The only reaction I will be giving to any Trump voter who is harmed in any way by Trump’s policies will be to point and laugh whilst encouraging others to do so simultaneously.
My misanthropy is off the fucking charts these days.
For those that say they didn’t vote for this.
YES YOU DID! YES! YOU! DID!
Then maybe, just maybe, you shouldn’t have voted for him. These brain trusts are just too much
I know that when I’m deciding who to vote for, I always pick the candidate who promises to do something that I would consider to be a disaster that affects me directly.
Yeah, but what do you expect him to do? Vote for a DemonRat? They are woke! Also, that might make him gay, because they ran a woman, and it wasn’t even a white woman!
Woke? Woke?! Did someone say woke?! [Randomly starts punching walls, neighbors, own face]
But I wanted to be racist. How can I be both racist and a capitalist at the same time?
Have you tried being a billionaire?
So the farmers will have to pay their workers a liveable wage?
How terrible…
Labor scarcity drives innovation & increases standards of living by driving up the value that workers can demand in exchange for their time. It’s simple economics.
I don’t think it’ll be a free market, unfortunately. They’ll create a sub class of citizens from immigrants wanting the work and it’ll be cheaper than ever.
If they did, the prices for groceries would skyrocket and make Trumps “promise” to bring the prices down completely impossible to achieve.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Trump promise that was actually achievable.
I bet he plans to use prison labor. And to make new laws aimed at incarcerating minorities and the poor.
The distrubing part will be when these American farmers demand foreign workers and get them and basically usher in a new form of modern slavery, where the US willingly allows migrants in as slave labor without rights and treat them as less than human.
That’s already how farm labor and meat packing/prep treat immigrants and immigrant children right now.
I guess it could get Italian bad, remember this? https://www.theguardian.com/media/article/2024/jul/20/satnam-lost-his-arm-and-was-allegedly-left-to-die-on-the-roadside-this-is-the-horror-of-exploitation-on-italian-farms
What the hell is wrong with our world? I’m in Canada and I have to swallow a lot of guilt every time I have to buy vegetables or produce from outside my country. I also feel bad even buying vegetables from my own country because I know what we do and how we produce the majority of our food here. I live in northern Ontario where we can’t really grow our own food in abundance. We get most of our vegetables from the warmer part of the province in southern Ontario. I have family and friends down there in a region called Norfolk and in the summer if you drive around the country roads around there, it is filled with migrant workers walking to and from work. They are from the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Haiti, Jamaica and over the past few years even African. They are paid nothing, given nothing, made to work like dogs and then told to leave when the growing season is over. We use slave or semi-slave or indentured labour so that we can buy and eat cheap food.
It’s reasons like this that I go out of my way as often as I can to buy local produce from a farmer I know and can talk to and can see where the food came from and how it was harvested, collected and brought to me. But in a land of ice and snow, it’s not always easy to find ethical sources of food.
It’s really difficult to say that we have evolved or developed into a modern higher civilization. We behave the same way we did thousands of years ago … we just do it faster, more abundantly, more efficiently and with billions of people.
Jesus what a terrible thing to happen to a loving being.
See: US prison system.
That’s exactly what I’m expecting. They’ll just make a whole lotta new things illegal and jailable then apply the laws in a specific way such that only “particular peoples” are incarcerated and used as prison slaves. We saw this in post-Reconstruction South, during Jim Crow, and over the course of the War on Drugs. My favorite was suddenly people just standing on sidewalks being arrested, charged, and convicted as vagrants then being forced to do legally allowed slave labor for the state under threat of punishment (beatings, torture, solitary confinement). America said “We’re banning slavery (except for this one case)” then immediately said “Let’s increase the number of people who can be exceptions.” This is a re-run. Or better yet, a remake of an old movie or show.
I’m fleeing Texas in the next couple of months because of this and possibly getting caught up in mass deportations even though I’m a citizen. I’m Hispanic, my wife is white. I’m leaving my wife behind because she doesn’t want to go. All I can think is ‘Thank goodness we don’t have kids.’ I’m so lucky I’ve got friends and family in freedom loving states and I feel for those who don’t.
m fleeing Texas in the next couple of months
Come on out to Oregon. All us Cascadia states are probably going to be the last bastion of US democracy after every other state burns down, we have very solid blue majorities here.
I’ll even need a roommate about May…
I know someone who had birth right citizenship who was deported under Obama. The legal costs to flight it and return were just too much, so they’ve made a new life where they are.
They already do that now.
We’re going to end up like fucking Dubai. In all the worst ways.
I’m concerned there won’t be deportation just work camps.
Face, meet leopard!
I got no sympathy for these oopsies trump voters. I hope he loses that fucking farm.
If he does he’ll probably end up hating the Democrats even harder.
Anyone who thinks the agriculture sector is going to be hurt needs their head checked. All this deportation theatre will do is to create a new slave class of people too scared to speak up. Same reason they’ll pass a law stripping people of birth right citizenship
Jokes aside, it’s sorta crazy any migrant settling from a place other than Cuba would take up residence in Florida.
Oh no! Fuckface is going to lose his farm!!
Fuckface is going to lose his farm *to Monsanto… God this timeline is constantly trying to one up its shittiness.
Both fucking suck, but fuckface farm owner, while still tending to be pretty wealthy and have some political sway, is peanuts compared to the absolute monster that is Monsanto.
im looking forward to the leopards face buffet
“Mr.Trump you need to understand us, we just really really like getting into groups and hating the others. It’s our favorite thing to do, just say fuck you liberal, fuck you Mexican, fuck you black person! But we don’t like consequences. So don’t do anything that hurts me! Just hurt everything else!”
