so MAGA farmers chased off immigrant farmworkers because Trump said they were taking American jobs, now they can’t find anyone to pick their crops. Funny how the pick-yourselves-up-by-the-bootstraps crowd suddenly needs someone else to do the work

I think they’re trying to starve us to the point that Americans are willing to do it (pick the crops for $3/hr). They’ll frame it as some “America first” win while the entire country’s QOL decreases to breadlines. And the people voting for this are typically too old to even do it. So they’re counting on Gen Z and Gen Alpha. And when people complain that the American dream is gone they’ll say “nobody wants to work anymore”.
