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 88 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

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 47 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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

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 2 months 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 2 months 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 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

In other words, they're morons.

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™

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.

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.

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

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 months ago

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

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Conservatism is a particularly selfish meme.

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

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

Is this a real person? Or is this "Nebraska broke 60/40 for Trump in 2020 and 60/40 for Trump in 2024, nothing has changed".

Year | GOP | Dem

2020 | 556,846 | 374,583

2024 | 564,816 | 369,995

I am willing to gamble on the difference being entirely old people dying / new people registering to vote.

Nevermind the fact that the state is being gobbled up by investment funds. So the lonely Berkshire Hathaway Investor out in Omaha who actually did vote for Biden in 2020 and Trump in 2024 is getting exactly what they asked for - bailouts when the stock market is in crisis and easy money for investors when farmland is most profitable.

Y'all are inventing a guy who doesn't exist so you can feel smug at them and ignoring the bulk of the state, whose politics you have neither the inclination or the education to grasp.

Listen, Liberal! and you might find out What's the Matter With ~~Kansas~~ Nebraska

[–] gloog@fedia.io 23 points 2 months ago

It doesn't say or suggest that the person voted for Biden in 2020.
