even if he “spares” some industries, this state of chaos and anxiety is awful.

curlysuzey.bsky.social•88 days ago

Up and down the five here in California is all farmland and Trump signs. Why should they get an exemption? They voted for this. But I really hope that they don’t deport people. It’s truly terrible.

trickcyclist.bsky.social•88 days ago

Just like UK Brexit only 1000 times worse. We had crops rotting in fields because there was no one to pick them. But the Fascists were happy morons.

jaycpea3.bsky.social•88 days ago

They will be okay he will throw money at the big Maga farms. We the people will suffer with the monopoly on food and overpaying for food or go without.

richardhowes.tech•88 days ago

I doubt they will be gone. A few unfortunates will be sacrificed for appearances. Most will be left alone.

It was always a political football and never a problem either party wanted to solve. They are part of the economic viability of many sectors.

No, because they're fucking idiots!

dgrodsk.bsky.social•88 days ago

ristox.bsky.social•88 days ago

I'm no expert, but inflation will be wild in Usa after Trump is done.

thecatsme0w.bsky.social•88 days ago

It'll fuck everyone. The ripple effects of the tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico will spread worldwide. I remember watching softwood lumber tariffs nuke the local economy (3 of 4 mills closed) back in the 90s. It's gonna be real ugly for a bit everywhere 🥺

flatlander-fanatic.bsky.social•88 days ago

It won't be world wide, most countries know what they are doing

cattypie.bsky.social•88 days ago

Will he deport them, or will he cave when Big Food and Hospitality titans complain and hand over some untraceable PAC money? If his choices are sticking to his guns or fleecing people out of more money, his greed usually wins.

rangerkitty.bsky.social•88 days ago

Nope they are a fn cult. The others actually thought the orange asshole was going to help the working class. People have a very short memory about what happened in 2017-2020. Part was covid and the rest is just stupid.

"trabaja para vivir, no vivas para trabajar"

evilwoman46111.bsky.social•88 days ago

Deportation is just one of the dangers.Just wait till tfg put tariffs on these countries and they retaliate by imposing tariffs on the USA exports. That is what will kill farmers in our country. It will also kill our manufacturing in the USA. GM just laid off 1k because of expected tariffs.

rebelspikeyfloof.bsky.social•88 days ago

Exactly

mr-dude.bsky.social•88 days ago

….and if you work in an office building get ready to do your own janitorial work.

hunjun.bsky.social•88 days ago

And DT will plan to seize their assets/freeze accounts, "illegally gained", to pay for deportations.

bck4more.bsky.social•88 days ago

THIS is primarily what MAGA voted for.
They should get all of their deportations without exception.
They should get everything they voted for in it’s entirely.
Let’s be authentic on this.

barksdalecliff.bsky.social•88 days ago

No they won’t! It was all lip service.. just like 25% tariffs! That’s only enough to raise prices, NOT encourage any sort of domestic capacity increase. Even with additional 25% it’s STILL cheaper to import and raise prices than it is to mass produce T-shirts in the United States!

dorislincoln3.bsky.social•88 days ago

cocopazzo.bsky.social•88 days ago

Funny how they didn't think that through. I guess they just want mass deportations of immigrants who are not doing work for them 🙄
I can't make any sense of this mess. Other than just plain vicious hate mongering.

bluelodestar.bsky.social•88 days ago

⭐️ Mass deportations raise strong emotions, but here's a question: Is there the same outrage over the impact on families when someone is arrested for breaking other laws, like drunk driving? Why should deportation harm a family more than any other illegal act? Love to hear your 💭

People who voted for Trump only heard his promises to fix everything. Facts from experts didn't factor into their decision making one bit.

siezetheclay.bsky.social•88 days ago

DeSantis dumped on immigrants the last couple of years; farmers and others who rely on those workers started reporting their laborers were leaving FL for other states. If this goes national it's only going to snowball and wreck the US economy.

kobemom.bsky.social•88 days ago

And there’s more. Soybean farmers have to choose to sell at current low prices or just wait for tariffs to
Completely bankrupt them.

bobfrost.bsky.social•88 days ago

Why should he spare them? Isn’t that what they voted for!

lovemypupper.bsky.social•88 days ago

You just know most of them voted for him too

mrspebbleton.bsky.social•88 days ago

I haven't heard about this happening, but seems like many will go ahead and flee the US to avoid the pain of what Trump has threatened. Even if he doesn't actually follow through, seems like the damage will have been done.
