Blue Dot Farmer Gives Red Dot Farmers a Reality Check

That blue-dot farmer is saying what a lot of people don’t want to hear: your vote didn’t just affect your farm. People lost jobs, families watched their grocery bills climb, and Americans struggled to afford basic meals while policies you supported hurt people you may never meet. Now that the pain has reached your own fields and your own wallet, you’re angry? Welcome to the consequences everyone else has been dealing with. Those very same consequences doesn’t just stop at your farm gate.

Did these beef farmers not remember how Trump screwed the soy farmers over earlier this year. Probably didnt matter to them since "oh that won't happen to us" mentality.

That's 100% different. See the people who buy soy are soy boys. But the people who buy beef are big strong manly men, alphas with great big weewees!

Nah, farmers know what soy means in the agricultural landscape. I just think it was acceptable collateral damage because it wasn't them

Trump screwed soy farmers in his first term.

They've had 6+ years to learn. They didn't learn, they won't learn. Learning requires empathy and curiosity, which conservatives fundamentally lack.
