Trump-loving Arkansas farmers plead for government assistance to save them from the Trump policies they voted for

Working as designed. Rot poor hicks.

They can go eat Sarah Huckabee's pussy.

[quote] “Mr. Trump, you looked at me and said, ‘I love you,’” Woodruff County farmer Chris King said. “Mr. Trump, I need to see the fruit of your love.”

So this genius voted for the gazillionaire fraudster and sex offender with the golden toilet and thought he was going to be on his side? Honestly, Republicans are hilarious!

People like Mr King are stupider than pig dribble and deserve to be left to rot.

It's like all that racism they voted for just isn't enough anymore 🤷‍♂️

Excuse me?

Am I supposed to feel sorry for them?

R3, they knew specifically what would happen. In his first term Trump paid out a lot of assistance/welfare to farmers whose businesses had been hurt by Trump’s own tariff policies. That wasn’t enough to rescue everyone the first time. In fact, the U.S. may have permanently lost a lot of agricultural business to other countries.

Dwayne and Doris Dumbfuck Deserve Disaster in D'Arkansas.

American farmers are some of the dumbest people on earth, always voting against their own interests and using their best poor mouth strategy to beg for handouts. All because they are so special -- unlike anyone else in the U.S-- and they deserve a broad array of subsidies and grants and tax breaks and special exemptions so they can be their homespun selves and vote fro Republicans will will ensure that their farms are sold out from under the precious family farmers for benefit of the much more precious multinational firms and their handful of billionaire leaders.

Waaaah aaaaah asaaaah

Oops! Didn't see there was already a thread. Guess I'm as dumb as the Arkansas farmers.

Oh well

Schadenfreude is a dish best served cold.

FAFO

Unbelievable. As someone who fought to stay employed and worked my ass off throughout the pandemic but never saw a dime of stimulus or assistance, they can just fuck off. Seriously.

[quote]American farmers are some of the dumbest people on earth, always voting against their own interests

Why are they not voting for the party that calls them some of the dumbest people on earth?? It's a mystery.

Did the party call them that or just some random on Datalounge?

Would they be able to grow thoughts and prayers?

They only voted for Trump because they believe he hates Black and Brown people as much as they do -- and he might -- but they mistakenly believed that he ONLY hates Black and Brown people. Trump hates EVERYONE. He hates poor people, he hates the disabled, he hates the infirmed, he hates the uneducated, he hates military 'losers,' he hates members of his own family but he REALLY hates rural red staters aka what he would consider "white trash." Trump wants to be an elite, he is not and will never be, but he has deep contempt and red-hot scorn for those beneath him. Yep, the very folks who exalt him and lift him up -- he HATES them.

I would offer these poor souls my thoughts and prayers but God abandoned MAGA when they abandoned Him in favor of the Orange AntiChrist.

get your government hands off my welfare

Trump does love you, he’s giving you Covid and polio and measles and rubella and more. Good times!

[quote] “In the short term, they have no choice but to mail us a check,” said Brown. “I don’t know a farmer that likes the check program. Nobody wants to take the taxpayer dollars, but nobody wants to go broke, nobody wants to lose everything. Long term, we have to have options, markets, and places to sell our product.”

Fuck ALL the way off, farmers of Arkansas and all the other rural redneck states. Not one FUCKING cent of solvent blue state taxpayer bailout money for you this time. You VOTED for this, you casually disparage your fellow Americans of California and other blue states that pay your destitute states' fucking bills, you can suffer ALL the consequences on this one.

You're not entitled to a fucking thing except the ramifications of your votes.

Leopard ate my face!! This shit would be so funny if I wasn't being affected by drumpf

These dumb rednecks are asking welfare while everyone else is supposed to suffer

R19, trump doesn't hate all black and brown people. Just the poor ones.

But he certainly does hate all poor people

bootstrappers on the grift, demanding a handout.

FUCK YOU

[quote] So these genius farmers voted for the gazillionaire fraudster and sex offender with the golden toilet bowl and thought he was going to be on their side? Honestly, Republicans are hilarious!

well farmers, this is all your fault. You all voted for trump. You all deserve this

If I had the money, I'd put this on billboards all over the midwest

You can have your welfare money, if you give up your right to vote. You're too stupid to live and too stupid to vote.

What are the chances that Trump will bail out the farmers because they are suffering under the weight of the tariffs?

