Machia voted for Trump, drawn by promises of border control and national security. “We didn’t want drugs or gangbangers,” he said. But what he didn’t expect was losing some of his most dedicated employees to immigration arrests.

“It’s scaring the farming community,” Machia admitted. “We didn’t think they’d come for the people who help us milk cows.”

LOL. Idiots

Don't worry, Dustin Machia, fifth-generation dairy farmer from Sheldon.

Sell your farm to Farmco Inc: their robots will milk your cows.

Buy an overpriced house in the city to live, maybe one with lots of drugs and gang-bangers.

Make sure you support Trump's election bid in 2028, and/or vote for Donald Trump, Jr, lest a satanic Democrat moderate who defeated AOC by just a hair wins.

If you get age related health problems, look to RFK, Jr.

Remember the days when Americans and Canadians could cross the Vermont-Quebec border with relative ease? Those days are gone, and much of Canada, and perhaps a third of America, now hate people like you.

hahahahaha

what a bunch of fucking idiots. I'd laugh harder if the actual threat to my life wasn't real.

At some point Maga will realize the grift and there will be some sort of a reckoning. And I’ll be watching and laughing. Mind you, it will probably be a right wing uprising but still I will laugh at that stupid fucking country’s implosion.

Or, you know, they could offer good wages and benefits to attract legal workers and charge enough for the milk to cover their costs. I'm lactose intolerant anyway, I don't care if milk and cheese become a little more expensive. But I know, my idea is crazy.

What's interesting in watching all this unfold is the revelation to us all just how unsustainable a lot of this is.

I'm doing ok, saved a bunch ahead of this dumpster fire bc I was afraid it'd happen. But it's weird watching people suffer at their own self-inflicted consequences.

I want to help, but... 🤷

This is the kind of thing that made me realise how much a urban being I am.
The way, I'm imagining a farmer, at least the one with milk farm is a guy waking before the sun because he must milk the cows at 4 a.m.

It's strange. I live in rural VT and whenever i bike around you see Trump signs on a lot of farm fields. But then you read the newspaper and you read about ICE detaining legal employees at farms and the farmers being upset about it.

I genuinely don't understand.

Propaganda works.

Complete and dangerous lack of education and critical thought in any capacity

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 hours ago

Lies about brown people are their favorite, they can't resist. They'll believe anything you tell them as long as it's bad.

Someone was bound to figure that out and start doing it (40 years ago)

I come from a deep red state but all the farmers out there are Democrats, as are most degree holding individuals in general. It's the people who work retail, the police, the oilfield, and the miners who all vote red.

Sounds like he just incriminated himself from his own illegal business practices, lock him up!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

And the drugs is still happening anyway and those gangbangers were locals anyways so yeah, congratulations 🎉

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Didn't Trump let in family members of some Mexican drug cartels?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

They good. They got the gold card.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 hours ago

Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump...

Then he gets what he gets. I don't feel a damn bit sorry for someone that stupid.

There is no we about it, the majority of farmers are Democrats.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I didn't know that. Thought all rural farmers were republican

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

I tried to find some data to back my claim up, but it's been pretty difficult. Conflicting sources on both sides.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Then are you sure you should be claiming and repeating it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Yes because I believe it to be true.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

good on you for calling yourself out.

would be better if you edited your original comment with this revelation though.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Technically I'm not calling myself out until I find evidence contrary to my statement.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

oh, so you're just trolling. cool.

my block list was hungry anyway.

"I hate black people unless they work on my plantation" - GOP voters

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 hours ago

It's hilarious because it's the same shit as Brexit. At its core it's racist policies that amount to "we don't like brown people". Sometimes you need to watch the house burn for people to learn.
