You forgot the next step. After losing their farm to trumps policies they blame democrats for it. You literally can’t make this shit up.

[–] chuymatt@startrek.website 89 points 1 week ago (3 children)

But before the last step, yo boy DJ Vance’s investment group will buy up the ‘distressed’ farm land for profit.

[–] Leather@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

One of Peter Thiels folks will, JD hardly knows which end of the couch to stick it in.

It takes a good and self reflecting person to admit they were wrong. Somehow doubling down on being a complete fucking idiot is a merit to these people, perhaps destroying the education system has done its trick

You used almost slave labour in the form of migrants workers, and paid them in government money so you could continue to be a farmer and not have to sell up to some multinational agri-corp.

But then you voted for trump because other people said foreigners were taking your job, and because your a fucking gormless mouth breather.

[–] Lemmynated@lemmy.zip 46 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

If people had just kept their mouth quiet, stuck their nose up and voted blue, they could still to this day happily be exploiting poor foreigners in slave like conditions. Trump has ruined America!

The USA has always been a horrid country but to act like neoliberal Democrats are the same as the warmongering fascists that make up the Republican party is pretty fucking stupid.

The American population could have voted in Harris and then pushed for change but instead voted in a party that is repeatedly pushing for the invasion of Canada, Greenland/Denmark and Panama while also ACTIVELY bombing Venezuelan fishing boats in an attempt to instigate a perpetual war.

Fuck off with the whataboutism

But the Democrats want to tie government funding to responsible environmental practices like reducing nitrogen fertilizer runoff and manure leaks, and they might mandate slightly less inhumane conditions for animals in feed lots. The horror! /s

[–] finitebanjo@piefed.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The DNC also expanded pathways to citizenship as part of their bipartisan border security bill. I think there is a pretty stark distinction between slave labor and "almost slave labour", for example the private prison complex is salivating at turning the new Trump migrant detention facilities into actual slave labor.

A coworker was just complaining to me about "Biden's Bullshit" for the reason his utility bill is massive. He lives in Florida. I used to live in Florida and now Oregon. Oregon has regulations because it's not a shit hole state.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

do they have ai datacenters there, i wouldnt be surprised if the electric bill is higher too. Florida is going under water, plus so much invasive species there, because of illicit exotic pet/plant trade.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

About 20 years ago, I wrote a mobile app for a company that surveys power lines all over the rural South and cuts away trees and vegetation that threatens the lines. In most places, the landowners are compensated for any trees that have to be cut down, with a variable scale that pays more the rarer the tree is. This has created a cottage industry where landowners plant all sorts of exotic shit directly under the power lines as a guaranteed cash crop. It's certainly an under-appreciated source of invasive species.

Part of the reason why some farmers voted for trump (not the majority but some) was that american workers would consider farm jobs beneath them, and both americans and undocumented workers could always transfer to other jobs / farms if the conditions were unfavorable. Instead, they want to drive workers towards H2A visa to create modern slavery where workers have their pasports taken, are beaten and their families threatened by American companies

Trump rolled back protections for these workers earlier this year

Straight up most republicans/conservatives, especially the older set, as a rule do not change their minds or opinions about things nor do they take new or corrected information into account. Whatever the first knowledge they acquire on any subject is the truth and always will be the truth.

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

In other words, they're morons.

“People of the land” correct

I'm so glad I didn't see the word Bitch that would have ruined my day and made me less likely to buy Coca-Cola™

[–] Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

I just purchased less Coke™️ after reading this comment. Think of the shareholders next time, will you?

You know, the ones that work on said farm.

Heads up, you can say "bitch." The post and you are both on L.W, the no-no word filters are only on .ml.

My political beliefs are now called Bitch Democracy, which makes it unassailable to tankies.

Those family farmers are all millionaires. They want those tax cut plus the socialist policies that made them rich. They wanted to screw everyone over while they got richer.

But THE ILLEGALS!!!

I'm surrounded by MAGA Idiots and farmers and part of me can only laugh at them while the other part of me is sad Vance will win by scooping up their farms on acretraders.

I can no longer feel any sympathy, I just enjoy seeing them suffer and die. They would have thought the same for me.

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Natural selection babyyyy

And when they get hooked on opioids as a coping mechanism to escape their newly entrenched poverty, which leads to a vicious cycle of criminal record and repeated arrests?

Guess who'll have voting restrictions.

But pointing out that Republicans vote against their own interests is taboo for some reason.

Conservatism is a particularly selfish meme.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Voting again and again for the same people that are destroying your life isn't best described as "selfish".
