You're stupid. They think you're stupid too. You thought that the democrats were going to make you gay so you voted against your own interest. Now ICE is stealing your employees, your crops cost more in other countries, and nobody will help because you aren't billionaires.
Nahhh some are up for Trump raping thier kids and forgiving him and remaining loyal, so there's some brainwashed shit going on here that's beyond the scope of understanding of a sane person. Losing their farms won't "wake" them up.
I think there's also a huge factor to consider where, at least in my experience, angry dummies that don't have empathy for others are also pretty bad at predicting how they themselves will act in a novel situation. It looks like this one has temporarily switched from "I am very badass" mode to "I am very christlike" mode.
IDK, farm owners are an extremely small part of the population. Even farm workers are only like 1% of the labor force. They're not really the common clay. If they get it early, it will likely be because the big players in the space bribed Trump and/or other officials.
I would feel a lot more "leopards ate my face" about this if I could actually see that any of these people voted for the leopards, rather than merely being members of demographics that tended to vote leopard.
Dear MAGAs, the GOP told you they were going to screw you to death. They even created a step-by-step guide (Project 2025), detailing exactly HOW they were going to screw you to death. You. Got. Told.
This is what happens when you treat politics like WrestleMania.
So I remember seeing a local news report about a soybean farmers association president talk about how soybean farmers haven't recovered the market share from Trump's first term, meaning they recovered some under Biden, and how they were all behind Trump because reasons and racism.
Well there guys, have the day you campaigned and voted and remember to say no to socialism.
Got banned on reddit because of this post. Apparently "Die scum" is a threat of violence. Had no intention of pursuing a visa and travel there to slap anyone, not sure how this was implied. Just hoped they get sweet sweet karma.
I know this community is sort of for mocking these people but if this part of the article doesnt show how hard some of these republicans lives are then I dont know what does:
"“In the last 14 months, five of my customers have committed suicide. That’s how serious this is,” said another Arkansas farmer who also works as an ag equipment financier."
Maybe we should be helping each other instead of kicking people while they are down, so they might not have voted for trump to begin with.
I'm done feeling sorry for people who can't think for themselves. These results are because of someone's actions, and those actions were not mine. You want someone to help? Vote for a government that will help make people smarter not strip away their education and leave a bunch of dumbfounded idiots behind
They voted for Cheetolini so he would hurt others because they are sadistic assholes. Now they’re complaining that the bully in chief is bullying them. They deserve every inch of this.
Sucks to suck. Financially stable (i.e. blue) states could bail them out today and in a week, they'll harbor just as much resentment for them damn librulls as they did before.
Probably more once they soak in a Kremlin-concocted marinade of lies about how the Democrats did it to them in the first place and forced them to shamefully beg for relief. Oh, but also, they're self-made gumptiony bootstrap-puller-uppers who made it all on their own by the sweat of their brow. Can't forget that.
Hundreds of struggling Arkansas farmers are pleading with the federal government to provide emergency funding amid a farm economy crisis
... many facing bankruptcy...
...where most farmers in Arkansas, Delta, lost money...
Emphasis added. There are more examples, I didn't want to repost the whole article. I brought up money because it's sort of a major driving factor and the specific thing that they are asking for.
I'm not sure where you're going or, to an extent, how you got there. What do you think I was talking about before with the possibility of blue states bailing out red ones (as per tradition)?
That's the "survive and provide for their families" money, where are you seeing "money for greed" coming into play?
Ever hear the saying "you can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped"? We voted to help them (or at least not tear everything down whether it was warranted or not), they voted for everyone to be miserable instead, and misery won.
They literally did try to vote in their own best interests. Noone has their back politically, thats the point. If you can't see that then you might not be as tuned in as you think.
You can't both sides this one. Biden is a massive headass for not stepping down and allowing a Democratic primary, but he didn't abandon rural America. Look at where the majority of the infrastructure money was headed. Remind me again, was it Trump's concepts of a health care plan that was a lifeline for rural hospitals, or was that the ACA?
For all their flaws as a party, Democrats don't generally ignore rural livelihood, and they certainly do a better job of catering to it than Republicans. They're just not as good at paying rural lip service on the places these people get their media. If you thought Democrats actually only cared about they/them, you're not in a position to question how tuned in anyone is to politics. If you're just talking about how rural voters feel about the parties, then sure, but nobody was disagreeing with that, just calling them naive for thinking that way.
See thats the problem, money is always headed to rural america but never gets there. I'd be happy if you had some better examples of how democrats have actually helped farmers in the past decade.
It takes time to spin up projects and get them approved, meaning the visible progress on these sorts of bills are usually back loaded. Half of the funding was announced, but weirdly enough the person in charge of disbursing those funds isn't Biden anymore. Who's responsible for making sure those funds actually get disbursed now? I'll give you a hint: if it doesn't make it to rural America, they shot themselves in the foot.
You also didn't address the impact that the ACA had on keeping rural hospitals afloat. I guess health care access isn't important to farmers until they no longer have it. Neither party is rushing to increase the already pretty generous farm subsidies, but only one party is making their inputs significantly more expensive while reducing demand for their outputs. I sure hope those farmers aren't importing potash from the neighbor that we decided to initiate a trade war with. Farmers are finding out how exposed they were to global trade markets and the asymmetric effects of retaliatory tariffs. It sure looks like Democrats have been helping farmers all along by simply not being Republican.
Most of the Republican base (blue collar) votes against their best interest because Republican politicians appeal to their bigotry, hate, and fear. They voted for a fascist who clearly telegraphed he was going to do fascist things. These are generally not good people. It's theoretically possible for them to be rehabilitated, but I don't know how that would happen.
He tricked them into thinking he'd help them out, same as the democrats do and have done. Hard to blame them at this point. I think we might have replaced racism with partyism in America, the way y'all are acting.
They weren’t kicked when they were down. They actively rejected policy and party that could have helped them or their kids. They kicked themselves in the head and want to be bailed out.
Reminds me of that bash.org quote: "The biggest problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying we should kill the dumb, but why don't we take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?"
Except in this case we kept on putting warnings and they shot themselves anyway.
