This is true. Just make sure they know whose responsible for screwing them over, and the same people screwed you over, and your kids, and everyone else in the US expect for like 2000 people

Guy keeps sticking his keys in a power outlet and gets hurt.

My guy, if you keep sticking your keys in the power outlet, you’re gonna hurt yourself.

Blaming the guy’s pain on his sticking his keys in the power outlet will only get a repeat of the behavior.

Elites want us blaming each other and not them.

Except, he’s sticking his key in the power outlet, knowing it will hurt him, because it’ll hurt people like me worse.

No. Fuck anyone who voted for Trump. Fuck you for thinking that I don’t deserve the same rights as they do.

And I voted for genocide and union strike breaking.

First Past The post voting pushed us all into a corner and there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel. The democrats will proclaim they are not trump, and everyone will vote against their self interests yet again.

Yup. Trump and co haven’t been sneaky and deceptive. They’ve been loud and clear this whole time. These voters weren’t tricked. They voted for their trans neighbours to be dehumanized and made to suffer. They voted for their wives and mothers and daughters to be controlled and owned. They voted for their workforce to be plucked off the street by masked government grunts and shipped to a maximum security prison in another country for life. Personally, I would never be able to look this fucking scum in the eyes again without my hatred of them being visible.

Agreed! Republican voters are KNOWN to Learn Their Lessons! That’s why they DIDNT vote for Trump AGAIN after Covid and January 6th and. . .

From the interviews I’ve been seeing, at least some of them voted against Trump due to concerns about bullshit like this. I expect the majority did vote for him, in which case yes, karma’s a bitch. But a) we shouldn’t be treating them as a single voting block that all vote the same way, and b) regardless of the schadenfreude we get watching the Trump supporters among them freaking out now, there are grave knock-on effects for consumers looming - including those consumers who didn’t vote for Trump.

Hmm, if farmers had actually listened to their friends and neighbors instead of giant signs bought by the rich, they would have realized that Republicans were using them for their votes, so they could eventually fuck them over and create an environment that would force them to sell their land to corporate farm entities and real estate firms, since you know, they bribed him more.

See, the thing is, they needed farmer votes, and stupid fucking farmers walked right into their trap. Now they don’t need farmers anymore, since the plan is to just steal every future election, and now farmers get to figure out what they’re really worth to Republicans.

But hey, they got rid of a bunch of immigrants (and legal US citizens) so that most have helped reduce costs for farmers right? And sure, it seems like all they really care about is helping billionaires, but that will somehow end up helping you… In some way… At some time, right? And they kill right to repair acts, so now you have no fucking way to repair your multi million dollar farm equipment unless you want to get screwed. Oh, and they have no problems selling the water rights out from underneath you… Not that it would be that useful, after they’ve rolled back EPA protections and the ground water becomes too contaminated to use.

No I totally get why farmers love trump. Farming is hard work, now you won’t have to do it anymore! All that land you own? It’s hard to maintain, so don’t worry, they’ll just take that from you too!

Hmm, if farmers had actually listened to any educated people

This really comes across like you think farmers are not educated people. Benefit of the doubt that this is not what you intended but you may want to re-write this.

agriculture is facing another looming financial challenge with the recently announced SHIPS Act […] with Chinese-made vessels calling U.S. ports to be charged port fees of upwards of $1.5 million starting in the fall.

Ugh, I hate this reality so much … :(

Last ship from China is next month. Even if T**** drops the tariffs today, supply lines are already compromised for months.
