If you utterly dismiss farmers as incorrigibly stupid rather than trying to talk with them, they will never change. If you leave agricultural workers to the wolves while the fascists pretend to have their backs, will they support you or the fascists?
Did you know most of the majority-black counties in the USA are rural areas in the South that vote overwhelmingly for Democrats? Are they also ejeets that deserve to get their cows screwed?
What about the people who get screwworms in their injuries? That’s gonna be the poor bastards who get employed to work with the livestock. Who works in shitty underpaid farm labour? Poor whites, black people, immigrants. People who have few other choices.
Snobbery against rural areas is just classism. It’s how Republicans could get such a grip on them in the first place. Go ahead and only struggle amongst educated people in the cities and scratch your head when when your country stays fascist. Watch the rural-urban divide get wider.
I have spent quite a bit of time trying to convince Irish farmers to be left-wing, to understand that imperialism is the reason their gas prices are high and not the carbon tax. One of the biggest obstacles is that to them the urban left and liberals dismiss them as lost causes. Of course they don’t vote for snobs who don’t know wtf the CAP is and think that everyone outside of Dublin is an idiot redneck. Of course they listen to the silver-tongued devils of the right.
They were consistently surprised I care at all. Is that not shameful?
They’re entitled welfare queens (that absolutely refuse to acknowledge their welfare because they’re entitled) that vote consistently against everyone’s best interest so they can keep growing garbage corn that we turn into garbage fuel that destroys engines. Fuck farmers. Monoculture bullshit fucking the soil.
Are the folks employed by the owners, the ones who are personally at risk of getting screwworms in their wounds and at risk of losing their jobs so bosses can keep up profits, entitled welfare queens? They’re poor workers like you.
And what of the black farmers in Tennessee? They overwhelmingly vote for the Democrats. Do they also deserve parasites in their cattle?
Did Hispanic farmhands vote for Republicans? They’re the ones that are gonna be directly at risk of getting screwworms in their injuries. If the bosses scale down operations, they’re gonna be the ones who lose their jobs.
Do the 12% of farmers in Tennessee who are black also deserve to get fucked?
You do not defeat right-wing populists with snobbery. You defeat it by offering a compelling left-wing alternative that addresses the economic issues which bigotry is peddled as an alleged solution to.
Thank you. Sometimes I think I’m taking fucking crazy pills on this site with these users not seeing anything wrong at all with their smug, holier than thou attitude. People who like the idea of being for the people, but hate the population.
Literally has nothing to do with Trump or Trump voters.
While the USDA has long been prepared and will just repeat their actions of last time—which the article implies they’re already ready to do as it escalates—it’s more a concern of what happened to Central/South America, or the fly’s reproductive behaviours that has caused the safe zone to slowly get overrun these past few years.
If you really want to point this to Trump, I guess you’ll need to find some sort of link to something the US did that somehow caused Panama and then Mexico to get re-invaded, about 6-12 months before he was in office.
Edit: Imagine he catches wind of it though and decides to fuck it all by putting RFK Jr. in charge at the last minute…
The moron cut a critical organization when a major threat was known to be migrating north.
The agency needed a massive influx of resources for an expanded effort to control it this year.
No the root cause is not his fault, but his dumbass decisions the the fucking morons who voted for him are absolutely at fault for the shitty response.
Hmmm… Guess what percentage of the owners who raise cattle voted for the orange moron?
98.5%, 99% or 99.5?
100%
Farm people always vote against their own interests - and it shows.
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

This is a really bad take on the situation dude.

They deserve what they voted for, farmers overwhelmingly vote for republicans.
