Farmers want ANOTHER bailout
https://youtu.be/eNFAv4rhnMMAmerican farmers are facing their worst economic crisis in decades, with bankruptcies soaring and family farms at risk of disappearing. But why are taxpayers being asked to bail out farmers who voted against their own interests - again?

Socialism is redistribution of wealth to poorer from richer. Capitalism is redistribution of wealth to Epstein class from the rest of us

Farmers are always socialist, free taxpayer money, crop insurance and they sell to a COOP. A million dollars to keep their failing farm afloat is good, using that money for free school lunches in the county is bad.

Oh, you have to understand that when a CONSERVATIVE receives federal money it's "benefits"... they're just getting a rebate on their taxes before progressives give it away to brown people or anyone else MAGA hates

This is the part where the farmers start putting "No Farmers, No Food" and "Like To Eat? Thank a Farmer" bullshit stickers on their government subsidized diesel back windows, and playacting as the noble benefactors of food.
Christ, they're tiresome.

Zumindest kenne ich alles von dir geschriebene aus Deutschland auch. Hier gab es vor 2 Jahren massive Proteste, bei denen sie Straßensperren errichtet haben und sogar die Fähre stürmen wollten, mit der der Wirtschaftsminister mit seiner Familie aus dem Urlaub kam. Auslöser war die geplante Streichung der Beihilfe für Diesel.

Let's not forget that these multigenerational farmers got their land for free when it was stolen from the indigenous people and given away - yes, given away - by the US Govt to encourage Western expansion. The only restriction was you had to be white to qualify... So they got something that didn't belong to them for free just for showing up and being white, and have been given socialist bailouts and subsidies for 130 years since then to stay afloat while their land has gone up in value. Then they voted for the one guy who promised to destroy them by taking away their sources of fertilizer, labor and foreign markets in exchange for taking bread out of the mouths of children and punishing brown people. Sounds to me like karma is finally checking their privilege.

Hey farmers, maybe next time don’t rage-vote for the thief just because he promises to stick it to the libs. I’d rather the price of food double than bail out another of these maga cunts. As far as I’m concerned, they are directly responsible for creating this mess. Everyone knew what trump was and they elected him anyway.

u/Radiant-Mean 2d ago
"Who did you vote for?" should be a required question on any application for any sort of government assistance. It should be more of a formality since it should already be known and it would be just to catch (and punish) people who lie, Trump supporters should not qualify for any form of government assistance, or anything that was funded or supported by government grants.

u/Botasoda102 2d ago
When farmers voted overwhelmingly for trump's racism/bigotry/ignorance, did they care about people losing healthcare subsidies, SNAP, jobs, VA cuts, tariffs, deportations, etc. Hell no. I'm tired of listening to their whining now. Suck it up like the rest of us.

u/Behndo-Verbabe 2d ago

The Democratic Party has always been awesome to our farmers. The Republican Party has done nothing but hurt farmers for the past 50 years. It’s hard to understand why a lot of farmers vote for Republicans. It’s not in their best interest.

Nope, fuck em, this coming from a farmers son. If you want to vote for regressive policies then you get to face the consequences like every one else. Next time educate yourself and realize the Republicans have NEVER done anything worthwhile to the American farmers and ranchers. If you look back at the past 100 years you’ll see everything from Electric, to telecommunications, to water management is ALWAYS because of the Democrats.
