Trump-loving Arkansas farmers plead for government assistance to save them from the Trump policies they voted for

Working as designed. Rot poor hicks.

They can go eat Sarah Huckabee's pussy.

[quote] “Mr. Trump, you looked at me and said, ‘I love you,’” Woodruff County farmer Chris King said. “Mr. Trump, I need to see the fruit of your love.”

So this genius voted for the gazillionaire fraudster and sex offender with the golden toilet and thought he was going to be on his side? Honestly, Republicans are hilarious!

People like Mr King are stupider than pig dribble and deserve to be left to rot.

It's like all that racism they voted for just isn't enough anymore 🤷‍♂️

Excuse me?

Am I supposed to feel sorry for them?

R3, they knew specifically what would happen. In his first term Trump paid out a lot of assistance/welfare to farmers whose businesses had been hurt by Trump’s own tariff policies. That wasn’t enough to rescue everyone the first time. In fact, the U.S. may have permanently lost a lot of agricultural business to other countries.

Dwayne and Doris Dumbfuck Deserve Disaster in D'Arkansas.

American farmers are some of the dumbest people on earth, always voting against their own interests and using their best poor mouth strategy to beg for handouts. All because they are so special -- unlike anyone else in the U.S-- and they deserve a broad array of subsidies and grants and tax breaks and special exemptions so they can be their homespun selves and vote fro Republicans will will ensure that their farms are sold out from under the precious family farmers for benefit of the much more precious multinational firms and their handful of billionaire leaders.

Waaaah aaaaah asaaaah

Oops! Didn't see there was already a thread. Guess I'm as dumb as the Arkansas farmers.

Oh well

Schadenfreude is a dish best served cold.

FAFO

Unbelievable. As someone who fought to stay employed and worked my ass off throughout the pandemic but never saw a dime of stimulus or assistance, they can just fuck off. Seriously.

[quote]American farmers are some of the dumbest people on earth, always voting against their own interests

Why are they not voting for the party that calls them some of the dumbest people on earth?? It's a mystery.

Did the party call them that or just some random on Datalounge?

Would they be able to grow thoughts and prayers?

They only voted for Trump because they believe he hates Black and Brown people as much as they do -- and he might -- but they mistakenly believed that he ONLY hates Black and Brown people. Trump hates EVERYONE. He hates poor people, he hates the disabled, he hates the infirmed, he hates the uneducated, he hates military 'losers,' he hates members of his own family but he REALLY hates rural red staters aka what he would consider "white trash." Trump wants to be an elite, he is not and will never be, but he has deep contempt and red-hot scorn for those beneath him. Yep, the very folks who exalt him and lift him up -- he HATES them.

I would offer these poor souls my thoughts and prayers but God abandoned MAGA when they abandoned Him in favor of the Orange AntiChrist.

get your government hands off my welfare

Trump does love you, he’s giving you Covid and polio and measles and rubella and more. Good times!

[quote] “In the short term, they have no choice but to mail us a check,” said Brown. “I don’t know a farmer that likes the check program. Nobody wants to take the taxpayer dollars, but nobody wants to go broke, nobody wants to lose everything. Long term, we have to have options, markets, and places to sell our product.”

Fuck ALL the way off, farmers of Arkansas and all the other rural redneck states. Not one FUCKING cent of solvent blue state taxpayer bailout money for you this time. You VOTED for this, you casually disparage your fellow Americans of California and other blue states that pay your destitute states' fucking bills, you can suffer ALL the consequences on this one.

You're not entitled to a fucking thing except the ramifications of your votes.

Leopard ate my face!! This shit would be so funny if I wasn't being affected by drumpf

These dumb rednecks are asking welfare while everyone else is supposed to suffer

R19, trump doesn't hate all black and brown people. Just the poor ones.

But he certainly does hate all poor people

bootstrappers on the grift, demanding a handout.

FUCK YOU

[quote] So these genius farmers voted for the gazillionaire fraudster and sex offender with the golden toilet bowl and thought he was going to be on their side? Honestly, Republicans are hilarious!

well farmers, this is all your fault. You all voted for trump. You all deserve this

If I had the money, I'd put this on billboards all over the midwest

You can have your welfare money, if you give up your right to vote. You're too stupid to live and too stupid to vote.

What are the chances that Trump will bail out the farmers because they are suffering under the weight of the tariffs?

