Discussion They’ll get mad, but they will vote the same.

I swear to Odin, watching the local beef farmers in my town is like watching a guy set his own shoes on fire and then complain that his feet hurt.
These guys will literally lose the farm that their great-great-grandfather cleared with his bare hands, hand the keys over to a mega-corporation, and then drive off into the sunset in a $90,000 lifted F-250 flying three giant flags, chanting “AMERICA FIRST!!”
Every single economic policy hits them like a freight train—consolidated meatpackers squeezing their margins to pennies, trade war tariffs tanking export prices, input costs going through the roof—and their takeaway is: "We gotta vote Red harder next time."
It’s absolute poetry. They treat political loyalty like a religion. They’re sitting on the porch, watching their legacy slowly vanish into thin air, just praying that the next Big Mac-induced gas cloud floating out of Trumpledickskin carries the same divine authority as the white smoke coming out of the Vatican chimney.
"They're taking away our way of life!" Yeah, bro. You voted for the guy who gave a tax write-off to the giant corporate conglomerate that just bought your pasture for pennies on the dollar. But hey, at least nobody's making the cows eat tofu, right?
I’ve got friends in this exact boat. Chest-thumping, flag-waving, total alpha-male cosplay, right up until the bank foreclosure notice shows up in the mailbox. Boo-freakin-hoo.

They blame Democrats for not protecting them from the people they vote for. Because they’re morons.

u/abrandis 2d ago edited 1d ago

Something like this the right wing plutocrats have a sophisticated media (propaganda) operation, to always spin messaging and fault against the Democrats or the immigrants or the socialist or whatever other group is in fashion ..

This is all very deliberately, it's not an accident. Throw in religion and authoritarianism that lots of rural America resonates with.

Yup. Its all by design. The voters are stupid and easily manipulated and so they vote for people who manipulate them.

Both you and u/brandis are correct. However, what I find frustrating is that the propaganda machine is prolific but not sophisticated- which is why it appeals to them in the first place. Fuckin morons.

I’d say it’s very sophisticated. It takes effort to always push the worst messaging.

u/Mr_Poppers_Penis 1d ago

Left wing media needs to start calling that shit out, and if they don't, we need to elect politicians that do.

Explain to them exactly what the grifts are - the culture war nonsense - (Who are you supposed to hate and blame and fear this week. Such as women, POC, trans people, etc.) Explain how it's a distraction to further divide us.

The Republican strategy of implementing policies that hurt the working class but only becomes active when the Dems are back in power.

The religious angle. How can they not see the politicians that claim to be all about God go against his teachings.

Etcetera, etcetera, ad naseum. That list is so damn long.

This is so true. Nacho Pedo just announced that the depleted strategic oil reserve is Biden’s fault and his deal with Venezuela will fix it. None of these voters think logically about that. Yes, Biden release some of the strategic reserve to ease inflation but this moron launched a war, destabilized international markets and released way more from the reserve that never needed to be tapped…

13

u/Dyslexicpig 1d ago

Venezuela currently produces 1.2 million barrels a day. Trump has taken 172 million barrels out of the reserve since March. And apparently, the oil from Venezuela is not capable of being stored in the strategic reserve. Even if it could, it would take more than the oil production for a full year to replenish the reserve.

AM Radio. Hundreds of small conservative owned and operated “christian” radio stations across the less populated areas of America. A special mix of pre recorded “news,” Christian experts reading the weeks talking points delivered by a very sophisticated disinformation machine.

i didn’t want to own anyone, i simply voted for lower grocery prices. i’m a mom with 5 boys at home. that motherfucker said he was going to bring down grocery prices.

all I heard about democrats is they were going to give my boy some type of operation he didn’t want.

I'm sure there's a video still around from 2015, when Trump realized he could actually win the primary — and he was at a press conference, shilling his various branded products on a table.

Trump is starring in his own reality show that he directs. And these people can't make the distinction between cheering for a sports team, which allows you to feel the whole range of emotions with zero consequences in real life, with treating politics as entertainment, where the wins and losses have real world repercussions.

u/needssomefun 2d ago

I have no problem with what you wrote except you made one error.

