Once those pesky family farmers have been driven off of their land, the richest and most powerful can swoop in and buy up farmland at fire-sale prices.

Then they can increasingly monopolize the production of food. People can pay or starve. Their choice...

they'll be taken care of as per normal. I live in a rural area of West MI and all the dairy farmers and fruit farmers LOVE Troover. Just drive by their farms and look at the flags they fly to prove it. I feel NO sympathy for them. He's their guy and always has been. Let them rot.

Will make great tents to live in once they loose their farms. Of course the new owners will rent the houses out to people with money while the previous owners live out in the back lot by the creek and work the land for minimum wage and no benefits.

Am I a bad person for having this fantasy?

The GOP will happily spread our tax dollars around to make it look like they support their base.
