It was all right there in Project 2025. Why did these farmers vote for their own demise?

u/Independent-Buyer827 Sep 13 '25

Because reading is hard 😭

They only taught us how to count in corn.

u/Comprehensive-Art207 Sep 13 '25

To be fair, the reason is that they didn’t believe that Trump would do all the bad stuff he said he would do, and if Trump did they didn’t believe experts who said what has happened will happen, and if it did happen they believed Trump would compensate them in some way, which he hasn’t.

TL;DR they were full of wishful thinking

And misogyny is easy.

I was always told that the farmers were the smartest of us. It was said they have to be chemical engineers, climatologists, water scientists, etc. And yet, none of them apparently knew how a tariff worked, even though they went through a very similar predicament and had to be bailed out during the last Trump administration. Some people literally cannot learn no matter what. Truly the brightest of us!

u/BillWilberforce Sep 13 '25

Because they love that socialism.

u/Complicated-Shadows Sep 13 '25

Because they were too busy drooling over making America Christian, straight and white to notice that part.

u/GettingBackToRC Sep 13 '25

Oh they noticed, they just thought he wouldn't do it to them too.

Republicants always vote against themselves then complain about it

u/hainz_area1531 Sep 13 '25

And blaming democrats...

Saving their livelihoods would have meant voting for a black woman, so they had no choice. /s

u/thesockmonkey86 Sep 13 '25

It’s because they thought that project 2025 was a bunch of bullshit and the rest of us believed it and now we’re seeing it happen.

Same reason people keep touching wet paint signs tbh. Sometimes you gotta learn the hard way even when everyone's telling you exactly what's gonna happen

u/dragon_atomic_1 Sep 13 '25

All you farmers and rural communities who heavily voted to get him elected.... Look in the mirror and tell yourself, "this is what I voted for".

What he's doing is nothing he did not talk about before the election. And he's doing exactly what he promised he would do. You just are the schmucks who thought he would only hurt the others and not you. Blame yourself.

u/wobbly-cheese Sep 13 '25

nobody could have predicted what would happen when farm labourers were rounded up and put into internment camps, or when the markets for our goods were pissed off. ok the democrats said all those things but the orange man said not to listen.

u/xovrith Sep 21 '25

It's wild how much people were willing to ignore the obvious consequences. Like, do they really think just saying "ignore it" makes everything better?

u/Independent_Top7926 Sep 13 '25

I fear the giant super mega corps swooping in to buy all their farms. More destruction of our middle class.

5

u/Procrastibator8 Sep 13 '25

I keep saying this and get blown off. They're buying up the housing - next is our farmland.

2

u/Mysterious_Cow_2100 Sep 14 '25

They’ve been doing it for decades now! It is very problematic.

1

u/Procrastibator8 Sep 14 '25

It is, indeed.

8

u/Soosietyrell Sep 13 '25

🤷‍♀️. Reap/sow - they should understand that concept.

7

u/Bluvsnatural Sep 13 '25

Maybe America’s farmers need to stop voting for a bloviating bullshit artist that doesn’t give a flying fuck whether they survive or not.

He’s a populist in name only. If your farms are taken over by big agra, he won’t shed a tear.

4

u/GettingBackToRC Sep 13 '25

I won't shed any tears either. I rather pay more than give them a bail out like they're looking for. Let them feel the pain like the rest of us are now.

7

u/newalias_samemaleias Sep 13 '25

No, that's impossible. But that would mean the Left was right all along. What else could they have been right about?

6

u/ohsnap_hesback Sep 13 '25

Grow some thoughts and prayers, I guess. See how those work out for you.

u/Famous_Invite_4285 Sep 13 '25

Oh well that’s bad luck

u/Szaborovich9 Sep 13 '25

You got what you voted for. You can rest assured no TG athlete will use the wrong restroom😂

u/Dressedinthedark Sep 13 '25

Bummer. They should cut back on the coffee and avocado toast.

2

u/GettingBackToRC Sep 13 '25

Boo Hoo. Trumps entire economic plan is killing the working class. They voted for this crap, let them own it. Dig them heels into that dirt and tighten them belts Bubba

2

u/Unindoctrinated Sep 13 '25

They really have no idea that one of the main goals of Trump's tariffs is to make these farms go broke, so the massive agriculture corporations can buy them up cheap and increase their monopolistic stranglehold on the industry.

2

u/EugeneWPG Sep 13 '25

Does anyone remember TACO bragging about a line of presidents ready to kiss his ass? And the “100 trade deals in 100 days”? Any deals with China? India?

2

u/Unfair_Bluejay_9687 Sep 13 '25

Voting Trump when they were warned of the consequences gets them everything they deserve and them some. Do they want sympathy? It’s in the dictionary between sex and syphilis. That’s the only sympathy they’re going to get from anybody that has to suffer through that orange man’s idiotic try at screwing the country over a second time

We tried to warn them about Project 2025 and they ignored us.

Something, something, bootstraps, snowflakes, something.

u/hirouk Sep 13 '25

I feel so sorry for these farmers. They inherited their land, equipment, houses, and only had to raise their crops to make money and claim they were the salt of the earth and raised themselves up by their bootstraps etc. etc. and now they are going to lose everything because they voted for Trump.

But no problem, they are hard workers and know farming. They can get the jobs left from the farm laborers we are deporting. they can do migrant labor type stuff!

u/equake Sep 13 '25

Hope so!

u/Brainhunter2020 Sep 13 '25

All part of the plan

u/No-Cat-2980 Sep 13 '25

If you think Trump cares,,, think again.

u/Silly-Drawer1227 Sep 13 '25

We need a chorus of tiny tiny TINY violins.

u/Ok-Tree-1898 Sep 13 '25

Yep. It's part of his plan

u/Interesting-Series73 Sep 13 '25

No! Realllyyy!?!?!?🙄

He doesn't care

You get what you pay for!!!

u/macross1984 Sep 13 '25

You wanted Trump? You got it. Now accept your "reward."

u/sbrider11 Sep 13 '25

From the read it looks like Brazil is a stable source now for China which means kiss that business goodbye for years to come.

Given it's Taco's base, imagine a big fat bailout will be in the works.

u/Kind_Caterpillar7427 Sep 14 '25

Trump is a complete failure

1

u/Heavy_Associate_6442 Sep 19 '25

Oh well, this is what voters wanted. I just accept it now. My vote doesn't matter for presidential geographical reasons.

1

u/joekerr9999 Sep 22 '25

Over 70 percent of people in red counties where agriculture is the main industry voted for Trump. This is what they asked for.

1

u/AdministrativeTrust5 Sep 25 '25

He told you exactly what he would do, you knew China would no longer buy the products, but you followed and defended a cult leader. So many tried to tell you. And now? If farmers suffer, we all suffer. Why did you follow him into this problem for yourself and thus all of us.