Well, he bailed them out in his first term:

[quote] Google AI: During his first term, President Trump authorized a series of trade mitigation payments to American farmers, totaling approximately $28 billion across three separate programs to offset the negative impact of tariffs and retaliatory actions from countries like China. These payments were made to farmers who suffered losses due to trade disputes and were distributed through programs administered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Forbes said this about the cost of relief to the farmers during Trump's first term:

[quote] The Trump administration gave more taxpayer dollars to farmers harmed by the administration’s trade policies than the federal government spends each year building ships for the Navy or maintaining America’s nuclear arsenal, according to a new report. A National Foundation for American Policy analysis concluded the spending on farmers was also higher than the annual budgets of several government agencies. “The amount of money raises questions about the strategy of imposing tariffs and permitting the use of taxpayer money to shield policymakers from the consequences of their actions,” according to the analysis.

If Trump did that during his first term, wonder what he'll do to for his farmer base in his second term. Guess.

Welfare queens.

Communists.

Ha ha!!!

Living in the South and the Midwest, I’ve learned long ago that these dumb fucks don’t mind socialism at all as long as they reap the benefits of it and not the “coloreds.”

I did a study in the 1990s and even back then states with Republican governors had a bigger increase in state employment than states with Democratic governors. And who has worked with police unions to make police officers a privileged upper middle class elite? Republicans, that's who. As gay people, we were never fooled by their phoney anti-government rhetoric as they have always attempted to control our intimate lives to the smallest detail. And of course making a profitable caste of the military contractors has been the biggest scam pulled off by government in the last fifty years. But that's just it: Republicans have NEVER been who they say they are. It is a party of looters in both the Ayn Randian and regular sense.

Ayn Rand, another phony welfare queen from RUSSHER

Yes, and they would vote for him again tomorrow if they had the chance. People never learn.

"Welcome to Costco, I love you"

They should pull themselves up by their bootstraps

Just wait until that next rampaging tornado.

COMMIE SOCIALISTS wanting government handouts!

Farmers and ranchers get the biggest subsidies (welfare) of any group. These guys must be dummies.

The greediest Welfare grabbers in America are farmers!

People on SNAP barely get a couple hundred a month to not starve, but these farmers get TENS AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS on top of the massive yearly Farm Bill which doles out billions in the worst kind of Socialist "price supports" among many other freebies like no-interest loans and grants to buy anything they want! We are literally paying farmers our own taxpayer money to keep prices we pay higher!

Now they are demanding more! Maybe it's time to ditch the "heartland" and quit cosplaying as a successful farmer and go get real jobs! You're robbing us blind!

"You looked at me, and said 'I love you.'"

Delusional narcissism must be contagious in MAGAworld.

No, they said it “Ah luv yeeeewwwww”

They should have handed out mirrors to those MAGA-Morons at that meeting, so they could be reminded who did this to them. And now they’re begging for help?! Go fuck yourselves, ,MAGAts!

Imagine that; Trump not fulfilling a campaign promise.

Sucks to be stupid.

Is it wrong to cum from reading this?

Reporter: who will you vote for next time?

MAGA farmer: Trump! He cares about us!

They got what they voted for. Fuck thrm.

[quote]these dumb fucks don’t mind socialism at all as long as they reap the benefits of it

So they're sort of "national socialists"

WE got what THEY voted for. FUCK THEM.

Socialism!!

When Trump said he was going to enact major tariffs and kick out all the undocumented, what did these farmer think he would do?

R54 Maybe they expected their trade mitigation checks to be mailed out by now.

Thanks R29 for your informative comment.

Here’s where reality bites:

Many of these farmers aren’t dumb nor stupid.

Growing produce, meeting USDA requirements, selling it en mass via contracts, packaging it, and finally distributing it, requires sound business sense.

The conundrum we’re facing with a certain sector of MAGA is that while they’re not clinically stupid, with low IQ, they’ve still managed to vote in a manner that results in risking their entire business, career & income.

Why is that?

Because they’re hooked on right wing media sources, & live fairly isolated, without any outside input on social issues.

As long as people stay stuck on FOX? This will not change.

Either the dems find a perfect candidate who can create a movement that sticks, or we fall deeper into economic despair & fascism.

Boot straps, thoughts, and prayers.

[Quote] Why is that? Because they’re hooked on right wing media sources, & live fairly isolated, without any outside input on social issues.

White Supremacy has a powerful hold on many Americans. They are seeing minorities becoming successful, particularly our Black President . That’s too much for them

Still sounds pretty stupid to me. If you constantly listen to FOX and other right-wing media, and you put all your trust in Trump, only to discover that the president and the policies you've been told to trust are leading to your financial ruin, the smart response would be, "I guess I should check out some other news sources and at least consider what the Democrats or independent candidates have to offer." No matter how isolated you are, it's not too hard to change the TV channel or visit a different website once in a while. To double down and continue clinging to the politicians and media who are destroying your livelihood seems stupid.

