60. Oh, so you want to bail out your friends AND you're appalled?

I'm not assuming anything. Farmers of all sizes vote for republicans and are dedicated trumpists. Sure you can find farmers that aren't trumpists but farmers disproportionately support donald trump. By the way, you didn't say bail out "except for small farmers that aren't racist trump supporting shitheads", you said "small farmers". Trump had a 79% approval rate according to a poll of farmers and ranchers conducted in july. We KNOW that support isn't due to pocketbook issues, since trump is causing so much economic loss for farmers. So what's left that they could agree on? Oh yeah, the white nationalism thing.

Maybe you should confront your small operation farmer buddies about their racial politics, not just their hate of big business, and report back.

ETA: Here's a link to that poll https://www.agweb.com/article/trump-approval-among-farmers-rises-to-79
