    The people that hire a ton of immigrants unerringly vote for the guy who promises to remove immigrants. What did you think was going to happen?

      They were told that it would just be the criminals and gang members, and they were stupid enough to believe it.

        Some? Maybe

        Mostly it is just that their hate and selfishness overrides everything. It is the same reason that pro gun republicans still won overwhelmingly after the massacre in Uvalde and farmers keep voting for republicans no matter how much they get screwed over. Because as long as they can believe someone else is suffering more, they are happy.

          I think you vastly overestimate how informed these people are on anything related to politics. Most of them don’t think any further than, “vote red because that’s what I was raised to do.”

      My favorite bit of the story:

      “People don’t understand that if we don’t get more labor, our cows don’t get milked and our crops don’t get picked,” said Tim Wood, a dairy farmer and a member of the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau board of directors.

      Oh, I do understand. I think it’s your farmers that don’t understand, when it’s time to vote.

        What a kwinkidink considering this:

        JD Vance gets rich by owning an app (acretrader) that helps investors outside of the United States snap up real estate deals (including many family farms and rental properties) that are then owned by people who have never and will never see those places and who ONLY own those places to obtain money and power in our country.

        Damn, if only there was something in a program, maybe some sort of… project that would have warned them about it.

      They blamed it on “spoiled Americans”.

      They’re blaming this on liberals and “people don’t want to work anymore” again. Because they’re fucking mentally lazy and broken.

        And the capability to empathize instead of just raw dogging every experience like it’s a brand new thing that nobody could ever imagine or understand.

      Here’s the thing: they aren’t asking for a reversal of the policy, they just want a fix to the problem. A solution that the criminal-industrial slave complex can provide…

        “Arbeit macht frei” will soon adorn the farms that benefit from whatever solution this admin provides.