None of these bastards will lose their farms. That land is worth far more than the temporary losses they're taking from the beef buisiness.

At the end of the day they can lease the land and do "something else" and still life the good life.

And that makes it even worse.

1

u/One-Tip4331 2d ago

Ya know?, you are correct.
I’m pretty sure my kids want nothing to do with the farm and I have to think about that. There’s one farmer in my County that I would consider selling to but damn it, you get him aside or get involved in a group conversation with him and there is much disparaging talk about those less fortunate or not the same race or color as he is. Yet, he relies on those people to harvest his crops because he knows that he can pay low wages because they are a predicament. There is a belief in him that employees should be paid as little as possible.
I may just lease out the farm to solar or construct a mini data center, because I can (it’s my land), and enjoy the rest of my life. For the most part, it’s been a good one.

u/vespers191 1d ago

They’re like the coal miners. She was honest with them when she said coal was on its way out. But that’s not what they wanted to hear.

She wanted to bring in job retraining and green energy. Her plan included safeguarding their pensions and healthcare. But nope, they went with the guy who promised to turn back time and make coal king again. They believed the guy who thought you dug coal with a shovel. 🤦🏻‍♂️

u/Trathnonen 2d ago

My brother had a phrase for this that I'll steal: rural people are stupid breeding moronic. You get a bunch of these people together, and they only talk to people like them, they only listen to their own opinions, because everything outside their little hick bubble is "socialism libcoded atheist gayness", and they end up drinking their own cool-aid. They never stop to wonder why it seems to be that the same people they've been voting for to govern their areas, have not, in literally their entire lives, half a century and more, ever been responsible for what's happened to them. Then they have kids, and they transfer all of that onto those kids. The smart ones leave, because they learn better and have no one to talk to on account of reading and an open mind are as good as signs of leprosy in these areas, and job opportunities are slim to none if you plan to do anything with your life that doesn't involve unhealthy amounts of country music and glyphosate/pesticide induced cancer.

Politically, they are gold fish. They never remember how often they've been screwed over by Republican fat cats, or corporatists. They never remember all the grants and programs started by a "liberal" that supports their way of life and strives to protect them from the same people they vote for. Every election cycle, a new straw-man gets summoned from the deepest wells of their Podunk bigoted hearts and paraded around to blame for whatever that ails them. Immigrants, when they need to conveniently forget who works their farms, builds and roofs their houses, but takes all the other jobs too somehow, gays when they need to pretend it wasn't corporations and wage suppression and tax gifts to the wealthy that made the nuclear family come apart at the seams when a single earner couldn't support a home and mom had to go work full time too just to have the same standard of life from eighty years ago. Abortion, when they remember how much they hate women and don't understand how biology works.

It doesn't matter what election and what's actually wrong with the world, your average conservative has no conception of how the world functions, no basis of knowledge beyond what they're fed in church and propaganda, and they have the critical thinking skills of the members of the People's Temple. Because that's what you're dealing with, not a political movement, but a cult. A religion of half baked worship of an idealized America that never existed, that's entirely supported on their racism, self serving cafeteria christianity, and a healthy dose of generational poverty.

13

u/SilentMulberry9441 2d ago

They hate you more than they hate losing the literal farm. Republicans crafted a persecution complex beginning at least as far back as 2001. This is not something they did to themselves, this is something "the others did to them". Your asking them to essentially destroy thier own ego and thats never going to happen. Buckle up because Democrats have zero plan besides bailouts using your tax dollars while they keep trying to take our rights away. You will end up paying for this one way or the other while the other side laughs in our faces like they always do.

u/Gunrock808 2d ago

The point was that the tactic of convincing people to vote against their self interests began around 2001. There have been conservatives on radio since Marconi.

u/GloomyIndividual3965 1d ago

My point was that the tactic began long before 2001. I grew up in Minnesota and watched in real time as the farmers switched from supporting the DFL to voting red, all the way back in like 1988.

