MAGA Kansas Farmers REVOLT After Trump Signs Their DEATH WARRANTS - Really American



Trump-Voting Wheat Farmers in Kansas are FINDING OUT the hard way as they reel from Donald Trump and Elon Musk's disastrous cutting of a lucrative and life-saving foreign aid program set up by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954.

The destruction of USAID and the program Food For Peace is projected to lead to millions losing their lives from hunger, Wheat Farmers in Kansas and across the country losing their livelihoods, and a massive risk in National Security as one of the U.S.'s largest sources of soft power gets gutted all in the name of petty MAGA Republican Politics and giving tax breaks to billionaires. MURICA. - 07/07/2025.

Farmer bailouts will be coming. If Democrats try and block they will be blamed for killing our small farms and hating our patriotic middle Americans.

Variations on a theme. I Can't Believe I Voted For This is one of many.
Not that it's not true, except the title.

They voted for their own demise because they were blinded by their hatred of liberals and immigrants and minorities.

It was their intent to inflict pain and suffering on others, so for them to suffer is okay with me.

So Too Fucking Bad for them.

Here's a biblical and agricultural reference boys:

The first farmer who spoke could not even bring himself to say Kamala's name!!! That about sums up the root of the problem with Trump voters.

They think "foreign aid" means we send boatloads of cash to other countries and that cash somehow turns into food.

They apparently didn't realize that what this actually meant was that the US government buys billions of dollars of surplus American foodstuffs from American farmers, which we then ship overseas.

This was essentially income maintenance for American farmers, and gutting these programs meant cutting off their funding. As well, of couirse, it means leaving so many people overseas to starve--not that that mattered to them.

Oops!

You'd think these folks would know more about where their income comes from.
