re: #227 Anymouse 🌹

The issue is how many farmers interviewed felt that way, and how much film was left on the cutting room floor of farmers saying “He’s ruining us, get that jerk out of there.”

After the most recent “Farmers love Trump despite the obvious evidence he’s financially destroying them” article, I started to wonder about that as well. Not gonna lie: the Cletus hunt stories reinforce my bias towards Trump supporters being similar to turkeys staring at the rain and drowning themselves.* That said, I’m really beginning to wonder if there’s more Trump hatred in the farmland than the media is letting on.

I also go back to something you said during 2016, in which you claimed the farmers in your area were so deranged about Clinton, they were vowing to let their lands go fallow and somehow starve out the rest of the country. I didn’t buy into it at the time (who’d be crazy enough to endanger their kids’ lives because Trump wasn’t elected); now, I’m not so sure.

*I know that’s an urban legend.
