Good luck to them on that one! It doesn't seem to be working for the Palestinians, the Ukrainians, the Afghanistanis, the Yemenis, or anybody else currently being bombed to death, not to mention the 200,000 young (and not so young) men that Bloodymir Poo-tin has sent to the meat grinder!

You voted for it. Now we will all suffer. Keep voting for hate. This is God’s retribution for your hate for the other. Shame. Shame shame. Now big billionaires maybe even china will buy your farms. Thanks for that. Your Selfishness. Now you want Americans to bail you out. I would soon starve. you are about to FAFO.

I have no sympathy for them. They're hoping Trump will give them money just like he did last time when he killed the trade with China.

Their ignorance is the source of their suffering (and ours). Let them organize, protest, approach their members of Congress, etc. This is the time for their accountability.

It’s very sad. They fell for trumps lies. And when they go out of business, the farms will be taken over by big money corporations and guess what our grocery bills are going to sky rocket.

This is no time to get nasty with it serves you right bull shit. It’s time to come together they aren’t the enemy Trump and his cronies are the enemy.

I disagree.

The people who voted for the Dumpster have been supporting him and other Republicans like him for a long time. They knew full well what he was about, they just didn’t think they’d also be caught up in any fall out when he ‘owned the Libs’ for them.

I have zero sympathy for MAGAts, they’re getting what they wanted, but they’re also finally starting to see their Cheeto god for the asshole that he is. Let them cry, they’re responsible for this mess and they need to be held accountable, too. Don’t think for one second they wouldn’t be ecstatic if everything was going the way they were hoping and Dems were the only ones suffering.

Save your moralizing because many of us see things for what they are and we aren’t interested in more ’high road’ bullshit. Our eyes are wide open and we’re seeing the danger in front of us for what it is: a threat to our Democracy. It’s past time for everyone to wake up and take off their rosy glasses.

You mean, white supremacists and authoritarian fascists aren’t our enemy?

These farmers are simple people who don’t have the time to research politics like the people on this site. They have been out on their farms struggling to get by.

Trump comes along with his song and dance and tells them he gets it, he’s on their side.-They believed him.

So here’s the choice

We can be bitter assholes and say “it serves you right.” Or we can try and open up a dialogue and show them that there is a better path that includes them. Trump has told them that Democrats, liberals are out to get them, I don’t know if you’ve listen to his rallies and the lies he spews but he scared them. He was their buddy, he’d protect them.

So now when they’ve finally seen his true colors we have a choice. We can blow them off and do what Trump wants us to do, or we can have some humanity and forgiveness and actually have a dialogue. Because I can guarantee when Trump is out, there’s a line behind him waiting to take his place.

Many farmers are well-educated in farming, but dumb as shit when it comes to common sense. God cannot help them, but voting out MAGA next year can help.

Sorry, but I don't feel sorry for these people in the slightest! I've been following all of this from Austria since Trump was elected president! And no one can convince me that you can only find out outside of the USA...get neutral information about what's really going on!!

You voted for Trump in "good faith," well...so that's just how it was! Now you're confused that things aren't going well for you...and now you're praying to God!?!? You should get better information and also ask yourself why your "beloved" president continues to go on his golf vacations at your expense, while he and his misbegotten government gang are ruining the economy!

If you believe in God, then maybe you should think about it now...whether everything you're now having to experience firsthand isn't God's punishment!! 🤷‍♀️

And no, I'm not making fun of these people or (as an atheist) of faith! But this naivety annoys me!!!!

What they truly voted for was harm to people who are not like them: Non-whites, non-evangelical christians, scientists medical providers who follow science; frankly, anybody they can be convinced to hate--oh, yeah, “The Trans,” the gays, the whole LBGTQ spectrum.