Well, he bailed them out in his first term:

[quote] Google AI: During his first term, President Trump authorized a series of trade mitigation payments to American farmers, totaling approximately $28 billion across three separate programs to offset the negative impact of tariffs and retaliatory actions from countries like China. These payments were made to farmers who suffered losses due to trade disputes and were distributed through programs administered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Forbes said this about the cost of relief to the farmers during Trump's first term:

[quote] The Trump administration gave more taxpayer dollars to farmers harmed by the administration’s trade policies than the federal government spends each year building ships for the Navy or maintaining America’s nuclear arsenal, according to a new report. A National Foundation for American Policy analysis concluded the spending on farmers was also higher than the annual budgets of several government agencies. “The amount of money raises questions about the strategy of imposing tariffs and permitting the use of taxpayer money to shield policymakers from the consequences of their actions,” according to the analysis.

If Trump did that during his first term, wonder what he'll do to for his farmer base in his second term. Guess.

Welfare queens.

Communists.

Ha ha!!!

Living in the South and the Midwest, I’ve learned long ago that these dumb fucks don’t mind socialism at all as long as they reap the benefits of it and not the “coloreds.”

I did a study in the 1990s and even back then states with Republican governors had a bigger increase in state employment than states with Democratic governors. And who has worked with police unions to make police officers a privileged upper middle class elite? Republicans, that's who. As gay people, we were never fooled by their phoney anti-government rhetoric as they have always attempted to control our intimate lives to the smallest detail. And of course making a profitable caste of the military contractors has been the biggest scam pulled off by government in the last fifty years. But that's just it: Republicans have NEVER been who they say they are. It is a party of looters in both the Ayn Randian and regular sense.

Ayn Rand, another phony welfare queen from RUSSHER

Yes, and they would vote for him again tomorrow if they had the chance. People never learn.

"Welcome to Costco, I love you"

They should pull themselves up by their bootstraps

Just wait until that next rampaging tornado.

COMMIE SOCIALISTS wanting government handouts!

Farmers and ranchers get the biggest subsidies (welfare) of any group. These guys must be dummies.

The greediest Welfare grabbers in America are farmers!

People on SNAP barely get a couple hundred a month to not starve, but these farmers get TENS AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS on top of the massive yearly Farm Bill which doles out billions in the worst kind of Socialist "price supports" among many other freebies like no-interest loans and grants to buy anything they want! We are literally paying farmers our own taxpayer money to keep prices we pay higher!

Now they are demanding more! Maybe it's time to ditch the "heartland" and quit cosplaying as a successful farmer and go get real jobs! You're robbing us blind!

"You looked at me, and said 'I love you.'"

Delusional narcissism must be contagious in MAGAworld.

No, they said it “Ah luv yeeeewwwww”

They should have handed out mirrors to those MAGA-Morons at that meeting, so they could be reminded who did this to them. And now they’re begging for help?! Go fuck yourselves, ,MAGAts!

Imagine that; Trump not fulfilling a campaign promise.

Sucks to be stupid.

Is it wrong to cum from reading this?

Reporter: who will you vote for next time?

MAGA farmer: Trump! He cares about us!

They got what they voted for. Fuck thrm.

[quote]these dumb fucks don’t mind socialism at all as long as they reap the benefits of it

So they're sort of "national socialists"

WE got what THEY voted for. FUCK THEM.

Socialism!!

When Trump said he was going to enact major tariffs and kick out all the undocumented, what did these farmer think he would do?

R54 Maybe they expected their trade mitigation checks to be mailed out by now.

Thanks R29 for your informative comment.

Here’s where reality bites:

Many of these farmers aren’t dumb nor stupid.

Growing produce, meeting USDA requirements, selling it en mass via contracts, packaging it, and finally distributing it, requires sound business sense.

The conundrum we’re facing with a certain sector of MAGA is that while they’re not clinically stupid, with low IQ, they’ve still managed to vote in a manner that results in risking their entire business, career & income.

Why is that?

Because they’re hooked on right wing media sources, & live fairly isolated, without any outside input on social issues.

As long as people stay stuck on FOX? This will not change.

Either the dems find a perfect candidate who can create a movement that sticks, or we fall deeper into economic despair & fascism.

Boot straps, thoughts, and prayers.

[Quote] Why is that? Because they’re hooked on right wing media sources, & live fairly isolated, without any outside input on social issues.

White Supremacy has a powerful hold on many Americans. They are seeing minorities becoming successful, particularly our Black President . That’s too much for them

[quote] Many of these farmers aren’t dumb nor stupid.

[quote] Because they’re hooked on right wing media sources, & live fairly isolated, without any outside input on social issues. As long as people stay stuck on FOX? This will not change.

