Farmers are smart people. That being said, farmers knew Trump could screw them but thought they were safe because they purchased enough trump hats and if that wasn't enough the Republicans in Congress would be there to bail them out, now they are finding out. #FAFO www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
WA almost made sense to me. How that plays in the Heartland/South is harder for me to see. I guess Reagan's God, Guns and Gays plays everywhere. Maybe add to that, like Jess Piper, MO, says, the small town prosperity slipping away...farm by farm. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
Fuck. I was a small farmer for ~20 years. CA City girl banker to WA rural pig/beef farmer. The county 65R/35D, since it flipped from Dems&Union (Weyerhauser) in the 70-80's. When spotted owl-environmentalists cost them their logging jobs; now angry resentful Repubs. Que Reagan: God, Guns and Gays.
I hope they learned a lesson from this. If not, fuck them.
