Nick Levendofsky, the executive director of the Kansas Farmers Union, has been lobbying to preserve the food programs, but when he speaks publicly he often gets responses from people saying farmers’ troubles are their own fault.
“Trump’s tariffs badly injured Kansas farmers in his first term, and your members were stupid enough to vote for him again in 2020 and 2024,” read one letter he received from a descendant of Kansas farmers living in Florida. “Every farm bankruptcy that comes — and come they will — will be a direct consequence of your members voting for the guy who already hurt them once.”
Kansas farmers totally boned. Government purchases for foreign aid gone, grants gone, foreign sales at zero.
From Food Aid to Dog Chow? How Trump’s Cuts Hurt Kansas Farmers
So let's vote for the pettiest dude in the country who is purely transactional and would sell out anyone or anything for his own personal gain.In the hallway of the Russell Senate Office Building, Tom Giessel, a retired farmer, sighed in disappointment. “These people really don’t know the story of Food for Peace and the roots of it,” he said.
“Farmers shipping grain to where people were hungry — that we did these kinds of things is really what made America great.”

These people somehow thought that "only" gang members or whatever were going to be deported, despite that distinction never being made in the campaign. I feel like that's what made him so successful: he was a template on which they could project their own beliefs (not unlike a lot of religious people and the bible).

Trump and GOP are like that. Say some stuff, mostly vauge, people fill in the blanks. Rinse repeat, shit even MAGA isnt defined.These people somehow thought that "only" gang members or whatever were going to be deported, despite that distinction never being made in the campaign.

Look it's the goddamn truth and we all know it. The maga have voted for evil over and over and over again and they earned this. They deserve this 1000%.. They have voted for evil to be done to others for nearly a decade now.Too far?
“May all visitors, children, non-Maga voters and pets be safe and dry,” said the post, which invoked an acronym for Trump’s “Make America great again” slogan. “Kerr county Maga voted to gut Fema. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for.”
The post concluded with the phrase: “Bless their hearts,” which in the US south is often used as a condescending insult.

If “may they get what they voted for” is considered insulting, the offended need to reconsider what they voted for.Too far?

The "fuck your feelings" crowd is intensely sensitive to anything that sounds like criticism or the implication that they are simply getting what they made an active choice to receive.
Yeah, but they keep electing Republican governor after Republican governor, and the same for their US senators. The legislative districts might be gerrymandered, and some of it could be voter suppression, but they still vote for giant shit stains statewide.Actually Homer, the people of Missouri voted 58% for this paid leave/sick leave last year.
It's the state legislature that repealed the Prop A measure. So its not the people, its the assholes that run that state.
"An independent poll of Missouri voters in April found 75 percent opposed efforts to repeal the measure, but pro-business groups lobbied heavily for its repeal, describing it as burdensome for employers."
Paying workers enough to buy your shit in the future is a "burden". Got it.Actually Homer, the people of Missouri voted 58% for this paid leave/sick leave last year.

Because if they vote for Democrats they will be doing abortions on every street corner and forcing churches to pay for them.Yeah, but they keep electing Republican governor after Republican governor, and the same for their US senators.

and those same people voted for those legislators that took away their sick leaveActually Homer, the people of Missouri voted 58% for this paid leave/sick leave last year.
