24. As long as brown and black people suffer more, they are happy

Racism and sexism drive so.much.of this.

Of course, many of the farmers think that the repukes will bail them out from tariffs bankruptcy again. But this time all the money going to the rich.

They are do stupid that they don't realize that NAFTA free trade allowed them to sell pork and corn in Mexico like never before. Green energy subsidies for Ethanol allowed them to sell crap tons of corn.

But the vulture capitalists will be happy to consolidate 90 percent of the remaining small farms into mega corporate plantation with basically serfs
