It turns out you cannot eat pure political rhetoric when the trade war bill comes due.

Nothing screams rugged, independent free-market capitalism quite like begging the government for a multibillion-dollar bailout because your own preferred trade policies vaporized your customer base.

You voted to burn down the global grain market and are now stunned to discover you actually have to live inside the ashes. 
Broad tariff regimes inevitably trigger direct retaliatory duties on domestic agricultural exports, converting thriving family operations into federally dependent welfare cases overnight. Handing out billions in taxpayer-funded stopgap relief does not recover structural export market share; it simply forces the public to subsidize avoidable self-inflicted losses while multi-generational farms fold under the debt.

They will still vote for trump and support him but if a democrat was in power you wouldn’t hear the end of it.

Doesn’t matter who is in power it’s still the democrats fault to them. The Democrats could have never been in power once and it would still be their fault.

This is why I do not have any sympathy for these farmers. Trump did the same his first term and they pleaded to be bailed out then also. Still they voted for a many who openly despises America!

A Democrat would actually care about the well being of Americans and farmers

Trump is just looking out for himself and the billionaires who pay him

right, as soon as the blue wave hits in november, the inevitable and disastrous consequences of MAGA economic policy will somehow be the "woke lib Dems" fault, despite the MAGA trash having controlled all three branches of government for years now.

Put a red tie on a pile of shit and they'd still vote for it.

Hard to fauxment fear and terror over a democrat ruining everything when you've already ruined everything. If the dems dont take over in November, this little hellish ride will continue until we are all up shit creek and the billionaires lock themselves in their underground bunkers while Ai robot/drone army does "crisis management"
