We voted for their farms because we know Democratic policies are better for farmers. Unfortunately, farmers didn’t vote for their farms. And they’ll keep voting Republican.

I don't get it either. My uncle is wearing his MAGA cap today despite plowing under his soy fields last week & giving his accountant red ink. He disowned his D kids and won't FB friend me because he can't tolerate my maybe 1x/mo "liberal" post. Farmers' ears are plugged to anyone but other farmers.

I don't know how it is now but in the mid 1980s I inherited 1/8th of a family soybean farm. We lost something like $28,000 that year due to the soaring dollar killing exports. All we had to do was fill out a form and the government sent us a $28,000 check. Nice!

I’m actually not going to be buying beef as long as we’re getting it from another country!! Even though some of them voted for Trump, I believe in supporting our farmers and our communities that from our country!!

Not everything can be a conspiracy but this looks suspect. When you’re putting cash in oligarchs pockets at the same time you’re driving the dollar down and putting real estate heavy family industries to collapse, is this the plan? If you see oligarchs picking up the pieces you’ll have your answer.

farmlandgrab.orgJD Vance funded AcreTrader. Here’s why that matters.The real estate platform streamlines investing in US farmland. Now farms are fast becoming a portfolio staple for investors worldwide.

I saw video on here and I can’t find it now to give credit. But a Dem in a county with a lot of farmers said at a certain point we have to give the farmers the dignity of their choices. They knew there was a good chance of tariffs but voted for him anyway b/c of tax breaks, employment deregulation.

How’s that Farmers For Trump going noW? Unless you farmers are willing to correct your poor decision-making, by voting for any breathing Dem vs GOP, then STOP WHINING…and PULL YOURSELVES UP BY THE BOOTSTRAPS! DEAL WITH IT!

I'm convinced that's the plan... not that Demented PeDonald masterminded, but I see his crony dictators offering him personal "deals" in exchange for selling, literally, America. I think they & billionaires in Big Ag are driving this -- and winning. It affects ALL of us. We cannot abandon farmers.

Can't recommend this enough. Folks keep invoking the phrase "voted against their own interests" - perplexed how this could happen. They're not voting against their own interests... or so they thought. She has also done videos talking about the expectation of bailouts.

No farmer should vote for ANY republikan! They FOUGHT crop subsidies, payments for rotating crops, and leaving the land to rest. Republikans fought EVERY INTELLIGENT MEASURE of the 20th Century, as if the money was coming out of their own pockets. Then, they lined up to get every penny they could!

Yes…the mistake liberals always make is thinking these betrayals by the GOP will turn farmers against them. That will not be happening. On Election Day, farmers will still turn out in droves for the party that brings them continual pain and suffering.

Oh, they are realizing it now. The problem is they refuse to acknowledge that Trump and the Republican party are doing this to them. I keep letting them know about JDs AcreTrader whenever I get a chance. They were literal sheep voting for the wolves.

Hopefully this generation turning 18 is ready for change. Ready for a Kamala. Or a Pete Buttigieg. Hopefully 'being a white guy' isn't going to be the main requirement for being President going forward!!

Very sad but self inflicted. The farmers would be farming now if we had President Harris in charge. Instead, their soybeans in silos rotting. Masochism.

It’s the individualism vs collectivism paradigm conflict that at the heart of many of America’s problems. I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again: decades ago, the linguist George Lakoff told Democrats they needed to heed the metaphorical framing differences between R’s & D’s - to no avail 🤷‍♂️

He's in Asia trying to get Xi to buy significant sums of American soy, but par for his demented course, farmers in the part of the US that grows the most soy already have plowed the crops under. It's too late. But, if so, you betcha Faux et al propaganda will let MAGA hear only how he won for them.