They want checks! Isn't that socialism?

They'd still vote for him. They'd rather show the libs than keep their farms.

I bet the Chinese could buy these money-losing farms for pennies on the dollar and turn hefty profits with zero government welfare!

Trump should consider sending the states' National Guards into the farm states to pick vegetables!

Where are all their MAGA hats? Did they fall in the harvester?

I don't like socialism! But I need a CHECK from the government!

Fucking clowns.

Sorry there's no extra money left this time. I had to make sure my billionaire friends had continuos generous tax cuts so they could put champagne and caviar on their tables.

R59, this isn’t stupidity of the ordinary kind. As many people have pointed out, fascism is a religion in which the state and its leader become objects of worship. It offers its followers the chance to participate in a heroic narrative about restoring “national greatness.” They may have to suffer, they may have to suffer a lot, but it makes them a part of something they believe is important.

From the outside, the insanity looks obvious, but clearly Trumpism fulfills an emotional need in people who, in any other context, would appear to be normal.

Farmers in places like Arkansas mainline handouts from the rest of us like RFK, Jr. ingest(ed) heroin.

Unfortunately, all Americans will have to suffer for the racism, bigotry, and ignorance of those who voted for him and those who didn't vote at all. We should all suffer. Its not fair, but its the only way. This country may need to hit rock bottom before people pull their heads out their asses.

[quote]This country may need to hit rock bottom before people pull their heads out their asses.

May need to? This country is in a death spiral right now.

WAHHHHHH tough fucking luck...deal with it!

[quote] Many of these farmers aren’t dumb nor stupid.

You are overestimating most of them. Especially considering the extensive federal and state investment in farming, and the nearly century-old government subsidized infrastructure that is in place to enable them to sell what they produce.

America has ALWAYS suffered for its racism, bigotry and ignorance. It is hard to fathom how great this country could be if it had found a way to atone for its original sin and not turned backward In the late 19th Century.

Farmers are both dumb and stupid and what's more proud of it.

MAGA: I don’t blame Trump, it’s the people behind him….

REALITY: They all hate you.

R58, you think farmers who start working at 3-4 am until 3-4 pm, who then go back in their home, shower, eat dinner, then turn on their televisions or PCs in order to catch information on a right wing media outlet, are actually consuming media that shows them that minorities are successful, & “catching up” with white folks?

LMAO!

I’m sorry, but you do not understand how this all works.

Why do you think these people vote the way they do?

FEAR.

NOT fear spurred by the success of others, but fear that a group of black or Hispanic gangbangers will jack them or possibly kill them for their F-150 when they park it at a Walmart parking lot.

r75, you seem to be convinced there isa lot of "thinking" going on...there isn't!

And if ANYONE is getting up at 3-4am, it's the cheap immigrant labor!

It really is weird seeing them without their MAGA hats, huh?

Fuck 'em!

So sad to see so many Poor MAGA farmers think that Trump owes them anything.

What these traitors to the Cult of the Cunt owe Trump is a quick death. Sell the farm at a loss and kill yourself.

Stop being a drag on Rich MAGA. What did you think Made America Great Again, anyway? Making the rich RICHER.

If they need money they can get on Farmers Only and sling some dick!

They canall sign up to be ICE agents and terrorize the people who used to work their farms for them. Won't that be fun?

Shouldn't they all be arrested for hiring illegal labor?

I mean, that is a crime!

I don't agree. Obama SHATTERED the white American psyche. It is impossible to live anywhere in America without some awareness of Black people's march toward prosperity. The KKK was a reaction to post-slavery Reconstruction. White people are fearful of Black violence just as Black people are fearful of violence. However, white people are MORE fearful of Black leadership, Black prosperity and Black political influence. DEI did not become a racist buzzword because a white farmer is afraid of being carjacked on a trip to the city.

What a nonsensee R82. Every word of that is a lie. And puttingg a madman in charge of thousands of nuclear weapons can not be justified because widdle whitey is wwowwied about his social status. That subhuman and every single person who voted or gave money to Trump deserves to lose any freedoms they have.

Damn farmers are ugly.

[quote] Why are they not voting for the party that calls them some of the dumbest people on earth?? It's a mystery.

The democratic party actually called farmers dumb? When did this happen? Who said it? Why wasn’t this more widely reported? You’re sitting on something huge !!!! Tell us more!!!!

Those dumb fucks deserve to lose everything, end up homeless and then end up incarcerated for being homeless since MAGA hates the homeless

R82 is the ghost of Raymond Burrs asshole during a hemorrhoid flare up.