Still sounds pretty stupid to me. If you constantly listen to FOX and other right-wing media, and you put all your trust in Trump, only to discover that the president and the policies you've been told to trust are leading to your financial ruin, the smart response would be, "I guess I should check out some other news sources and at least consider what the Democrats or independent candidates have to offer." No matter how isolated you are, it's not too hard to change the TV channel or visit a different website once in a while. To double down and continue clinging to the politicians and media who are destroying your livelihood seems stupid.

They want checks! Isn't that socialism?

They'd still vote for him. They'd rather show the libs than keep their farms.

I bet the Chinese could buy these money-losing farms for pennies on the dollar and turn hefty profits with zero government welfare!

Trump should consider sending the states' National Guards into the farm states to pick vegetables!

Where are all their MAGA hats? Did they fall in the harvester?

I don't like socialism! But I need a CHECK from the government!

Fucking clowns.

Sorry there's no extra money left this time. I had to make sure my billionaire friends had continuos generous tax cuts so they could put champagne and caviar on their tables.

R59, this isn’t stupidity of the ordinary kind. As many people have pointed out, fascism is a religion in which the state and its leader become objects of worship. It offers its followers the chance to participate in a heroic narrative about restoring “national greatness.” They may have to suffer, they may have to suffer a lot, but it makes them a part of something they believe is important.

From the outside, the insanity looks obvious, but clearly Trumpism fulfills an emotional need in people who, in any other context, would appear to be normal.

Farmers in places like Arkansas mainline handouts from the rest of us like RFK, Jr. ingest(ed) heroin.

Unfortunately, all Americans will have to suffer for the racism, bigotry, and ignorance of those who voted for him and those who didn't vote at all. We should all suffer. Its not fair, but its the only way. This country may need to hit rock bottom before people pull their heads out their asses.

[quote]This country may need to hit rock bottom before people pull their heads out their asses.

May need to? This country is in a death spiral right now.

WAHHHHHH tough fucking luck...deal with it!

[quote] Many of these farmers aren’t dumb nor stupid.

You are overestimating most of them. Especially considering the extensive federal and state investment in farming, and the nearly century-old government subsidized infrastructure that is in place to enable them to sell what they produce.

America has ALWAYS suffered for its racism, bigotry and ignorance. It is hard to fathom how great this country could be if it had found a way to atone for its original sin and not turned backward In the late 19th Century.

Farmers are both dumb and stupid and what's more proud of it.

MAGA: I don’t blame Trump, it’s the people behind him….

REALITY: They all hate you.

R58, you think farmers who start working at 3-4 am until 3-4 pm, who then go back in their home, shower, eat dinner, then turn on their televisions or PCs in order to catch information on a right wing media outlet, are actually consuming media that shows them that minorities are successful, & “catching up” with white folks?

LMAO!

I’m sorry, but you do not understand how this all works.

Why do you think these people vote the way they do?

FEAR.

NOT fear spurred by the success of others, but fear that a group of black or Hispanic gangbangers will jack them or possibly kill them for their F-150 when they park it at a Walmart parking lot.

r75, you seem to be convinced there isa lot of "thinking" going on...there isn't!

And if ANYONE is getting up at 3-4am, it's the cheap immigrant labor!

It really is weird seeing them without their MAGA hats, huh?

Fuck 'em!

So sad to see so many Poor MAGA farmers think that Trump owes them anything.

What these traitors to the Cult of the Cunt owe Trump is a quick death. Sell the farm at a loss and kill yourself.

Stop being a drag on Rich MAGA. What did you think Made America Great Again, anyway? Making the rich RICHER.

If they need money they can get on Farmers Only and sling some dick!

They canall sign up to be ICE agents and terrorize the people who used to work their farms for them. Won't that be fun?

Shouldn't they all be arrested for hiring illegal labor?

I mean, that is a crime!

I don't agree. Obama SHATTERED the white American psyche. It is impossible to live anywhere in America without some awareness of Black people's march toward prosperity. The KKK was a reaction to post-slavery Reconstruction. White people are fearful of Black violence just as Black people are fearful of violence. However, white people are MORE fearful of Black leadership, Black prosperity and Black political influence. DEI did not become a racist buzzword because a white farmer is afraid of being carjacked on a trip to the city.

What a nonsensee R82. Every word of that is a lie. And puttingg a madman in charge of thousands of nuclear weapons can not be justified because widdle whitey is wwowwied about his social status. That subhuman and every single person who voted or gave money to Trump deserves to lose any freedoms they have.

Damn farmers are ugly.

[quote] Why are they not voting for the party that calls them some of the dumbest people on earth?? It's a mystery.

