Yeah but they're fucking idiots and here we are. Then crying about Project 2025 that they didn't read which said they were going to bankrupt farmers so JD Vance and China could buy all the farmland. Do I feel bad because they are losing theirs or should I feel bad that they voted for fascism instead of America?

I had a conversation with a fellow farmer and neighbor who happens to be a MAGA supporter. He’s a much older gentleman, well known and respected in our community. I myself, don’t vote.
My neighbor proudly says he’d vote for Trump again. He and his family thinks Jesus is returning in 3-4 years to vindicate those he calls righteous(the list of who’s considered righteous would shock most folks). To them this is just apart of something he called the tribulation prior to the second coming. He said Trump is some sort of important spiritual figure.
I didn’t really understand his explanation and I don’t want to judge it bizarre. People are entitled to their beliefs. Even if they seem peculiar, to say the least.
He’s a really good guy with some wild views. He has a bunker on his farm that he says is stocked with supplies. He’s been preparing for the collapse since the “Y2K scare.” His words.

IMO, non-voters and your MAGA supporter farmer are EQUALLY to blame for the mess we are in. Of all the times to not vote, 2020 was NOT one of them and it should have been obvious.
1/3 of registered voters couldn't be bothered to vote against fascism and now here we are.

u/Celtic_Legend 1d ago
I guess you mean 2024? Anyway, youre assuming the 1/3 registered voters were going to vote only blue. They wouldnt.
Youre also assuming their vote would matter, they largely wouldnt. The swing states get higher voter turnout. Pennsylvania got 77.1% voter turnout. But again, if they got 100%, the same result happens anyway.

u/bananas_007 1d ago
Couldn't be bothered..? A lot of us are broke and can't miss work, plus they keep closing polling places. Last election they said the wait was estimated to be 2-4 hours and my job gave us one hour off to vote, so for a lot of lower class people that means risking your job and health care. People aren't going to live on the street with their kids. "Couldn't be bothered" lmao. Ignorant, pathetic object.

u/skizzlebutch 1d ago
"I myself, don't vote" was the context given, and "couldn't be bothered to vote" is an approriate assumption to make here.
It seems the person you discussed originally voting peculiarly must be way better off than you if they get the privilege of voting (a luxury you cannot afford according to you)
I hope your circumstances improve so that you can take part in the system that exists as we figure out a way to make a better one.
I'm mostly here noting the fact that Billy Billionaire created these factors and thought it best to reestablish the facts of who is the actual ignorant and pathetic fucking problem round here. Aim the ire higher.
1
u/bananas_007 1d ago
I see that, but the person said "1/3 of registered voters couldn't be bothered to vote" so their comment was pretty broad and includes a lot of people like me, as well as people like single parents and homeless people.
I know billionaires are the main problem, but a lesser problem are the people who think that an entire third of the population was like "eh, whatever lolz" when it should be really obvious that probably wasn't the case for many of us

u/skizzlebutch 1d ago
Hear hear. Back before organized crime was taken over by private equity there were organized voting drives as an extension of the local bosses and their political machines.
A whole system of drivers and incentives to make sure everyone voted. Sometimes twice sure but the system was being engaged in on almost all levels compared to now.
A true socialist democracy will use the systems of Pendergast and etc, reconfigured to streamline and engage all eligible voters who would benefit from an unbiased structure making it practically impossible NOT to vote.

Most wild at me is you literal at only need at change Trump party affiliation, and nothing else, and every single Republican ever hate at Trump more than any Democrat ever.
But he is Republican and bend over at backward so they find at bad faith argue at why they love at him.
Conservative or liberal, pretty much all hate at Trump before he run. And we know so much less at Trump before he run, and still all hate at him.
He run as Republican and now he is they god. Fuckin wild. All because he encourage and never scold at they hate or racism.
If is some no-name Republican fascist who do all this, okay. Makes sense, anyway. But random fuckin douchebag wannabe reality TV star who embody pretty much at all thing they hate? Fuckin wow.

I grew up in a smaller middle class town in Indiana, which was of course next to a bunch of farms because it was Indiana lol. The only rich people in town were the farmers, who all had huge perfectly clean pickup trucks and expensive boots or whatever. They'd constantly bitch about how hard life and their work was without a shred of irony when they were the only people with money in town and the ones doing the work were all Mexicans lol

Op thinks there are way more farmers in the USA than there actually are.
Miami voted red. How many of them do you think were farmers? It's not going to be 0.1%.
I'm 99% sure making every farmer vote blue accomplishes nothing. They arent that significant of a population. It would flip Wisconsin but its not flipping texas or florida so it doesn't accomplish anything asside from a chance for Kamala to win the popular vote.

u/yeungx 1d ago
Farmers were not fools that vote just because of racism, they are keen political actors that voted for the return of slavery.
Right now normal undocumented worker are freelancers. If they pay is too poor, conditions are too poor, they can just go get a job in the cities. Farmers don't want that. H2A work process ties a documented worker to the specific job, so they have no choice but to put up with whatever working conditions that is provided. They support ICE raid to found up all the free undocumented workers, so their own workers will have fewer other options for employment. When they say they want to keep the good migrants, they mean indentured servants they control.
Farmers are, and always have been keenly aware of their self interest. They only seems foolish because they are hiding their bigger plan. They still support Trump because Trump is pathway by which they can get slavery back. No amount rural investment Democrats was ever going to move the needle. Trump has already removed Biden era protection against human trafficking, reduced the minimum wage, and massively expanded the H2A visa process.
They are only bitching because they hoped the transition in to slavery could be smoother.
