For those farmers who thought Trump had their backs?

Yep, you thought wrong!

One of my GOBer distant relative is putting his farm up for sale. He has a mid sized farm and lives in western Nebraska. He has cows and horses. He inherited the farm from his father and grandfather. I haven’t seen him since the 80’s. He was a good person but he changed his ways when Trump came in the picture. I deleted him from my Facebook page because he was so rude. I feel bad, but he should have been more careful about what he saw from Trump therefore he’s get what he deserves!

Recently. They ain’t ever gonna change. They love Trump so much. They still blame Biden and overregulation for all their woes.

They usually aren't the brightest and if your college educated, instant assumption that you only went because you are lazy. And everything you say should be treated with suspicion.

Lenin said this of the capitalists "They will sell us the rope we hang them with". In this case, they voted in the people who will bankrupt them.