The democratic party actually called farmers dumb? When did this happen? Who said it? Why wasn’t this more widely reported? You’re sitting on something huge !!!! Tell us more!!!!

Those dumb fucks deserve to lose everything, end up homeless and then end up incarcerated for being homeless since MAGA hates the homeless

R82 is the ghost of Raymond Burrs asshole during a hemorrhoid flare up.

R76, your take is reasonable, however, incorrect.

That’s not how rural folks behave. I know, as I lived amongst them for years.

Whether they’re farmers, workers at a Walmart warehouse, or local, non franchised restaurant owners, rural folks get up early before sunrise, & finish up right before sundown, with the exception being warehouses that run 24/7, where managers & team leads are assigned per shift.

These people bust their butts right along with their farm/ranch hands. They may not be picking actual agriculture, however, they make sure all of the equipment is running smoothly, they constantly inventory what’s coming in, what’s going out. They are constantly running quality control on all orders, running inventory again for packaging & distribution, coordinating with incoming and outgoing trucks, buyers, payroll, etc. There’s so much more than what I just mentioned, but please know that these folks work REALLY hard.

Surprisingly enough to some of you? Many are college educated, having earned degrees in agricultural studies, other sciences, & business administration. Many manage to do this by serving in our armed forces. They like to keep it in the family whenever possible, so their kid’s & grandkids go out & do the same.

Again, many city folk have the wrong idea about farmers. They aren’t dumb, nor stupid. They ARE, however, living in some of the most isolated, cultural bubbles in the landscape of Americana. And again, we must find dem candidates that can speak to them in concrete, meaningful ways, in order to win presidential elections & midterms.

We need an everyday kinda guy that these people relate to.

Let’s see what happens.

R82? Plenty of those farmers we speak of voted for Obama. Obama was revolutionary in that manner. The Tea Party, now MAGA, are not necessarily the same people, though admittedly, the Venn Diagram does intersect them, up to a point.

We need a younger, better looking, more charismatic, Jimmy Carter type. Disagree all you want, however, what I’m suggesting is true.

I grew up among farmers too and in a farm family. (Although a category of farmer that does not qualify for any form of government subsidy.) Farmers are not necessarily more stupid than other people, but they are just as stupid. And that means pretty stupid on average. My father worked EXTREMELY hard. But so do a lot of people. And he had the pleasure of being his own boss, unlike most people. A lot of people have to work hard but also deal with an unfair boss or deal non-stop with unpleasant customers.

What these farmers are asking for is stupid and selfish and deserves to be ridiculed as such. And, in saying that, I'm not suggesting the Democratic party ever has or ever will even slightly hint that farmers are stupid and selfish. The individual voter and poster on DL need to continue lambasting these people for their greed and stupidity, but the party itself needs to continue to pretend that we respect their concerns.

I'm sure what these people are going through is hard, and a handful of them probably didn't vote for Trump, but there are a lot of people who lead unpleasant lives who aren't calling for and expecting as a matter of course to receive huge handouts (nursing home workers, warehouse workers, lower paid health care workers, etc.,)

I really don't care, do you?

‘’It’s killin all the right people’’

Farmer Chris King said., “Mr. Trump, I need to see the fruit of your love.”

Honey, you should have felt the fruit of his love as his semen dripped out of your...dumbass.

Fuck 'em.

I hope it hurts.

[quote]We need an everyday kinda guy that these people relate to.

You mean "We need a white everyday kinda guy that these people relate to." except attempting to figure out what person might qualify to these fact-averse cement heads and then try to engineer a national candidate who might just siphon off 10% of red swing state voters to get this unicorn elected really isn't a reasonable plan now, is it?

A safer, faster plan is to just give them all the candidates they worship like Trump until they grind themselves into their graves or penury. Then maybe 10% will figure out what caused their ruination and quit getting all their info from Fox news.

[quote]I really don't care, do you?

Not in the slightest. Why should I?

The Arkansas farmers can feast on the Huckabeast's toe jam.

They voted for this so Fuck 'em!

[quote]Farmer Chris King said., “Mr. Trump, I need to see the fruit of your love.”

Can all of you fucking scolds telling us farmers are smart please read this again and then STFU?

Retard Barron is the fruit of Trump's love. And his geriatric, Adderall damaged sperm.

Soon they'll have nothing to worry about. Big ag, real estate developers and venture capitalists will be happy to take those farms off them.

