Most of them probably voted for this. What will they learn if they just keep getting bailouts?

u/thegroovemonkey 1d ago

Nobody told them what to farm. They should have just simply chosen a better product.

If we helped these farmers it might affect the “free market” and we just can’t have that.

They should transition into the manufacture of bootstraps. I hear they’re in demand these days.

The truckers for pedophiles rally, yeah we remember that stupidity.

u/HappyCatPrincess 18h ago

I wish they'd all see your comment. Republicans just keep voting against the best interests of all.

u/TheSilverFoxwins 18h ago

This sums it up.

u/HappyCatPrincess 18h ago

Mostly true but they also have a lot of corporations & rich people buying our government via high priced lobbyists. Neither could win elections without the other group.

Josh Shapiro should sign a law--for every dollar spent helping farmers, a dollar will be spent on SNAP benefits.

I used to advocate for farmers, “no farmers no food”. Now I’m gladly see them all go bankrupt and their family generational farm auction off to the highest bidder

u/HappyCatPrincess 18h ago

Agree. On the other hand, if the farms fail it will be a land grab for the greedy corporations that will push Monsanto poisoned food on us & use forever pesticides.

u/OnceIsawthisthing 18h ago

Same thing they learned in 2018. If they vote republican they don't have to work. They'll just get welfare, or a bailout or whatever you want to call it.

“Relief” meaning socialist welfare checks

I think the farmers in Pennsylvania need to go broke. That’s what we’re doing. We’re losing all kinds of shit. Fuck your farm. It’s interesting that farm owners are actually a community of co-ops. Holy shit!! That’s socialism. It’s super fucked up that your co-op can’t save you from the consequences of Donald J Trump. Not even your co-op can save your family. He wrecked your life. He didn’t even blink. He did it on purpose. It’s his big “fuck you.” Vote. Democrats can fix this. Just stop thinking about gay people. It’s not gay people. 0.1 percent of the population isn’t the problem. It’s the crooks who control everything. Republicans have control of everything. It’s worse. They want you to think that the problems exist because democrats are trying to destroy America. They’ve been driving the car the whole time. They’ve been in power the whole time. The whole narrative is about gay people. That’s all they have. Every commercial. Trump is the most corrupt president that ever served. And that’s where it ends. He’s a horrible human being. He’s a pathetic loser.

That's the kicker, I WANT these farms subsidized to hell and back. I want cheap food. I want them to have access to plenty of migrant labor to work these farms. It's a two fold win for the migrants and the farmers. I want these farmers to have access to free, high quality medicine and healthcare. I want my tax dollars going to help Americans, to feed Americans. To provide for Americans. I'm sick of my tax money going to Israel to kill whom ever they damn well please with it.

We really shouldn’t even use the word “serve” when it comes to Trump…he is not serving anyone but himself.

I honestly wonder if the plan is to have corporations come in to buy farms for Pennie’s on the dollar

u/Winter_Aspect_8675 1d ago

Man, can you please a farmer? Cry when you don't get what you voted for, cry when you get what you voted for. The only difference being they can't afford the diesel to parade around Washington like a pack of beer bellied bitchs.

u/CatCafffffe 1d ago

"Yeah, please go on attacking and kidnapping innocent people in the streets, taking away women's rights, get rid of any "diversity," trample on the LBGTQ community, openly support rapists and pedophiles, destroy our country's alliances and embarrass us all on the world stage we LOVE that, did we mention that we're all for all of that, it's great!! But meanwhile, some of this is affecting US. US!!!! That can't be right! We want to hurt EVERYONE ELSE, not.... US!!!!"

u/sharksareok 1d ago

Fucking socialists, right? Always living on someone else's money, right? If you can't stand on your own you should yield, right? Right?

u/Strict_Cranberry_724 23h ago

Something, something, “bootstraps” used to be said a lot.

u/PIE-314 23h ago

That sure sounds a lot like the socialism and welfare they vote against 🤷‍♂️

u/Familiar-Caregiver14 22h ago

Farmers who voted for Trump:
"We gots to gets these progressive socialists out of here. Send them back to Islamabad"
Same Farmers:
"Where's mys welfare subsidy checks...DeRp!"

u/willingzenith 18h ago

Hey farmers: fuck your feelings.

Am I doing it right?

u/okiecurious 18h ago

“Please sir, may we have some socialism” - MAGA farmers right now.

u/Njoylaughs 1d ago

If only someone told them

u/Exausted1332 1d ago

Nah, that’s socialism and we all know how they feel about that.

u/alternatingflan 23h ago

The felon krasnov and maga big money pals want the farms to fail.

u/Ohuigin 23h ago

I hear planting bootstraps are a safe bet. They don’t need much diesel to harvest.

u/Dannydoalot 22h ago

Dumbest people on earth…..american farmers

u/obiemo 21h ago

This is the time to challenge them to tie all their MAGA Congress men and women, senators to Trump by closely. Show the people how much the reps they voted for have their heads deep in Trump's a**.

u/DeliciousEconAviator 21h ago

They voted for the guy to run the government like a business, perhaps they should run their businesses like businesses and stop being welfare queens.

u/apgrey 20h ago

But that would be socialism

u/Fair_Chemistry_3317 19h ago

I guess socialism is OK for them now even though they voted for their own bankruptcy and against the socialists.

u/mjd3683 18h ago

Can we get a list?

u/BigD3nergy 16h ago

Maybe we can siphon some of the money we sent to Israel 🇮🇱 for some reason.
Or the money we sent to Argentina to help their farmers for some reason.
Or the money wasted on a stupid war
Or the ballroom
Or the arch
Or the reflecting pool
Or the tax breaks for billionaires

Oh wait, you voted for this, so you want a handout now?
Handouts are for “socialists” and “democrat libtards”

Bend over and pull yourself up by the bootstraps
And if you can’t pull yourself up, stay bent over for your vote to come back and fuck you right in the butthole.

u/ResolveConfident3522 13h ago

Or some of those juicy gains the president and his pals have gotten from the stock market

u/Lord_Dingus83 15h ago

Fuck PA - they voted for this bullshit

2

u/RatBatBlue82 13h ago

Socialism for me and not for thee Farmers. Stop paying those losers.

u/batrastardfromhell 3h ago

Forget the diesel farm machinery, they can use draft horses like the Amish.

u/Dry_Marsupial_4504 18h ago

You mean they want welfare? How socialist of them. Go bankrupt like the rest of the country

u/Tree_Trunks-00- 15h ago edited 15h ago

I support helping Pennsylvania, they smart enough to at least have a Dem governor. Josh Shapiro doing a great job 🇺🇸 👏🏼.

Also shout out to the Pennsylvania Turnpike organization, they saved my family when they ran out of fuel on the highway. Boy are they fast at delivering much needed help in a hot day.
