    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.

    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.

    People act like these guys are going to get left out in the cold. In Trump’s first term when his trade war with China fucked over the soybean farmers the government bailed them out.

    Hope they don’t get a fucking dime. Cant vote to fuck the country then ask for handouts from the blue states when it does.

    “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.

      Hmm, when Trump’s treason and corruption can no longer be denied, maybe we’ll have an epidemic of MAGA suicides. Too bad they ended funding for suicide hotlines.

      It’s already a very poor area, I can’t imagine anything looking more bleak than an entire lifetime of work slip away. What is your purpose after that?

    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.

      Didn’t Trump say he was shutting down FEMA because the states could do a better job on their own? So let Arkansas figure out how to bail them out this time.

    What’s the over/under that Arkansas farmers actually learn from this and stop voting Republican?

      Zero, that level of rational thought makes them understand how fucked they are, at which point they kill themselves. Or sell the farm to a megacorp while they’re still above water on their loans

      And I’m not joking about the suicide thing. There’s suicide hotline programs specifically for farmers realizing they’re going to lose everything, which of course have been cut

        In the 00s my uncle was in a position where Monsanto was suing him for not holding up his end of the contract, because he had a bad crop year. Anyway, my grandparents bailed him out by financing a lawyer who settled for him, and it really didn’t fix the problem at all. He still lost his farm, my grandparents were no longer wealthy because they kept trying to help him, and the uncle died a couple years later to cancer (probably driven by stress). They bailed him out because they were afraid he’d kill himself over the farm, and it took him out anyway

          Damn, that’s rough. Monsanto are fucking demons, honestly? Solid chance they were making him use some product that causes cancer. Either way, the whole industry is horrible, sorry your family went through that
