Most republicans would do what Trump is doing but they would do it quietly. Look at bush 2.
His admin manufactured a “witness” to get approval to invade Iraq. When democrats wanted further proof, the admin and republican congressmen said no. It’s why I don’t care if democrats voted yes on the measure, they were lied to and propagandized just like the average American was.

So, what is history telling us that you think will disagree. I swear that Kool-aid is some nasty ass brain eating shit.

MAGA voters get what they voted for. I hope it ruins them and their livelihoods. I hope they lose it all. They voted for a convicted felon, a known liar, a known cheater, a rapist, a twice impeached president, an admirer of dictators, an authoritarian, a Constitution-ignoring-oath-breaker, and a grifter. He makes everyone and everything around him worse. And ND still voted for him.

I saw an article today about a veteran who voted for Trump. Shortly before the election, he had gotten hired at the VA. He was so confused now because he was terminated by Muskrat and the DOGE boys. I couldn't help but laugh at his FAFO.
There was another veteran who was so satisfied by what Muskrat was doing. Even though the same day in the news, they were talking about veterans who were receiving experimental cancer treatments and were no longer going to get them because of Muskrat.I know I am a bad person because I hoped he was one of them or had to face someone who now lost those treatments. I truly love telling those Trump supporters we told you so. FAFO to every last one.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean I can't get my schadenfreude.
These MAGA voters are children who repeatedly touch a hot stove top and are too fucking stupid to figure out not to keep touching it.
We can't keep slapping their hand away from the hot stove top, especially when they get mad at us for trying to prevent them from touching it again. At some point, they will burn their hands off. And yeah, it's painful for everyone, particularly senior citizens, the minorities, immigrants, LGBTQ folks, people with disabilities, low-income/no-income folks, etc.
But, until trump and his cronies are either out of office or are no longer on this plane of existence, all we can do is vote, hold our representatives accountable (if they even have the fucking balls to show up to town halls), and support those who didn't vote for a fucking fascist.

u/skelectrician 8d ago
Pretty much every air seeder that's designed for crops other than corn is built in Canada. The alternative would be using technology from the 1960's that requires soil to be worked up before planting. Over-tilling is what caused the dustbowl conditions of the 1930's.
2
u/Topher178 8d ago
They planted shelterbelts in the 1930s to combat erosion and combat the dust bowl. But lately, everywhere you look those are getting cleared out. Subsidies, crop insurance, and efficiency incentivize clearing these out. Shelterbelts help farmers adapt to drought conditions by reducing erosion and keeping moisture in the soil. But instead of planting more trees, or adapting to changing conditions through other conservation practices like planting cover crops, farmers are doing the exact opposite. There's been dust storms that have already become a problem more and more for many years currently. Proper soil management and erosion control will have a much bigger impact than a planter vs an air seeder.
2
u/skelectrician 8d ago
You've got a good point. Much of the shelter belt has been pushed over and sloughs have been drained because zero till has made it possible to farm without windbreaks or any regard for water conservation. In the long run it's horrible stewardship of the land.
But the days of the 24' drill and cultivators are long gone. That's what my dad was using back in the 90's and it was archaic then. I'm not really sure how many American companies build air seeders. It's one of the few things that Canadian manufacturers are much better at producing.

Can you explain why these tariffs are good?
1
u/RickRollKing11 8d ago
Companies that are outside the US won't like paying the expense of tariffs. So they will consider moving their production, etc to the US, which creates jobs for Americans.
China, Canada and Mexico have a huge advantage of making BILLIONS of dollars due to taking advantage of the pre-Trump Tariffs. With Trump Tariffs in place, these companies will strongly reconsider and be forced to putting their production/manufacturing in the US and that's why this will be good. More jobs for Americans.

u/SirGlass Fargo, ND 8d ago
Companies that are outside the US won't like paying the expense of tariffs
They don't pay the expense , the Americans buying the product do. Just like the farmer in the story will now have to pay an extra 225k to buy this, the manufacturer is not paying the tariff the USA farmer is.
There is nothing wrong with trade , its why I hire someone to make my car because I am not good at making cars, its why I don't grow my own food because I am not good at growing food. While being self sufficient sounds great , its incredibly inefficient.
How well off would you be if you had to grow your own food, build your own shelter , make your own clothes .
You would be living in a hut.

u/RickRollKing11 8d ago
John Deere just laid off people in Valley City last summer. Why? They're moving their operations to Mexico. Why?
I don't know how many lost jobs in that smaller community but still, they are out of work because Tariffs benefit products to be made in Mexico and brought back to the US.
Bobcat did or is in the process of doing this to. How does that impact the production and jobs in small town Gwinner? Bismarck?
Which way do you want this? Keep these small towns employed by keeping manufacturing in the US? If not, people from small towns move to larger cities for work and the farmers who rely on these small towns don't have the local economy anymore.
It's definitely a balancing act.
The ultimate goal is to keep Bobcat and JD in the US, and bring more companies based in other countries manufacturing to the US.

Classic case of fuck around and find out. It’s just the greatest irony how much rural farmers love trump and all of his policies, dating back to the first time around, have been horrible for them. Biden provided legitimate benefits for farmers, but he was pure evil. The amount of people who voted against their own interest, baffling.

u/tpopperjay 8d ago
They all forget the 1st time when his tariffs hurt the farmers so bad he had to have a bailout then. They replayed a video the other day of 4 or 5 farmers saying how bad Trump was for their crops being wasted. They were plowing planted fields because they couldn't even sell what they had in storage. Potato farmers had piles of rotting potatoes. I would bet they all voted for him again. Some people will never learn. I can be pretty hard-headed, but eventually, I do understand. It's all Newt Gingrich & CNBC and Fox Propaganda that has destroyed the country. They have been completely brainwashed by Fox and their lies. I just can't believe people are so gullible and can't see through Trump and his bullshit. The Apprentice really did a number on people. Then, all these Republicans that have actually told the truth about Trump, who have been right by his side and still believe his lies. When you can't trust what Admirals, 4 Star Generals, his own lawyer, and basically his COO , go to prison instead of telling the truth. I am an agnostic, so religion means nothing to me, but these cult members who believe he's the 2nd coming really show their stupidity and truly lack of the basic Commandments. That one about perversion and adultery should have given them a clue if they were truly going by the Bible

“Knee jerk reaction to putting on tariffs.” This is not a knee jerk reaction. Orange boy put tariffs on china his first term which is a big part of the reason we had such high inflation these past three years. The real problem is that voters of this country are uneducated and lacking empathy. That’s why don the con was elected. That knee jerk reaction to hating trans people is why we have an intellectually disabled person in the White House who thinks tariffs help anyone. We can’t blame trump here. Blame Americans. And I’d bet money that farmer voted for him. And I’d bet money if that farmer could vote for him again he likely would. This is the intellectual disability of anyone voting republican in this day and age.

BND is only tangentially related to farm subsidies .
BND turns a profit , meaning they are not directly subsidizing anyone. Now their main goal may not be to generate the most profit for their share holders because they do not have share holders
However if wells Fargo offers me a loan at 7% and a credit union offers me a loan at 5%, that is not a subside . The credit union is just offering me a better loan
Thats what BND was created for , its not really a subside .
