Machia voted for Trump, drawn by promises of border control and national security. “We didn’t want drugs or gangbangers,” he said. But what he didn’t expect was losing some of his most dedicated employees to immigration arrests.

“It’s scaring the farming community,” Machia admitted. “We didn’t think they’d come for the people who help us milk cows.”

LOL. Idiots

"I hate black people unless they work on my plantation" - GOP voters

It's hilarious because it's the same shit as Brexit. At its core it's racist policies that amount to "we don't like brown people". Sometimes you need to watch the house burn for people to learn.

There is no we about it, the majority of farmers are Democrats.

The problem here is those farmers will now want to charge more. Even though their labor cost just went down.

The US can just import more food!

Oh, wait.

unless they need to hire someone qualified to handle their administrative duties.

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

"I voted to get kicked in the balls and I must say that I was shocked when I got kicked in the balls."

Sometimes it feels like being happy that Trumpers are suffering is like cheering when a disease dies with the host. It's a momentary happiness that the Balrog fell... milliseconds before you realize it's pulling you down with it.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Nah, not like that at all. More like having the tiniest drop of schadenfreud when the idiot bus driver finally realizes they fell asleep on the job again and we're about to go off the cliff. Much better when the idiots responsible for this mess realize it than not.

Yeah, that's too bad. ANYWAY . . .

So you are... Checks notes 2200 miles away from the border. I feel like even if we disregard them voting for trump and just judge them based on that being their main voting issue, they're dumb as fuck, aren't they?

No he's near the Canadian border, which he was told was a major route for fentanyl.

The guy is worried about gangs, yet lives in rural Vermont. What a fucking idiot.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

Idiot, or extreme coward?

... ok you got me, it's both.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago

It is kinda crazy how easy it seems to convince people the safest time in American history is the most dangerous.

Never understimate the power of bigotry as a political motivator, in particular among the uneducated. Trump and his oligarch cronies certainly doesn't.

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 88 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump, the recent crackdown has prompted a deeper reckoning within his community

Umm, okay, no sympathy then. Burn.

Imagine being so dedicated to a politician/political party that you’re no willing to make a change that costs you 0$ to save your family business

This is exactly when the interviewer should have looked right in their eyes and said "so you didn't learn a goddammit thing" then "enjoy your udders" then left.
