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

You're the cow now, Trump milks these rubes who don't care what he says or does until it affects them.

This article is focusing on the wrong issue, forget the "woe-is-me-poor-farmer" BS. The real tragedy is the countless workers, ya know the ones that ACTUALLY do the labor that are jobless for justifiable fear of being called a terrorist invader and get a trip to an El Salvadorian prison.

Boo hoo, the workers you were exploiting can't work. Too fucking bad. Do it yourself at 4 AM, it's quite literally and explicitly what you voted for.

Is America finally great again ya fuck?

What was wrong with the border? The farmer is a racist or a sheep. Sounds like both.

Just hire Americans

These dipshits got screwed during his last term. They couldn't have had a better example of exactly what he was going to do.

have the day you voted for

You could hire Americans at living wage...

Oh no, I said the 'other' quiet part out loud.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, "the locals don't want to do this kind of work" at the wages I pay them.

It would drive up the cost of milk and milk products like baby formula, which is a hardship for poor families, but of course the government COULD step up more on WIC, because we know the GOP cares so much about babies and children!

Thinking now, I wonder how much of the American milk supply is bought by Nestlé. I bet there's a way they could eat the extra cost and still make a profit, just not an obscene profit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Globally nestle got about 6.6 million tonnes of milk in 2016. If they were producing as their own country this would get them to ~27th place. The US (#2 behind India) produced over 100 million tonnes of milk in 2022. So probably 3-5% of US milk supply goes to Nestle.

Unless they're regulated to do so no company will ever eat a cost instead of making more profit.

You have to be a unique kind of stupid to profit from illegal labour and vote to have illegals deported.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To be fair, they have been targeted very precisely with a military psychological operation that is explicitly geared to striking fear into the vulnerable and building poor political choices off of that fear.

Yes, they're incredibly arrogant, violent, and stupid, but MAGA (and it's prequel; Brexit) works off of fear and not much else. Maybe if they really like country music I guess that could be a thing. Or flags. It sure as hell doesn't work off of reason or logic, obviously.

Not unique, unfortunately, but very common.

Yeah, because Vermont had so many issues at the Canafian border... and "gangbangers" are such a big problem in rural areas lol

GET FUCKED.

[–] [email protected] 78 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

They have imagined a threat (there isn't one) so they can imagine they are in danger or persecuted (they aren't), so they can imagine they deserve a savior (they don't), who they imagine Donald Trump to be (he most definitely isn't one).

I'd say it's a cult, but I doubt most cults even require this level of mental gymnastics.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

It's all by design

Allow me to introduce you to most religion.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Is a religion not just a cult that really took off?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Seems legit

Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump

Maybe if he just offers the leopards a little more face....

Knowingly using undocumented workers, complaining about not having a visa program to continue taking advantage of migrants he degrades, and would still vote Trump, too. I hope they get bird flu from a big face full of cow mucus.
