As someone from rural Arkansas who in my early life was around these farmers and their families quite a bit until I was in my mid twenties. I can tell you they are some of the most obstinate people you can meet. They regularly got welfare in the form of subsidies and then talked trash about anyone needing welfare or food stamps. Some of those people were their workers.

I've watched them buy new vehicles and trash them in just a few years when they could have taken care in the fields with them. Instead they would twist them like pretzels pulling and pushing on farm equipment instead of thinking things through. They didn't care because they would be getting some graft from the government to pay for a new one.

So no they don't need help. Unless it mental health. They will never vote in their best interests. They will continue to believe they are better than everyone around them. They will of course whine like toddlers when they don't get their way.

Gosh, I wonder who might have done this to them.

from the video: "it's hard not to be moved by the cries of those who put food on your table"

do not forget that most of them are huge mega-corporations that own vast areas of land and don't operate based on small-families, but rather economies of scale

and also do not forget that most of these farmers probably voted republican and also that they would decry the exact support measures they're now asking for as "communism" if these support dollars would benefit somebody else.

they can't handle the winning. I think they need to keep winning

All this winning is getting exhausting

The federal government put you there. Kinda doubt theyre gonna reverse course

“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.

Fuck, that's rough. Guess we're gonna get dragged even more into corporate farms

I bet nearly all of them will continue voting Republican (or just stop voting altogether).

Look at all these socialists!

... And Trump will look down, and whisper:

No.

Trump won Arkansas with 64% of the vote. May they get the day they voted for.

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.

“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.

Jesus Christ.

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.

“Struggling Arkansas farmers” or MAGA bootlickers that fucked up and voted for a shifty, no-good, greasy, New York sidewinder because of some-dick complex? #fuckaroundandfinout #youdonefoundoit #gofuckyourself

It's only gonna get worse. We're heading towards dustbowl 2.0.

FEMA Agriculture assistance while supplies last. Maybe vote blue next time.

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.

There's an actual prayer at the end of that article.

Edit: nm, it was quoting a prayer from one of the farmers at the meeting

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

screw them Trump boot lickers