Roger Stone and his friends came up with this bullshit after Nixon was impeached. Flood the airwaves with right wing bullshit, use the "moral majority" to turn abortion into a major wedge issue, use aids to demonize "the gays", etc. They've been working on this plan since the 70s.

They're entirely addicted to being bailed out, over and over again.

They won't properly rotate crops, they won't change from crops that use a lot of water but pay big money. They don't care about (or admit to) climate change. They don't properly pay taxes, especially when retiring & handing the farm to younger relatives. They use public land without proper leasing (like the Bundies). They want big, but cheap, machinery, but vote for the party that promotes offshoring. They want essentially slave labor, while wanting those workers deported.

There aren't as many farmers as non-farmers, but they're VERY devoted to ALWAYS voting. They ignore the propaganda that "both sides are the same", or that a vote "doesn't count". Just like evangelicals.

Many non-magats are easily suckered into not voting, or being told that if ONE ISSUE isn't immediately addressed, that they should not vote, and get revenge against The Establishment.

It's no coincidence that on the road pre-elections, trump & certain fringe politicians both said it was rigged (perpetuating victimhood & distrust of the voting system), and the country's (complex) problems could be solved DAY ONE, but the corrupt Dems refuse to do so.

Any group used to entitlement and power, earned or not, think that well being is zero sum. If women, minorities or non christians get into office, many of those in control are convinced they'll be treated just as poorly as they've been treating others for centuries.

Remember, these guys all voted for him 3 times! The farmers had to get a bailout in 2017. With January 6 and all the Epstein Files that clearly has Trump’s listed by far the most—they still voted for him. You can’t fix stupid. However, the ones losing their farms can go work retail and pull themselves up by their bootstraps wondering how they lost the farm that’s been in their family for 3 or 4 generations. But they can rest easy knowing that JD Vance is invested in a company that buys up all those distressed farms at pennies on the dollar, so at least their boy is a little richer now thanks to them and their life’s work. But don’t feel too bad for them because it will still be Biden and Obama’s fault because Trump and Fox News told them so.

And that's why they can get fucked. 

They could've stopped after the second time he ran and lost, but they kept on supporting him. I don't give a fuck what happens to them, they get everything they voted for because they think this is a game.

u/runnerkim 1d ago

Honestly I really think they're all trying to goad trump into giving them more welfare..er um I mean, subsidy package.

It’s so amusing to see people who live in a 95% white town of 1,200 people, a thousand miles from the border, with top to bottom Republican leadership for 20+ years, find ways to blame immigrants and democrats for all their woes.

But hey, at least nobody's making the cows eat tofu, right?

I got news for you. There is quite the selection  of cattle feed that has soybeans as a source of protein.

If they inherited it, they obviously weren’t smart enough to earn it on their own or keep it, so….

u/soxperry 2d ago

Remember to always play powerball using Trump farmer bailout dollars. Use billion numerator and round down:

First term lotto numbers: 12, 16, 28, 19, 14 powerball is 23.5

Second term lotto numbers: 9, 2, 16, 12, 44 powerball is unknown, we will have to wait until next bailout

Not to worry. Natural selection will do its thing.

It's what happens when you have poison dripped in your ears for multiple decades and across generations.

And the unfortunate fact is that the Republicans figured out how to tell a better story.

1

u/Tvnph 2d ago

You don't understand. You just don't get it.

I don't either, from their perspective but that seems the consistent reply when asked about it. They have nothing to counter it with and yet they won't change their path for any reason. That kind of loyalty should have ended in the 80s because it makes all, and I do mean ALL, agricultural associated individuals appear less than intelligent.

They will absolutely vote the same. Every single time. Without fail.

