Gosh, I wonder who might have done this to them.
As someone from rural Arkansas who in my early life was around these farmers and their families quite a bit until I was in my mid twenties. I can tell you they are some of the most obstinate people you can meet. They regularly got welfare in the form of subsidies and then talked trash about anyone needing welfare or food stamps. Some of those people were their workers.
I’ve watched them buy new vehicles and trash them in just a few years when they could have taken care in the fields with them. Instead they would twist them like pretzels pulling and pushing on farm equipment instead of thinking things through. They didn’t care because they would be getting some graft from the government to pay for a new one.
So no they don’t need help. Unless it mental health. They will never vote in their best interests. They will continue to believe they are better than everyone around them. They will of course whine like toddlers when they don’t get their way.
they can’t handle the winning. I think they need to keep winning
from the video: “it’s hard not to be moved by the cries of those who put food on your table”
do not forget that most of them are huge mega-corporations that own vast areas of land and don’t operate based on small-families, but rather economies of scale
and also do not forget that most of these farmers probably voted republican and also that they would decry the exact support measures they’re now asking for as “communism” if these support dollars would benefit somebody else.
The vast bulk of crops grown in Arkansas are comprised of the top three: rice, soybeans, and corn. The rice and soybeans are mostly grown for export. The corn is heavily subsidized and most of it is turned into food additives like HFCS, corn starch, ethanol, etc.
These people aren’t putting food on our tables, they’re lining their pockets at our expense.

FFS, I’m so tired of hearing this kind of thing, as if people are doing this for some kind of altruistic reasons.
those who put food on your table
They can fuck right off.
They’re doing a job and running a business just like everyone else. I don’t care if I eat their product or not. It’s a commodity.
They’ve spent years voting and acting against their own interests. Maybe they shouldn’t have been so fucking stupid.
Farmers are such cry babies and think they’re special. They aren’t. The only thing farmers have done in the US is let mega corps beat them into a ditch. If they can’t do the job, someone else will.
Amen to this. I am so tired of the sanctimony from those that happen to live in rural areas.
“Well, we grow your food”.
What, you are doing it for charity or something?
The federal government put you there. Kinda doubt theyre gonna reverse course
All this winning is getting exhausting
“In the last 14 months, five of my customers have committed suicide. That’s how serious this is,” said another Arkansas farmer who also works as an ag equipment financier.
Fuck, that’s rough. Guess we’re gonna get dragged even more into corporate farms
… And Trump will look down, and whisper:
No.
There’s an actual prayer at the end of that article.
Edit: nm, it was quoting a prayer from one of the farmers at the meeting
I bet nearly all of them will continue voting Republican (or just stop voting altogether).
What, are they going to vote for the people with Blah candidates or allow the purple-haired trans people to use public toilets?! Are you kidding me? What choice do they even have?
They’ll shove a fork in their eye while chanting “Let’s go Brandon”.
They’re fucking idiots.
I feel for the odd person who isn’t a maga muppet in that group. The rest just need to learn how to use that dildo they asked for in the election. Slide that bad boy right in you dumb sonsabitches.
I hope they get it, except not any corporate farms.
Liberals telling them to fuck themselves are why they won’t vote for your party.
Maybe they shouldn’t have voted for the people who only ran on telling liberals to fuck themselves. Golden rule.
No, they voted for Republicans because the Republicans said they would fuck over Liberals. The farmers cheered that on. So now, when they themselves get fucked over instead, they can reap what they sow. The farmers would never vote Democrat, regardless. Fuck em. They don’t get to spit in people’s faces and then demand sympathy and respect when they show none for others.
Democrat is also a vote for the system that’s fucking us all.
How can anyone expect them to uphold democracy when genocide was on the table for them, just like it was for the GOP?
It’s time to move left and cut this shit off.
So hate is the way to go. Burn the whole country down to own the libs. You guys are pathetic.
Fuck right off, magat.
“Struggling Arkansas farmers” or MAGA bootlickers that fucked up and voted for a shifty, no-good, greasy, New York sidewinder because of some-dick complex? #fuckaroundandfinout #youdonefoundoit #gofuckyourself
They watered their crops with librul tears and are now complaining that someone salted the earth. May they learn to actually think about what their vote will accomplish.
Fuck no you get nothing!
