"A whole lot of farmers voted for this president and they feel strongly betrayed."

Donald Trump has "betrayed" American farmers who voted for him, according to John Boyd Jr., president of the National Black Farmers Association.

^^^^^

"He sold us out to Argentina, to his friend," he added. "It's humiliating."

"Farm foreclosures are up, farm suicides are up, farm bankruptcies are up, and all of this happened within the last 10 months of this president's leadership."

He added, "A whole lot of farmers voted for this president and they feel strongly betrayed."

It's like "Latinos for Trump," which I'll NEVER understand.

As soon as Stephen Miller sank his talons back into the White House, his first order of business was to dispatch the Wicked Witch of the East and her ICE goons to round up Latinos, whether they were "for Trump" or not. They just zip tied them and threw them in the back of a van. There was no discussion of who they voted for.

Blacks for Trump, or Gays for Trump, or anyone else voting for someone who they KNOW doesn't give a damn about them, maybe even hates them, and who they KNOW is out to do them harm.

I find myself wondering just what kind of self loathing mentality, gets up in the morning, looks in the mirror, and says to oneself,

"Y'know, today I think I'll just go out and give someone five bucks to kick me right IN the azz.

Because he's done it before, and he's promised to DO IT AGAIN."

They knew beyond doubt that a Trump administration would hurt a lot of people, and those motherfuckers didn't care. They thought they wouldn't suffer any consequences for their vote. Well, fuck them. I hope they suffer as much as any ICE victim.

You know what the really tragic thing is? They'll turn right around and vote for Republicans in '26 and '28. Because they're malicious and stupid. They'll vote the same way expecting different results. If they were all pissed off and planning on voting Democratic, then I might have a little sympathy, but fuck them.

This is the right answer. No place to sell soybeans, too fucking bad, Argentine beef too fucking bad, no FEMA help too fucking bad, no SBA money too fucking bad, no cheap labor you have exploited for years, too fucking bad. You did not think it would happen to you and in the process you fucked us all.

Weak ass pieces of shit. I will give these farmers some Republican advice, "Get a job!"

Let them all commit suicide. They voted for someone who will actually cause the deaths of many who don't want to die.

Trump did exactly what he said he would do.

He shouted it from the rooftops.

He was on TV 24/7 telling them exactly what he would do.

They should feel very stupid.

They were warned and ignored all warnings.

They should feel dumb as fuck.

They voted against their best interests.

They voted against the best interests of the country.

You are stupid and fuck you.

Your votes caused this shit.

Take a good whiff and enjoy the stench you created !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lot of us non-farmers feel betrayed by the farmers who chose either not find out about Trump, or else to find out, and then not to care because Fox Noise told them how to think. So let them suffer the consequences of their vote, because if given the choice again today, knowing how badly it would turn out for them, they would gladly vote the same way again. Because libbruls. Because soshalists. It’s all they’ve got. As much as I tire of posts railing against “the establishment” and “corporatists,” that’s half how tired I am of hearing ignorant Foxsuckers say how all ills are the fault of libbruls and George Soros.

on MSNBC. He was certainly sounding the alarms. One that struck me was that not only do farmers not have markets now for their soybeans but that consequently the storage silos are mostly full so there's not even a place to store their crop.

I tend to cut small farmers a little slack on politics because they may have better things to do with their limited free time than pay close attention to today's often ugly politics and propaganda.
