    that “free market capitalism” they think they have/had was worth it huh? pay workers more so you can find them locally, or if you cannot, close your farm. or fight to remove all borders (objectively a good thing) so you don’t have to worry about the made up an ever moving goalposts that is “immigration law.” or fight to remove capitalism and off a few burbs with one stone.

    Not sure what to tell you dipshits if you didn’t know this would happen after last time. It’s a literal repeat for farmers.

      That’s why they had to be BRIBED in his first term. They expect those handouts/bribes again, I’m sure.

    Well, goooooollllly. And gee-whillickers.

    Now just who the fuck could have done this to us? How could Kamala and her cackle do this to such fine, upright REEL MERIKANS?

    “The whole thing is screwed up,” said John Painter, a three-time Trump voter who runs an organic dairy farm in Westfield. “We need people to do the jobs Americans are too spoiled to do.” [emphasis mine]

    Well, lookee here. Gosh, I wonder if there is any correlation to voting and outcomes?

    Also, is this guy stepping up to do the job, or is he “too spoiled”?

    Good.

    I hope they lose their jobs and have to struggle to find another living while a corporation buys their land.

    The people that hire a ton of immigrants unerringly vote for the guy who promises to remove immigrants. What did you think was going to happen?

        What a kwinkidink considering this:

        JD Vance gets rich by owning an app (acretrader) that helps investors outside of the United States snap up real estate deals (including many family farms and rental properties) that are then owned by people who have never and will never see those places and who ONLY own those places to obtain money and power in our country.

      They blamed it on “spoiled Americans”.

      They’re blaming this on liberals and “people don’t want to work anymore” again. Because they’re fucking mentally lazy and broken.

      Here’s the thing: they aren’t asking for a reversal of the policy, they just want a fix to the problem. A solution that the criminal-industrial slave complex can provide…

      My favorite bit of the story:

      “People don’t understand that if we don’t get more labor, our cows don’t get milked and our crops don’t get picked,” said Tim Wood, a dairy farmer and a member of the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau board of directors.

      Oh, I do understand. I think it’s your farmers that don’t understand, when it’s time to vote.

      They were told that it would just be the criminals and gang members, and they were stupid enough to believe it.

        Some? Maybe

        Mostly it is just that their hate and selfishness overrides everything. It is the same reason that pro gun republicans still won overwhelmingly after the massacre in Uvalde and farmers keep voting for republicans no matter how much they get screwed over. Because as long as they can believe someone else is suffering more, they are happy.

          I think you vastly overestimate how informed these people are on anything related to politics. Most of them don’t think any further than, “vote red because that’s what I was raised to do.”

      It’s too bad the punishment for what THEY voted for only applied to them, since they asked for it. It’d be nice if normal Americans could go on living our lives under a normal administration…
