Did Hispanic farmhands vote for Republicans? They're the ones that are gonna be directly at risk of getting screwworms in their injuries. If the bosses scale down operations, they're gonna be the ones who lose their jobs.

Do the 12% of farmers in Tennessee who are black also deserve to get fucked?

You do not defeat right-wing populists with snobbery. You defeat it by offering a compelling left-wing alternative that addresses the economic issues which bigotry is peddled as an alleged solution to.

    Thank you. Sometimes I think I'm taking fucking crazy pills on this site with these users not seeing anything wrong at all with their smug, holier than thou attitude. People who like the idea of being for the people, but hate the population.

    Half of Hispanic men voted for Trump. 1 in 5 black men voted for Trump. Agricultural workers overwhelmingly vote republican. We all deserve what we're getting for letting it fuckin happen in the first place, hell even now half of Americans think both parties are the same. So yeah, they fuckin deserve it. So do you. So do I. So does every US American.
