Promises are cheap.

Who would've thought that a rich NYC, real estate business, playboy wouldn't give a shit about Iowa farmers? Didn't see that coming did you?

Chad Hart, a crop market specialist at Iowa State University, said that 2021 and 2022, the first half of Biden’s term, were “some of the best years U.S. agriculture has seen in terms of net farm income.”

“He tells it the way it is,” said Rehder, who voted for Trump in all three presidential elections.

Ah yes, a foul mouthed liar. Maybe he needs to look at ACTIONS not words. Talk is cheap.

“We know Trump well enough to know that he sometimes says things off the top of his head and doesn’t think them through,” Arda Van Regenmorter said at her family’s farm in northwest Iowa. “That statement, to me, is one of those. He cares about us financially.”

Omg, she literally sounds like a romance scam victim. She'll be sending her savings to a guy in Nigeria.

“We’re waiting to see how God has this planned out for us,” Arda said. “We’re not giving up. I truly believe he’ll put someone in our life.”

Religious people are prone to fantasy thinking. They're also prone to being scammed.

However bleak the marketplace may seem, many of the farmers said they aren’t about to turn on Trump.

They'll march off of the cliff with Fox News playing the flute.

He invited hundreds of farmers and ranchers to the White House in March. Speaking from a balcony, with a gold tractor below him, he assured the gathering that they “once again have a true friend and champion in the Oval Office.”

"He's making life very hard for me and my family... but I support that!"

[-] andallthat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Now I don't have to make life hard for my family all by myself.

I stopped drinking so much and gambling because we have no money, but our lives are still s##t thanks to President Trump.

[-] SoloCritical@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

We’re pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps! Witness me, papi Trump!

When you're so unwilling to face cognitive dissonance that you're happy you shot yourself in the leg.

[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Like scam victims who double down on the scam rather than admitting they were scammed.

HA HA HA HA, these magats are just the dumbest creatures on earth. My dog figures out I that don't have a treat in my hand faster than these fuckwits.

Let this go down in the history books as to why you shouldn't worship a head of state as a God.

[-] Tiral@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

Oh yeah dude it's fucking nuts. I live in a populated area of Illinois on the Iowa border (about 400k pop in the area). But when you get about 5 miles out of the city in any direction farmland starts.

These farmers sit there taking government subsidizes while bitching about SNAP and welfare. It's the most ridiculous hypocritical shit ever. And they all vote Republican, zero shits who it is.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

I grew up in a very rural area and that explains most conversations I would have with people in that area.

"Welfare" was for the blahs and people considered The Other; but all the benefits these people got? Well, that was something else, because they were white.

[-] MilitantAtheist@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

What a fucking dumbass

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 62 points 20 hours ago

I love the dumb fucks who are like "Trump's policies may have completely fucked up our economy and we made more money during Biden's administration but he speaks plainly and doesn't sound like a politician so I still support him."

I sincerely hope these fuck heads lose everything.

[-] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 17 hours ago

Doesn’t sound like a politician, sure.

Speaks plainly? Buddy, if everyone around you speaks like him, you’re in a medical ward or something. The meandering insulting no point self contradictory mess that passes for him speaking is definitely not ‘speaking plainly’. People that still support him can rot. I only lament that these farmers will go under, get gobbled by big agriculture and that’s probably not great.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 18 points 20 hours ago

A lot of these farms are getting bought up and consolidated under an increasingly rarified group of oligarchs.

And a lot of the lay voters are in it for the culture war shit - hating migrants and bombing Iran and beating China (the industry's biggest buyer).

[-] mystik@lemmy.world 25 points 19 hours ago

China is very quietly executing the "Never interrupt your enemy when they are a making a mistake" strategy.

White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said: “Farmers suffered for years under Joe Biden, who increased the United States’ trade deficit to over $1.2 trillion, raised input costs, and pushed woke DEI agricultural policies." I love that official US policy has become fundamentally not understanding trade deficits and running as far as possible with that lack of understanding. Follow that up with the vague claim of raising costs when the baseless Attack on Iran raised costs by more in a month than four years of Biden. Then finish with the absolutely irrelevant to family farmers woke boogeyman. Are we great yet?

[-] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 hours ago

pushed woke DEI agricultural policies.

What the fuck is that even supposed to mean? How fucking lazy of these morons that they have to keep recycling this same boogeyman even in areas where it makes zero sense.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Farmers suffered for years under Joe Biden

Also - where are all these people that supposedly suffered so much under Biden (and Obama)?

Are they in the room with us right now?

I call bullshit on all their gaslighting horse manure. They keep stating these things as if they are facts and facts that everyone just accepts. They do the same thing with their claims of the "horrible economy" that poor little Pumpkinhead inherited. It's all just complete nonsense; the economy was definitely going in the right direction by the end of the Biden admin.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 16 points 16 hours ago

It takes a special form of stupid to be that dumb.

These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.gif

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

I'm not one to blame the victim...but when you repeatedly walk back into the pedophile's house, bend over, drop your panties, and loudly proclaim to the world, "Surely I shan't be raped this time!" I start to blame you.

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 13 points 18 hours ago

The reason you don't "blame the victim" in most situations is that victims generally do not bear causal or moral responsibility over their situation. These stupid fucks bear both.

[-] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Exactly, they are not victims. Blame away!

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

just like with the 1st term, they will still vote for him, because they think it will come through, or that dems will come save them in the end and they get to go back whining about liberals. this time is not likely to happen. without people like mitch, or other old guard GOP that ends taking credit, magat gop are less competent than that.

[-] ClownStatue@piefed.social 9 points 20 hours ago

Correction: for some reason they still think Dems running things would be worse! So after 8 years of Clinton & Obama, and 4-years of Biden and them not losing their farms during any of that, they still think Dems would be worse than them actually losing their farms after not quite 2-years of Trump 2.0! They will happily walk right to the poor house saying republicans are “better for the economy,” and keep saying it as any benefits they might get whilst in the poor house are stripped away by said republicans.

I don't want to see any more coverage of trump supporters. They are idiots. Humanizing them makes the problem worse. They follow their peer group. The only coverage should be about abandoning trump and conservatism.
