But is it enough to help the farmers forget about it come election time?

[–] gustofwind@lemmy.world 46 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They’re cultural Republicans

Nothing would change the way they vote, nothing

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I mean, what choice do they even have? Vote for the DEMONcrats?!??

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 32 points 2 weeks ago

You have voters who are so brainwashed that even if they fully believe that Trump screwed them will still vote for the next GOP candidate.

At best, they will stay home and refuse to vote.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They have a proud heritage of voting to get kicked in the nuts by Republicans and blaming Democrats for it. Please respect their idiotic decisions.

The common clay of the new West.

Asking the real questions!

But all a challenger has to do is remind them that Argentina got $80b from their “America First” president.

[–] nixfreak@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Doubtful, full price is what 28 billion in loss.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 0 points 2 weeks ago

It's all the Democrats' fault, so vote MAGA again.

[–] ClanOfTheOcho@lemmy.world 61 points 2 weeks ago

I'm tired of bailing them out every time they decide to screw me at election time.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 39 points 2 weeks ago

I feel like farmers probably voted for Trump, so they should probably just live with the consequences.

[–] PMmeTrebuchets@lemmy.zip 38 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Idk I think they should try pulling themselves up by their bootstraps instead of accepting a government handout

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago

American farmers are just lazy and don't want to work anymore.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 34 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So the people that voted for this are demanding more of a payoff.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's why they voted for this.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Well, that and the in-group virtue signaling, and all the racism.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 31 points 2 weeks ago

If you voted for Trump, you shouldn't get a dime.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He gave argentina more than double that

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 points 2 weeks ago

While shutting down food for poor Americans. Argentina needed the money more.

[–] Ancalagon@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's the point. It's called corruption.

[–] bigfondue@lemmy.world 32 points 2 weeks ago

JD Vance was an investor in AcreTrader, which buys and sells farms. How convenient!

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Then stop voting for facists assholes. I hope every last farmer ends up in trump’s for profit homeless prisons

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But they are fascist assholes

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 4 points 2 weeks ago

Many of them are just really stupid.

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

They're ungrateful socialist.

12 billion and leopards to eat their faces, the nerve.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago

Did you vote for him?

Then this is all on you.

[–] bklyn@piefed.social 12 points 2 weeks ago

Have the day you voted for!

[–] nixfreak@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 weeks ago

No shit , this administration is the dumbest in history.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

So the countries we export animal feed cornmeal and ethanol to are really gonna be sad. They will have to get that shit from one of the many other countries that want to be primary suppliers of the massive amounts inedible corn we turn into a few burgers.

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

I’m sure the tariff refund. The check for like a month of healthcare. The DOGE refund. Will solve all of their issues.
