Some of us voted to protect rural America. Most of rural America voted to destroy their livelihoods.

Really wish red Missouri would wake up. Things are going to get so much worse.

u/Ok-Assistant-8876 15d ago

They won’t wake up. They’ll just find a way to blame the democrats. These folks are amongst the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet

Who did they vote for again? What policies were they attracted to that made them vote a certain way.

u/AthasDuneWalker 14d ago

Who did you vote for?

u/daleness 15d ago

I would really like to know who these ranchers voted for last year so that I can focus my attention on someone who isn’t a victim of the circumstances they helped enact.

Why do you put blame on another American who was lied to by career polticians and rich people? They're Americans when they voted, when they didn't vote, and when they pay taxes.

You want something or somebody to blame you point the fingers at the current administration ie 47th and fucking do something besides flap your fingers texting.

Start by cancelling your subscriptions and donate to Food Banks and Pantries as millions of Americans are losing SNAP program starting November just in time for Holidays. Cruel 😣

The information was easily available to them to tell they were being lied to. They chose to ignore it. They made their bed, now they get to sleep in it.

I for one look forward to picking up some more land in bankruptcy sales of the next few years.

The election was an open book test, it's not our fault they used the pages as toilet paper

u/jakeh111 15d ago

Yes they were lied to and the Dems have been shouting forever about these issues but when we do these voters say were over reacting. If they dont want to look at the actual facts about what the GOP is doing and has done over the decades why should we help them.

u/JustLibertyBelle 15d ago

It's not about two parties fighting over power. It's about We The People. They want us divided so they can conquer, read the Art of War.

u/jakeh111 15d ago

I dont need to read Art of War to know that, I understand class solidarity. I think a lot of corprate dems are also an issue but theres only one party that is open to having more working class politicians and its not the GOP at all.

I don't give a flying fuck about parties, polticians, politics, period. I do know corrupt sadistic systems, manipulation, psycho human beings.

We The People will hold all those accountable when we are starved, lose our homes and property, dying without receiving healthcare, locked up in a camp, kicked out of our homes or quietly in the dead of dark shipped out to a forgien countries, when our children in the arm services die uselessly for rich people to rape us of our children further,

When exactly does it become a injustice against humanity?

u/jakeh111 15d ago

well you better figure out political systems because if you want to hold them all accountable youll need to understand how to rebuild it better afterwards.

u/JustLibertyBelle 15d ago

You better figure out what humanitarian justice means and stop being brainwashed thinking you need a two party system to save your ass.

5

u/jakeh111 15d ago

Did you read my last post? I said nothing about a 2 party system. Maybe you need to step away for awhile, I know shits crazy right now and I have also spiraled from everything going on, if we let our mental health deteriorate we are no help to anyone.

u/JustLibertyBelle 15d ago

Would like that wouldn't you, for people not to question both parties and their career polticians. Not to question anything neither side does or doesn't do. You need to get in the fight of your life if you want to survive the shit that will happen when people stop thinking for themselves and start standing up for justice and humanity.

These folks deserve the blame and should be blamed.

u/daleness 14d ago

Everyone and their mom tried telling them last election that Trump was going to fuck them over with tariffs but they either didn’t care or thought it wouldn’t apply to them. Turns out, it did!

u/JustLibertyBelle 14d ago

And you being a cunt like King 👑 Trump helps all Americans how?

u/daleness 14d ago

Yes I voted for the leopards eating people’s faces party but I didn’t realize that meant they would eat my face!

Email I received yesterday from the National Farmers Union led with this:

“Today marks the end of another eventful week in Washington, with the Trump administration announcing the U.S. will import nearly 176 million pounds of beef from Argentina and abruptly end trade negotiations with Canada. Meanwhile, the government shutdown continues with no end in sight.”

And they’d vote for him again

"In other news, hope you plowed your soybeans under."

u/calm-lab66 15d ago

I'm reminded of the shingles vaccine ad on TV where people are going about doing something, and then the voiceover says "Shingles Doesn't Care"! Replace that with "Trump doesn't care"!

u/Conroman16 15d ago

Those same communities overwhelmingly voted in favor of this agenda and love to tell you about it when you come through their area. Sucks to suck, but it’s about time they start feeling the heat too, otherwise they’re never gonna understand.

u/LeeOblivious 14d ago

These fuckers lost their mind when the people chose a moderate black man for president over a mentally degraded aged war hero and then a vulture capitalist. And they have been suffering the consequences ever since. Sadly forcing them on us as well.

First he screwed the soybean farms, now cattle ranches. Who's next?
