When will we start doing the uncomfortable things like looking at (agricultural) labor laws and asking why we do things this way? How could we do them better? Instead we get “deport the cheap laborers stealing jobs!” then “no, wait…” And the cycle continues. The problem doesn’t start with the workers. They’re just the easiest to attack.

    I don't think Trump has ever seriously asked this question about anything. And definitely not when it comes to improving other people's lives.

    Idgaf about him, but the rural farm people that have been getting propaganda 24/7 from their news, radio, neighbors, and pastors...well if they can break out of the echo chamber it'd be real nice if we could have more rural progressive support.
