Economy Farmers filing for bankruptcy.

[Lycandroid]

DO you know what's going on with the GOP trying to sell our public lands? I think we put the kabosh on Mojave and Kern.

The same thing going on with Democrats not trying, but actually selling land.

Good. This is what you get for voting Republican.

Trump's America, ladies and gentlemen. This is what they voted for. A child-fucker that is going to bankrupt the working class.

I take it nobody actually read the information I posted, because if you did and came to the conclusion that is an issue that could be entirely blamed on Republicans, you are a complete and total fool.

Farmers in 2024:

FUCK BIDEN! Make America Great Again!

Farmers in 2025:

Don't pity these people. Trump fucked them over during his first term, and the morons still voted for him again. Now they can reap what they sowed.

no we don't cheer on the working class getting fucked over, regardless of who they voted for. yes they got duped. this is still evil.

True. No one here cares about what you have to say. Worry about that mess of a country you live in.

We are in the mess because of the working class who voted for Trump and will continue to vote for people like Trump. F them.

I read very little that you post. I just know that the bankruptcies so far this year are more than last year's total. Your boy is in charge, Skippy. Own it and stop being a bitch.

Well at least you finally admit you are willfully ignorant.

Trump isn't my boy, and I don't support him, pointing out how the democrats aren't your friend on this issue doesn't mean what you seem to imply.

I've lived in a conservative farming community my entire life. These people voted for Trump because they wanted to keep trannies out of bathrooms and litter boxes out of schools. They wouldn't vote for a minority if the alternative were a criminal scumbag, so long as the scumbag looked and sounded like them. They are simultaneously the most vocal, and least genuine Christians on the planet. They actively avoid educating themselves on real-world issues, but passionately defend conspiracy theories that confirm their prejudices.

They deserve zero empathy, because they are incapable of it themselves. As such, they absolutely need to feel the consequences of their actions, because that is the only way they are capable of learning (and even then I have my doubts).

@Lycandroid Nobody is buying your "Trump isn't my boy" schtick. You aren't the enlightened centrist. You carry water for that kid fucker with the majority of your posts in the WR.

This sounds exactly like rural N.C. It's very frustrating.

*Farmers filing for winning

I genuinely wish them the best and hope they can land on their feet. I also hope they learned their lesson.

Never, they will never learn their lesson. They will blame Democrats for not bailing them out with golden parachutes rather than face reality that they voted for this.

RIght, my opinions are pretend, I forgot thanks for reminding me. I will call out Trump and the Republicans for what is true, but I won't participate in the endless partisan witch hunts that don't hold up to any logical scrutiny. I also think it is incredibly stupid to limit your political opinions to any box.

What kind of psychopath wants his own community to suffer just because they have a difference of political opinions ? How pathetic.

I believe you honestly think this, but from the outside looking in, you are clearly on one side and you carry water for Trump all the time. It's reflexive with you. You are a straddler, bro. Just own your side, because you are clearly on it.

That doesn't make sense. If I wanted my community to suffer I would have voted for Trump myself.

I didn't. But they did. Now they'll suffer for their own stupidity. Elections have consequences.

It's kind of strange that you act like you even could care about farmers. You guys dismissed their needs by spouting "Land doesn't vote!" nonsense. Fact is, they could be raking in the dough and you would still have this adolescent hatred towards them. That goes for every one of you goofs pretending to be horrified in this thread too.

 

[badascan]

Do we trust the deduction skills of individuals who've proven untrustworthy? Should we value the opinions of these people? Orange man really bad?

Yeah that's bullshit, I support plenty of things that would be considered left wing in the US, indigenous sovereignty and land rights, universal health care, gay rights, environmental policies. (Not carbon emissions tho, that is a scam)

I am Canadian, why would I carry water for someone trying to destroy my country with the help of our leaders ? That doesn't mean I need to blindly oppose everything he does.

Stop using the phrase carry water, it makes you look like a fool. You have a two party system, it's going to make it impossible to have true represent for everyone.

 

[cincymma79]

I didn't say it did, but farmers depended on USAID for a heap of their income. Do you think it just popped out of thin air and we sent it off in balloons?

Back that up with anything?

 

[rearnakedchoke]

When in the last 20 years haven't farmers been getting fucked by the government ?

What does this have to do with USAID ?

You mean trump bailing them out in 2018 wasn’t helpful? Sounded a lot like the socialism they are so scared of.

Free market!!!

Why did they need a bailout in the first place smarty pants ?

I'm well aware that you think the concept of empathy is strange.

You guys dismissed their needs by spouting "Land doesn't vote!" nonsense.

What needs were dismissed? Their need for...money? They voted against their own interest there. Their need for...labor? They voted against their own interest there. Their need for...healthcare? They voted against their own interest there. So by all means, please enlighten us as to what needs farmers have that were dismissed, because from what I've seen living amongst these people, their needs are very similar to everybody else's needs—they just routinely vote against their own interests.

Why do they do that? Obviously it can't be for economic reasons, because Republicans are, and have been, far worse for the economy—particularly the lower and middle classes. That's not even debatable, though if you're feeling up to it I would absolutely love to debate you on that—I'll even start a new thread about it if you want.

So what other reasons could it be? Guns? Trannies? Religion? Eggs? Gas? List them, and let's talk about it.

Beyond that, the "land doesn't vote" concept isn't a dismissal of farmer's needs—it's a dismissal of the idea that just because the vast majority of counties in the country are conservative, doesn't mean that the vast majority of the country is conservative, which conservatives often like to trot out during election season. Which, ironically, is more them dismissing the needs of liberals—not the other way around.

Fact is, they could be raking in the dough and you would still have this adolescent hatred towards them.

I'm not sure what their level of wealth has to do with it? Are you under the impression that I hate them because they're poor*? In what way does that even make sense?

* You're misrepresenting my position. I don't hate farmers. I hate certain things about the majority of farmers in this country. That's an important distinction.
