No amount of bailout will replace an inability to grow food, and alienating the world will reduce the foreign production we can purchase.

Stupid people don’t deserve sympathy. The first time around I’ll give you a pass because we didn’t really know. But after four years of evidence, they decided that being the stereotypical racist xenophobic white nationalist farmers was the correct move so enjoy your prize!

Can’t say they weren’t warned.

Let the farmers reap what they had sown. NO BAILOUTS! No debt relief for students, no bailouts for farmers.

Sorry, not sorry.

Don’t worry, Trump will bail them out with more billions, but it’s not socialism because they’re Republicans.
Guess who’s helping to drive these farmers to bankruptcy? It’s Ms. Maballine Couch Romancer.

I voted against this yet I must suffer for it? I’m truly in hell.

Folks, it’s by design. Private equity is on a buying spree driving us towards neo-feudalism.

You can farm a year without fertilizer. It’s not ideal, but smaller operations with livestock “grow their own” fertilizer. And the ground isn’t empty, it would just be depleted compared to “normal” years, rendering lower yields. All that to say, it sucks, but there are nuances.

They were warned. But a lady in a pant suit laughed.

And they’d vote for Trump again, against their best interests, every time. It’s really hard to have sympathy here. They’re more scared of cities, of immigrants, and of people who think different than them than they are concerned about the wellbeing of their industry.

While we’re here, a reminder that 50% of the global supply of fertilizer is transported through **the Strait of Hormuz** so there’s that too.

Fafo yes, but also, we are going to see food costs skyrocket much like fuel. Are we so great?

This is the problem with having wealthy people in charge. If their policies bankrupt ⅓ of all farmers. To them, that just means they can make great deals buying up land

Billionaires will buy up all the farms and control our food

As the liberal child of a conservative farmer, this thinking is embedded in the fiber of their being for generations. It is party voting, not candidate voting. And trust and believe, getting them to peel back the layers of blinders they have on is not an easy task. The propaganda became gospel.

Met part of my family that own a dairy and corn farm during a funeral for my grandfather. I haven’t talked to them in years as they pretty much wrote me out when I came out as a gay trans guy. I heard they were struggling on the farm, especially with all the free labor (their 8 children) being grown up and moving away. They are also extremely MAGA. I don’t feel sorry for them.

Why so many people vote in favor of their own destruction, boggles my mind

Can’t they just fertilize their fields with all the bullshit they believe?

You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land — the common clay of the New West. You know… morons.