Well, when you’re at a farm meeting, there’s a time to be well mannered and a time to be a dick. Well mannered yields more intel than being a dick.

u/MattieRiley 1d ago

That was beautifully said. Currently in Fl. Looking into Blue supporting ranchers….hard to find. Would like to buy my beef locally and it looks like I’m going to have to have it shipped. What they are doing to themselves is insane

u/Beginning_Ad8663 1d ago

They will vote for him to PROVE how loyal they are.

u/Guilty_Passenger4483 1d ago

One of two things is going to happen. Either they will continue to vote for the Republican candidates in their district and state that enabled them to be so threatened, or they will end up doing some other kind of work eventually when they lose the farm. There's no in between.

1

u/majordashes 1d ago

I believe it’s a bridge too far for many Trumpers to vote D.

However, I do think their anger at Trump is real and will likely cause many of them to stay home and not vote.

I think we’ll see many Republicans opting out of these midterms. They’re disillusioned. They’re pissed off. This is how they will send a message about their anger.

Frankly, when you feel betrayed and hurt by your previous votes, you lack the motivation to vote that you once had when you were pleased with your party and president.

u/Valuable-Gene2534 1d ago

Farmers are all losers

u/Tricky_Ordinary_4799 1d ago

GOP voters will vote GOP even if Trump personally rapes their child on their eyes.

There's always some swing minority that map vote either way. They decide the elections.

u/TheDonnARK 1d ago

The title of the post is what we should try to aim to fix. Please folks, consider what I'm saying before just downvoting.

Fighting each other is what they want. It keeps us distracted, and lets them continue with whatever campaign they are rolling out. Like national park land being sold off to a developer? That's happening while we are all being instructed by our billionaires to enjoy the tears of some farmers having their livelihoods wrecked (not saying you, OP, are a billionaire [wish you were], just that this is what they want).

I know it is hard. It is in my friends and family too my brother. But how the fuck do we move forward, if saying, "FUCK EM LETS RUIN THEIR LIVES MORE TO ENJOY WATCHING THEM SUFFER" shouldn't be a workable solution?

This is a large part of the nation. And they have been conditioned with persecution fetishes and confirmation biases by someone who believes their purpose on earth is to lie, cheat, steal, lie more, pay off, buy out, cheat more, and lie even more, as much as necessary, to always appear to be "winning." So after being told for over 10 years in some form by this fucking guy that we all "HATE THEM AND WANT TO KILL EM AND TRANS THEIR KIDS AND FROGS," if we turn around and treat them with hate, well, trump wins, because this all NEVER GOES AWAY.

Luckily I don't need to have a solution, because I don't have one, but holy fuck we need one.

1

u/uofmgoblu 1d ago

What you are seeing is frustration, not hate. I agree divisiveness is what the GOP wants, but repeating the past by forgiving and forgetting has gotten us nowhere. The only way they will learn is to suffer the consequences of their actions. We need to stop propping them up to keep them from failing.

u/SputnikFace 1d ago

Mass Double downs incoming. Admitting they were wrong will never happen. That muscle atrophied centuries ago.

1

u/one_two_o 1d ago

The problem is they don't understand or want to believe the end game yet. Trump's buddies want their farmland for very cheap. If trump ruins the farmers, the Epstein class/corporations can come and buy it all up

Also, if they're complaining so much now, imagine the wave of social media outrage from these same people when they start losing everything.

u/Tess47 1d ago

u/Huge-Boat-7457 1d ago

That's the worst thing about it. They ruin it all for nearly everyone, Get mad about it but oh so few of them actually take responsibility for their stupidity.

Financial ruin isn't enough they'll just say well both sides were bad or some other garbage. Then they'll do the same thing in the next election or Maybe two at worst. They need to maintain their level of delusion to function.

Farmers that voted for him have to be the dumbest people on earth. They already had a trial run in his first term with his instability and trade wars that required a bail out. They had a layout to look at in project 2025 that covered this. They saw a guy that said he only cared about their vote.

These people are really stupid and it's why so much time is spent demonizing education and higher learning(I'm not saying it's bad to go a different route but you should have enough sense to not treat higher education as useless or indoctrination).

