Donald Trump may have won the votes of the US’s most farming-dependent counties by an average of 78% in the 2024 election. But the moves made by his administration in the past few months – imposing steep tariffs, immigration policies that target the migrant labor farmers rely on, and canceling a wide range of USDA programs – have left many farmers reeling.
Some farmers, such as Bartman, loudly oppose Trump. “I’ve met some Democrats who’ll say: ‘You farmers deserve this. You voted for him.’ Well, I didn’t vote for the guy. The programs that have been impacted the most are targeted towards farmers that care about the environment.” Others, such as those living near North Carolina farmer Patrick Brown, are experiencing “buyer’s remorse”, said Brown, “but they don’t want to say it because they voted for the current administration”.
No matter who they voted for, farmers across the country are living in the new reality created by the Trump administration’s agricultural policies. The Guardian spoke to four farmers about what it’s like trying to grow crops, feed people, and keep their operations afloat in 2025.
No sympathy for these people at all. They said they’d vote for HitlerPig, everybody told them how disastrous it would be for their farms, and they went ahead and voted for him anyway.
And if he could run in 2028, they’d vote for him AGAIN.
Fuck them, they’re getting what they voted for, and it’s what they deserve.
Follow up question: would they vote for the orange idiot again? If so, thoughts and prayers.
I have realized that best is to elect people like trump who will eradicate these idiots.
Leopards ate my face? 🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ Hunh.
I would rock this tee so fuckin’ hard.
It has been oddly difficult to find one with this design, tbh
It’d be even better’d if it said something like:
“Today!” (above, left, curved ~45° to fit rainbow & anachro Care Bear/boho theme)
“May your god bless you with the day you voted for” (similar to existing text)
🤩
Hell, I’m this close to whipping that up and putting it out via Printify w/ a discount code for all y’all here to drop it to cost alone. 🤌🏼🤓
They got duped by him a second time, my pity is nonexistent since so many keep voting for him

Shame that couldn’t’ve been bothered to listen earlier, when it would’ve made a difference. How we’re all stuck in this world you wanted and we warned you against.
Shame that couldn’t’ve been bothered to listen earlier,
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice…
"They have a saying in Texas, probably other places to, but in Texas… "
“…Ya can’t get fooled again”
George W. Bush wanders out of the chat.
Hey don’t misunderestimate them!
Yes but I blame Congress equally. They are giving up their powers and letting the executive branch run them. And the Supreme Court deserves much blame too.
Truth is as reprehensible as trump is, his enablers are just as much to blame.
“I’ve met some Democrats who’ll say: ‘You farmers deserve this. You voted for him.’
If you voted for him, I agree. And I hope it hurts real bad so you remember.
Yeah, they act all hurt that that’s said. Like it’s your fucking fault you idiot! Everyone was telling you it before and you ignored it.
This is like a kid being told not to stick their fingers in the socket, they do, then get upset that you remind them that you told them not to. Grow the fuck up mate.
I bet he did in fact vote for him.
I love this for them. I hope they have the day they voted for! 🙏
