(53,239 posts)37. Same thing here.
I know a couple small farmers who will get hurt. They may even lose their farms without subsidies. But this has been going on for decades. They vote for republicans because the media tells them Democrats are the problem. Maybe this will wake them up.
Of course this will also help the larger corporate farms. They can come in and swallow up the dying farms. So while it may shift voter preferences away from Drumpf, it will only worsen the corporate stranglehold on our food production. Not to mention their impact on the environment.
