I read a story maybe 2 months ago where farmers in Idaho had everyone they hired on their farm deported from an ICE raid. Without cheap labor, they were forced to sell their farm. The farm owners said they realized it was trumps policies that did this.

There was a different story involving a family owned lumbermill. It had been family run for over a century. It wasn't ICE raids, but some other new policy trump enacted.

In both cases, they were trump voters. Full on maga. They admitted it was trumps fault. They also said they'd vote for him again.

When your racism trumps your livelihood and generational legacy.

Right, and we'll be seeing more and more of this happening as Trump continues to destroy the economy.

Like that braniac Argentine that can't pay her bills and plans on voting Milei. I had a conversation today with a client who is extremely naïve, poor, and entitled, but one thing we agree, all these people on the Hill and in positions of influence promoting them are probably drugged out of the galaxy.
