As tariffs take effect, farmers fear retaliation from other countries will impede their exports and drive up costs of production.

Mind you, they have learned nothing, apparently:

Still, many farmers, who backed Trump by large margins in the 2024 election, were reluctant to speak openly about their concerns, for fear of being seen as criticizing him or because they hope the administration will protect farmers as it has in the past.

So either they still support him, they are afraid of him and therefore support him, or they hope he’ll make sure his bullshit only hurts other people (again).

    The hell you mean “could” like it’s some possibly-maybe thing that could kinda-sorta happen? It is happening. It has happened. They’re completely fucked.

    Oh well, everyone tried to warm them and they were even interviewed in articles stating they haven’t even recovered from Trump 2016 tariffs.

    Get fucked, good luck.

        Oh I’m sure he’ll spend our tax money and give them another handout like the welfare queens they are.

      Pretty much every liberal begged them to see that it was going to hurt them, and they arrogantly told us to fuck off. So… they can sit there and pout.
