    Hey silver lining, Trump seems to be doing a really good job of pissing off the military leadership and the common soldiers as well. The only ones that are actually supporting him are nut jobs, the grifters who think they can use him, and executives who think they can squeeze more profit out by crawling up his ass.

    As for farmers that’s kind of a mixed bag. The problem isn’t so much that they’ll support him as it is that there might not be many of them left. Trumps policies are bankrupting farmers at a record rate and their farms are being snapped up by foreign holding companies. Most of them are going to end up working farms they no longer own.

      A lot of farmers are killing themselves. The US will have to give migrant workers a path in - which is kind of big picture funny.

        for all their bullshit, conservatives have never given a fuck about farmers. if they did, we wouldn’t have a migration issue at all.
