I'm pretty upset about it. I really don't like seeing fields of rotting crops, and I don't want all the farms sold to mega agrocorps

It's like an idiot ignoring your warnings and losing a finger. It just doesn't feel good, and now there's blood everywhere, and they're not going to be the one cleaning it up

Who do you think is going to buy up all the farms on the cheap? This is bad for all of us

I'm a farmer. I warned my neighbors. I've had two hardcore trumpers walk up to me nowon two separate occasions now and tell me to my face "you were right"

I took no victory lap when either of them admitted it. The fact they admitted it was mind-blowing in and of itself. I didnt think they could ever be broken to admit it.

My response, "we've got three more years of this bullshit".

We're all in this together. But now you fucking understand.

How do you fall for this twice, when he continues to hype the same exact ideas that caused this exact same thing to happen to eg exact same farmers in his first term

Farmers: I'll still vote for Trump every opportunity I get.

Trump pulled this shit first time around. This is China Trade War 2.0. They had all the time in the world to think on their vote.

It's not even funny or ironic at this point. I feel sad these people are in our society. I feel sad that in the back of my mind there is a thought that the world would be better without them in it. This horrid thought is that our quality of life in this world could be increased by a systematic euthanization along party lines, goodbye MAGA, etc.
These are Hitler ideas, but I can't form a rebuttal against them because it feels like a legal defense for literal evil (deranged pedophile greed worshipping control freaks).

Same here. No tears

Yeah, funny, until the food disappears.

I don't feel bad for those immorally underpaying and abusing the desperate and undocumented (maybe the vast majority of them?), but I kinda do for those who weren't. It's not so black and white, sometimes people are just more stupid than they are evil and fall for low level propaganda. We should strive to build a world that's a bit more foolproof, IMO.

The situation echoes the 2018-2020 trade war, during which U.S. agriculture lost $26 billion, with nearly $20 billion in soybean losses alone. Soybeans accounted for 71% of agricultural losses experienced by American farmers during that earlier conflict.

Despite acknowledging that he believes Trump “loves farmers” and is “trying to do what’s right for this country,” he emphasized the need for immediate action: “We gotta make sure that we survive through these tough times.”

Friends... nothing is changing.

China's smart to redirect purchases to Brazil so aggressively. If they want to create political pressure, it's effective... But I think they underestimate political loyalty to whatever Trump's doing these days.

CCP, if you're reading this, go after the rich guys' pockets. Trust me, that will create pressure overnight.

Yes, technically, because I’m guffawing so hard it physically hurts.

i'm not laughing.

that is food shortages for our future. not just higher prices but missing grocery items from US stores.

Nobody will be laughing once there's no food.

Are trans-farmers a thing? Are they more than meets the eyes?

There are actually a lot of democrat farmers. Most of their polls get really poorly represented by being lumped in with Agriculture Industry as a whole.

Listen: That's where our food comes from.

All the farms around me are proud MAGA and some still have their ugly flags up still. I refuse to support any of them, but my neighbors will. I don't hope for ill will since so much food will go to waste, but sometimes the only way MAGA people understand is when it hits their wallet and HARD.

Have they seen the ‘Kamala was right’ memes from the libs? Those are funny. Send them those…

I'm happy for them because they got what they voted for.

First they come for the workers than the farmers.

Farmers: Good thing Daddy Trump loves me or else he'd be hurting me, my family, and the country a lot more. I better vote for him again, so he knows to be on my side next time.

I am going to laugh and shame every trump voter that gets fucked by his policies. Fuck em.

Them

Can someone explain how Trump screwed over farmers? I work with farmers in the northern US, and it was a shorter season for some, but I don't know how Trump hurt them. Is this strictly because you think tariffs are hurting them, or is it something I missed?
