    “A majority of Farmers are not nor have they ever been partisan.”

    I don’t know about that, there’s a lot of LeopardsEatingFaces about farmers lately. And according to https://investigatemidwest.org/2024/11/13/trump-election-farming-counties-trade-war/ , of the 444 farming-dependent counties, Trump won all but 11 counties, average of 78% of the vote. And given the reliance on labor and the previous Trump administration saying they’re apolitical seems… incorrect.

      Love how you stopped reading when you read something you disagreed with.

      I never said they weren’t Republicans, I said such below that. Farmers will vote for whomever helps keep their way of life alive. Period. You may want to read the entire post.

        Fair enough. I just think that someone voting for whomever they think will help them, will do JUST A LITTLE critical thinking.

        Sigh. But that’s where we are now. I get voting for your self interest. But Jeeze.
