‘We Voted for Trump to Fix the Border. Now We’re Milking Cows Alone at 4 A.M.’ – Vermont Farmers Face Harsh Reality as ICE Raids Hit Home
thesarkariform.com
When Donald Trump supporters in rural Vermont cast their ballots, many say they never imagined immigration…

Do these people not understand what illegal immigrant meant? It means not a US citizen, not documented here, no VISA.

    And yet the article closes with a farmer saying he’d vote for Trump again, despite the destruction of his labor force and the damage to his livelihood. The cultists are sick.

      That’s why I feel zero empathy with them. After all these years I think I figured it out.

      It’s a kink. A masochistic one.

      The general conservative wants to get fucked, hard. Like break my choker through my ass kind of hard. That’s why they voted Trump twice into office. They acted as if they cared about political correctness or Mexicans or Trans people or whatever show they put up to be angry about nowadays. Everything a lie. It’s only about being daddy’s little slut. And like the common Twitter Weeb, they want to make their fuck fantasy everyone else’s problem too.

      Don’t believe me? Then explain this article. I wait.

        Yup. MAGAs want to be RULED. They’ve always wanted a mommy and daddy figure to tell them what to do, because thinking for themselves just makes their pore heds hurt sumpthin’ awful.

        I’m not even sure why you’re mad at the above poster. It doesn’t look like they had a chance to disagree with your point even. If anything it looks like they are on the same page as you. Who is it exactly you’re challenging and why?

            So are you are using ‘?’ Here Because you’re not asking a question? Is this how you express emotions instead of asking questions?

            I can’t see your face or hand gestures or tone so emotion doesn’t convey very well in text form on it’s own. the end part looked like you were demanding an answer from someone. At first I wasn’t sure who that was directed at given everyone is on the same page here. I was expecting you were using punctuation the same as it was intended for communicating. Now I can’t understand if you’re angry, asking questions, or making demands. Or if you’re some sort of shitty AI bot glitching.

      Immigrant labor was a huge deal during Trump’s first term, so if they didn’t see this coming them there is no chance they will ever learn.

      https://www.wisfarmer.com/story/news/state/2018/08/24/where-migrants-documented-undocumented-fit-into-wis-ag-workforce/1085101002/

      Under the Trump administration, dairy farmers and their immigrant employees say they are facing increased hostility and fear crackdowns that could jeopardize their livelihoods. Meanwhile, there have been legislative efforts to expand guest worker programs to include the dairy industry as it grapples with a growing reliance on undocumented immigrants for its workforce.

      “If we couldn’t bring these seasonal workers over, we would have less horticultural production here,” said Jette Nantel. “And, we’d be buying products from other places and would have no say on the labor or environmental conditions there.”

      They then voted for BOTH fewer immigrants to work their farms AND higher tariffs.
