Almost the entire rural Republican base gets screwed by Deere daily. Now that there's an official attempt to fix the issues, killing it would be a direct attack on those supporters.
And as much as Trump doesn't actually give a shit about anyone else, it would signal that the Republican party, as an extension, don't actually give a single shit about them either. Something that base has been clinging to like a life preserver in an ocean for years.
And? The voting is over, they don't give a fuck about protecting "the base" anymore. Hell, they're probably planning for the anger they'll create to just be blamed on "liberals" so the base will go shoot them.
I've had to say this so many times. You think trump's "base" gives the tiniest flying fuck what happens to them personally? They will hate deere all day long and still think that being able to legally kill brown kids and gay/trans people is vastly more important than their entire livelihood being ransacked; because Fox and OAN told them so.
"This thing with Deere, have you heard? A total witch hunt, a total - what they're doing is a disgrace, and - have you seen the fires? The fires are because of woke. It's ALL woke. This county's going woke and there's nothing anyone can do about it."
And bam - Trump supporters will back Deere.
this seems like a national food security issue if manufacturers are fucking the producers over with extra expenses
Definitely, but it's built into the existing system as it sits, and was implemented slowly over decades. This isn't new by any measure, it's just finally starting to be addressed.
Believe it or not, Deere has been right at the forefront (on the wrong side) of the right to repair fight. They're one of the most egregious anti-repair companies on the planet, even more than Apple.