SUFFER

Socialism For Dummies

He fucked soybean farmers over mightily the first time. How did they not learn that lesson? Same way they won't learn it this time. Even a toddler knows not to touch the stove twice

[quote]“Mr. Trump, you looked at me and said, ‘I love you,’” Woodruff County farmer Chris King said. “Mr. Trump, I need to see the fruit of your love.”

I really hope South Park does something with this.

Trump’s rise is specifically because of his call for white supremacy. Over the last 40 years, especially, the GOP has nurtured it. It’s now exploded with Trump.

Pathetically, TV commentators NEVER bring that up. Its head scratching when commentators say variations of “I just don’t understand what’s attracting people to Trump.”

It was the multi century effort of The Klan/Heritage Foundation that has made all of this shit show possible, r104.

I’d tell them all to go fuck themselves but they do that every time they vote.

Dumb fucks

[quote]“Mr. Trump, you looked at me and said, ‘I love you,’” Woodruff County farmer Chris King said. “Mr. Trump, I need to see the fruit of your love.”

This reads like the opening of the worst romance novel of all time.

Donald Trump loves the 'poorly educated' — and they love him.

[quote] “Mr. Trump, you looked at me and said, ‘I love you,’” Woodruff County farmer Chris King said. “Mr. Trump, I need to see the fruit of your love.”

There is no check large enough to help any grown adult capable of humiliating himself so much by saying something like that. Is it some sort of sexual kink? A humiliation/masochism thing?

We don't vote for people who love us or whom we love. We vote for candidates who best represent our political views and values.

Which is a nonsense statement that only debuted in 2024 b ecause noboyd likes Trump. Back in teh day these same idiots wanted to have a beer with GWB, someone who certainly did not share their values, and neither does Trump.

Ah need yew ta look me in duh eye end tale me you wuv me

I'm reading r112's post in Jodie Foster's "Nell" voice

This meme about sums it up.

I really don't think Trump or any of his DC MAGA crew is gonna be digging up $28 billion for these sod busters like he did in his first term. It is not looking good for them.

I guess they'll start offing themselves soon, tortured by the dichotomy of what they thought they voted for and what they got, just like the five or so Capitol police who committed suicide after January 6th, clearly all Trump voters who were nearly killed by Trump and their fellow Trump voters.

Trump won't save them because he wants all the farms to be owned and run by corporations.

Tell the farmers that love means never to have to say you're sorry.

Ooops! Love means never having to say you're sorry.

[quote]Mr. Trump, I need to see the fruit of your love.

Believe me, you do NOT want to see that.

I could shoot a poor farmer on Dogpatch Lane and not lose a single vote!

Roast pork is delicious!

R114, that meme is funny because it exposes Poor MAGA as not realizing they are racist AND poor.

R116 is right, that this time, Poor MAGA has a higher resource level, but Trump fucked up their income stream.

Sorry, racist farmers, business is business.

R109, I have long felt that MAGAts are ruled by their daddy issues. Just look at One America News Network and GovX commercials. They're staged like the setup to gay porn scenes.

R109 Big Time!!!

r125 r109 it's a cult thing.

The funny thing is that "Let's Go Brandon" really did try to bail them out and help them over and over. And they (like the Teamsters) repaid this with an avalanche of votes for Trump.

No one is going to try to help out the farmers ever again.

[quote]No one is going to try to help out the farmers ever again.

Farmers = Rurals

Never say never.

Republicans won't help farmers at all - or at least small, independent farmers. They will do their best to immiserate those people so big money interests (who the Republicans will always help) can swoop in and buy up all the productive land.

So, thank to their voting behavior - rural America is faced with the twin catastrophes of no jobs for men (manufacturing won't come back to the US, sorry) and no jobs for women, either, since rural women largely work in healthcare, which largely means Medicaid which the Republicans will slash the fuck out of.

r8 "American farmers are some of the dumbest people on earth."

What would that make you since you rely on everything FROM those places? Farmers are nice people. You ascribe to them this urban corrupt persona that is not what you would find. Some of you are just really MEAN and full of VITRIOL.

the image in OP makes me furious. None of those people are starving. Whiny and fake. EVIL

Oh, can it, Miss Prisspot, r30!

r129 is right. They want to buy up foreclosed farms

Well, they're not going to see anything about that on FOX.

As ye sow so shall ye reap Dumbfucks.

The farmers are the mean ones as they have endangered the future of all humanity on earth by putting a cognitiviely deficient, morally depraved, psychologically disturbed madman in charge of thousands of nuclear weapons. There is NO EXCUSE for conduct like that.

Leopards ate my face!!!!!!!

Just have meeting with Donald. He send message that he love you long time! Be best!
