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.

"We didn't have a better option" Yes little buddy, you could have voted for that black woman, but you didn't want to vote for a woman, much less a black one, so keep getting fisted by Trump, since it's your only option.

He could as well have stayed home rather than casting a vote for someone he knows nothing about. Like my friend who voted the wrong way because "the government has never done a fucking thing for me", he could have just taken his chances on what those literate liberals think instead of voting for someone so obviously fucking crass as trump.

I hate this quote, no better option: then stay the fuck home - you don't get to vote on toppings if you have no intention of eating the pizza, motherfucker.

Didn’t have a better option? Trump flags everywhere, Trump trains, Trump shirts and bumper stickers, etc. you guys were all in. I have never seen so much love for a candidate ever.Just admit it, you got swindled by a con man from New York City.

Unfortunately Americans need to eat. So the worse off these idiots are the more the rest of us suffer.

You don’t want the state controlling your food supply either. That has never ended well

It won’t be the state it will be corps. This land will still be harvested just not by this guy. I couldn’t give less of a shit frankly.

He only has his land because one of his ancestors stole it from Indians and it’s been passed down. The fuck do I care if he has to get a real job?

Way to miss the fucking point. Your food supply is already controlled by giant agri-corp's. They benefit from small farmers going under.
