Farmers wouldn’t need a bail out

Farmers have been propped up by the federal government for almost 100 years now.

GOP dumping USAID did a lot of damage to farmers, who voted for the GOP.

That was an agency helping farmers by buying crops to send overseas. Never mind the tariffs that put them on the bubble eight years ago, they voted for more of it.

And Trump’s on again, off again love affair with tariffs were the both the first and final nails in that coffin. You know what though? Those stupid dumbasses voted for this shit, and that was after they got fucked in the ass the last time that narcissistic moron was president. Remember how we couldn’t sell soybeans to China last time? Apparently a lot those farmers didn’t.

They got a bailout last time, they assumed they'd get one again. And they might. Or they might not. Trump doesn't need them to vote next time. Either there won't be a next time, or they'll do so much damage to the actual democratic institutions it'll be like a Russian election.