I feel bad for the oh so small group of them that voted against this garbage but will still get lumped in with those brainless cretins.

u/BasilMindless3883 1d ago

There is some joy in it, but it unfortunately affects us all. I knew this shit was gonna happen. Like many of you, I have family and coworkers try to mansplain how Iran was a good plan because all other presidents kicked the can down the road. 🙄 Ranchers and Farmers will line up to vote for whatever vile politicians run republican next time. Its difficult realizing how stupid these people are. Most of them are genuinely good people. Good citizens, parents etc. Just swallowing the propaganda like its their job.

u/AdministrativeFly192 1d ago

It’s all going to plan. The farmers go bankrupt and lose the farm. Large agribusiness friends of Trump buy up the farms at bargain prices. Trump gets his cut.

They may allow the farmers, who lost their farms, a chance to work for them. Of course, they will have to work for minimum wage.

u/Emergency_Low_007 16h ago

Saw an interview with a red hat. He admitted he was really hurting due to inflation but he figured trump must be working behind the scenes and things were going to get better. I guess that’s better than accepting what’s right in front of your eyes.

u/One_Barnacle2699 2d ago

Just because they don’t like Trump doesn’t mean they’ll vote for Democrats. A lot of people held their nose in 2024 and voted for him a second time. Add those voters to his fanatics and that’s what made the election.

The Democrats have to give voters a reason to support them. Not being Trump is not enough.

3

u/oMaster86 1d ago

Nope. We already tried nice. I absolutely do want them to suffer.

They are actively staying stupid. We (BIG NY, NJ, Democrats, et al.) warned them for 2016, 2020, and 2024.

MAGAts are too stupid to listen. They pretend to do their own research. They believe that they are smarter than actual experts.

No excuse! Trump 1.0 --> Trump2.0. Saying: Fool me once -- shame on you; fool me twice shame on me! Willful ignorance is not a defense. FAFO

2

u/SuperThomaja 1d ago

And that's weird because that should actually be enough. Hell, not being a republican should be enough. It amazes me that we have to talk people into voting for the best interest considering that historically, Republicans have screwed Farmers again and again and again. What other reasons than "we promise not to blow up your farm the way the other guys do repeatedly" do the farmers need?

Honestly, in the end this is all about race. It's always about race. 🙄

u/paradigm_shift2027 1d ago

NO!!! It’s about trans playing women’s sports! That’s THE major issue of Republicans.
Spiking gas prices? Shut up and pay like a good patriot to support Israel’s war with Iran that said we wouldn’t vote for.
Spiking grocery prices? Obama!! Wait…no..Biden!

u/PresentDifferent9718 2d ago

Right, but the leader of your party just met the SIL of the President to receive instructions from their common employer. And you will vote for them

u/uofmgoblu 1d ago

Agreed...and he needs to go. No Bookers or Schumers. We need politicians like Ossoff who will kick some ass.

u/lonelyturtlegirl 1d ago

You are exactly right and I just want to give my perspective as someone who voted for that motherfucker 3 times.

I’m a mom of 5 boys who only eat burgers and these beef prices are ruining me financially.  And now I can’t even trust that the hamburger meat we buy at the store is safe to eat.

That motherfucker promised he was going to lower grocery prices and lower gas prices. He said he’d make the prices go down but now they go up. 

I feel like that motherfucker has spit in our faces and went against every promise he made that we voted for him on. 

However, I will vote for that him 3 more times if I have the option. I am voting in November straight Republican up and down the ballot. I will vote for whatever candidates have that motherfucker endorses. 

Trust me when I say there are millions of moms just like me and voting Democrat is just simply not an option for people like me.

u/WorkerPersonal9126 20h ago

Sadly, most forums still need a sarcasm font. Well done.

u/lonelyturtlegirl 20h ago

honestly, i don’t like what’s happening. i want every Republican voted out of office in November. i want there to be a blue wave like no one’s ever seen before.

that doesn’t mean I’m going to ever stop supporting that motherfucker. I probably never will. I’m still going to vote Republican. I can’t just stop. And I can’t vote Democrat because of my beliefs.

So I just really want all these libtards to show up and vote and help save us from all this. I can’t help you guys. I’m sorry. 😢
