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.

FFS, I’m so tired of hearing this kind of thing, as if people are doing this for some kind of altruistic reasons.
those who put food on your table
They can fuck right off.
They’re doing a job and running a business just like everyone else. I don’t care if I eat their product or not. It’s a commodity.
They’ve spent years voting and acting against their own interests. Maybe they shouldn’t have been so fucking stupid.
Farmers are such cry babies and think they’re special. They aren’t. The only thing farmers have done in the US is let mega corps beat them into a ditch. If they can’t do the job, someone else will.
Amen to this. I am so tired of the sanctimony from those that happen to live in rural areas.
“Well, we grow your food”.
What, you are doing it for charity or something?
they can’t handle the winning. I think they need to keep winning
I bet nearly all of them will continue voting Republican (or just stop voting altogether).
What, are they going to vote for the people with Blah candidates or allow the purple-haired trans people to use public toilets?! Are you kidding me? What choice do they even have?
They’ll shove a fork in their eye while chanting “Let’s go Brandon”.
They’re fucking idiots.
All this winning is getting exhausting
“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
The federal government put you there. Kinda doubt theyre gonna reverse course
Look at all these socialists!
Does sound a lot like handouts to me.
Trump won Arkansas with 64% of the vote. May they get the day they voted for.
Shame on you! If those poor
kidsfacists could read they would be very upset!

Jesus Christ.
I’ll send some thoughts and prayers (since I can’t afford much else these days)
Hmm, when Trump’s treason and corruption can no longer be denied, maybe we’ll have an epidemic of MAGA suicides. Too bad they ended funding for suicide hotlines.

I forgot about that. IIRC, Canada had setup some new hotline to help Americans or something along those lines.
It’s already a very poor area, I can’t imagine anything looking more bleak than an entire lifetime of work slip away. What is your purpose after that?
Racism and blaming anyone but yourself, obviously
Attending more Taco rallies and buying more Taco-branded shit from China, now with extra tariffs?
Removed by mod
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.
US farmers are the biggest welfare queens around. They don’t know how to actually earn an entire dollar by working.
Fuckem. Reap what you sow, assholes.
Not just the country, but literally themselves
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.
