    White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said: “Farmers suffered for years under Joe Biden, who increased the United States’ trade deficit to over $1.2 trillion, raised input costs, and pushed woke DEI agricultural policies." I love that official US policy has become fundamentally not understanding trade deficits and running as far as possible with that lack of understanding. Follow that up with the vague claim of raising costs when the baseless Attack on Iran raised costs by more in a month than four years of Biden. Then finish with the absolutely irrelevant to family farmers woke boogeyman. Are we great yet?

    If Democrats have learned anything hopefully they play fire with fire and screw over these farmers in the future and just force feed them a lie about how it’s Trump’s fault.

    A couple million dollar campaign of billboards, airdropped leaflets and AM radio ad buy-ins about how Trump and GOP caused all their issues.

    I love the dumb fucks who are like “Trump’s policies may have completely fucked up our economy and we made more money during Biden’s administration but he speaks plainly and doesn’t sound like a politician so I still support him.”

    I sincerely hope these fuck heads lose everything.

      Doesn’t sound like a politician, sure.

      Speaks plainly? Buddy, if everyone around you speaks like him, you’re in a medical ward or something. The meandering insulting no point self contradictory mess that passes for him speaking is definitely not ‘speaking plainly’. People that still support him can rot. I only lament that these farmers will go under, get gobbled by big agriculture and that’s probably not great.

      A lot of these farms are getting bought up and consolidated under an increasingly rarified group of oligarchs.

      And a lot of the lay voters are in it for the culture war shit - hating migrants and bombing Iran and beating China (the industry’s biggest buyer).

        China is very quietly executing the “Never interrupt your enemy when they are a making a mistake” strategy.

          That’s the tongue in cheek response. But I think they were very happy to buy up enormous amounts of Iowa pork at competitive rates. And I suspect more than a few CCP bureaucrats are incredibly annoyed at how US racism and fear mongering gets in the way of any economic cooperation

    I’m not one to blame the victim…but when you repeatedly walk back into the pedophile’s house, bend over, drop your panties, and loudly proclaim to the world, “Surely I shan’t be raped this time!” I start to blame you.

    You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.

    I don’t want to see any more coverage of trump supporters. They are idiots. Humanizing them makes the problem worse. They follow their peer group. The only coverage should be about abandoning trump and conservatism.
