It's important to remember that these people were lied to on every issue except immigration. They come by their anger honestly, and y'all are going to need those votes in 2026 if you want any hope of changing anything.

It’s not like they’re ever going to change voting for him. At this point, why care?

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Because they actually might. These economic conditions are threatening their very survival.

So don't let schadenfreude make you stupid.

He did the exact same thing to farmers in his last term and the still voted for him again.

Sorta? It wasn't nearly as bad as this and he got subsidies for them.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

LOL no they won't. When they get to the ballot box, a lifetime of being a Republican will prevent them from voting for anyone else. Regardless of everything else, they're still a Republican voter and Republican voters never vote Democrat no matter what. They'll lick a boot before they vote Democrat.

Plenty of conservatives loath Trump. They won't vote for him, but they'll stay home before voting D.

Then they’ll go out of business and their farm will be bought by a big corporation. Congratulations on getting what you voted for, I guess

We were all lied to. They need to take the blame for believing any of this BS. Seriously. How far can your head fit inside your own ass to believe a fucking word from this administration? Ugh. I'd agree with you about votes if I thought there was any chance of a fair election, but the last one wasn't fair, and they are making sure the next ones are less so.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

They don't hear words from the administration. They hear Fox News, see their FaceBook feed and talk to friends and neighbors.

They were lied to on immigration as well. But the problem is they have to realize they were being lied to on the other stuff too.
