Machia voted for Trump, drawn by promises of border control and national security. “We didn’t want drugs or gangbangers,” he said. But what he didn’t expect was losing some of his most dedicated employees to immigration arrests.

“It’s scaring the farming community,” Machia admitted. “We didn’t think they’d come for the people who help us milk cows.”

LOL. Idiots

It's strange. I live in rural VT and whenever i bike around you see Trump signs on a lot of farm fields. But then you read the newspaper and you read about ICE detaining legal employees at farms and the farmers being upset about it.

I genuinely don't understand.

Complete and dangerous lack of education and critical thought in any capacity

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 minutes ago (1 children)

And the drugs is still happening anyway and those gangbangers were locals anyways so yeah, congratulations 🎉

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 1 points 2 minutes ago

Didn't Trump let in family members of some Mexican drug cartels?

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 18 points 1 hour ago

"We voted for trump..." = you deserve whatever you get

[–] Generica@lemmy.world 1 points 11 minutes ago

Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump...

Then he gets what he gets. I don't feel a damn bit sorry for someone that stupid.

"I hate black people unless they work on my plantation" - GOP voters

It's hilarious because it's the same shit as Brexit. At its core it's racist policies that amount to "we don't like brown people". Sometimes you need to watch the house burn for people to learn.

Sometimes it feels like being happy that Trumpers are suffering is like cheering when a disease dies with the host. It's a momentary happiness that the Balrog fell... milliseconds before you realize it's pulling you down with it.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Nah, not like that at all. More like having the tiniest drop of schadenfreud when the idiot bus driver finally realizes they fell asleep on the job again and we're about to go off the cliff. Much better when the idiots responsible for this mess realize it than not.

The problem here is those farmers will now want to charge more. Even though their labor cost just went down.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

The US can just import more food!

Oh, wait.

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

unless they need to hire someone qualified to handle their administrative duties.

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

LOL. If they had been smart they wouldn't have voted for trump.

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 39 minutes ago

no one is saying they are smart

"I voted to get kicked in the balls and I must say that I was shocked when I got kicked in the balls."

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 15 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, that's too bad. ANYWAY . . .

So you are... Checks notes 2200 miles away from the border. I feel like even if we disregard them voting for trump and just judge them based on that being their main voting issue, they're dumb as fuck, aren't they?

[–] pno2nr@lemmy.world 3 points 32 minutes ago

No he's near the Canadian border, which he was told was a major route for fentanyl.

[–] TammyTobacco@sh.itjust.works 40 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

The guy is worried about gangs, yet lives in rural Vermont. What a fucking idiot.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Idiot, or extreme coward?

... ok you got me, it's both.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago

It is kinda crazy how easy it seems to convince people the safest time in American history is the most dangerous.

[–] breecher@sh.itjust.works 20 points 6 hours ago

Never understimate the power of bigotry as a political motivator, in particular among the uneducated. Trump and his oligarch cronies certainly doesn't.

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 81 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump, the recent crackdown has prompted a deeper reckoning within his community

Umm, okay, no sympathy then. Burn.

[–] ianhclark510@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 8 hours ago

Imagine being so dedicated to a politician/political party that you’re no willing to make a change that costs you 0$ to save your family business

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 26 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

This is exactly when the interviewer should have looked right in their eyes and said "so you didn't learn a goddammit thing" then "enjoy your udders" then left.

[–] Lanske@lemmy.world 22 points 9 hours ago

These maga fuckers deserve all the worst

"We voted for racism, not poverty and hard work! We don't want these jobs - they're for the spi... I mean for those people." --MAGA.
