Machia voted for Trump, drawn by promises of border control and national security. “We didn’t want drugs or gangbangers,” he said. But what he didn’t expect was losing some of his most dedicated employees to immigration arrests.

“It’s scaring the farming community,” Machia admitted. “We didn’t think they’d come for the people who help us milk cows.”

LOL. Idiots

"We voted for racism, not poverty and hard work! We don't want these jobs - they're for the spi... I mean for those people." --MAGA.

You have to be a unique kind of stupid to profit from illegal labour and vote to have illegals deported.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 116 points 1 day ago

Not unique, unfortunately, but very common.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 70 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To be fair, they have been targeted very precisely with a military psychological operation that is explicitly geared to striking fear into the vulnerable and building poor political choices off of that fear.

Yes, they're incredibly arrogant, violent, and stupid, but MAGA (and it's prequel; Brexit) works off of fear and not much else. Maybe if they really like country music I guess that could be a thing. Or flags. It sure as hell doesn't work off of reason or logic, obviously.

Nah, farmers would vote for Satan if he had a GOP endorsement.

“It’s scaring the farming community,” Machia admitted. “We didn’t think they’d come for the people who help us milk cows.”

You're the cow now, Trump milks these rubes who don't care what he says or does until it affects them.

This article is focusing on the wrong issue, forget the "woe-is-me-poor-farmer" BS. The real tragedy is the countless workers, ya know the ones that ACTUALLY do the labor that are jobless for justifiable fear of being called a terrorist invader and get a trip to an El Salvadorian prison.

Boo hoo, the workers you were exploiting can't work. Too fucking bad. Do it yourself at 4 AM, it's quite literally and explicitly what you voted for.

Is America finally great again ya fuck?

[–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I agree with you about what the real issue is. That said, this kind of article is important. Remember that MAGA can't empathize with someone unless they identify with that person. To MAGA, the struggles of immigrants are unimportant so focusing on them is targeting the wrong audience if we want to change minds. Highlighting the struggles of people MAGA can identify with might actually be able to change some minds.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 25 points 20 hours ago

Dude, the guy in the interview said he would vote for trump again anyway, no amount of identification will help those kind of people.

Just hope they have the day they voted for, and bless their heart.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 13 points 20 hours ago

The UK did the same thing just a few years ago and got the same results. The farmers and conservatives complained about it in the same words and tone. People were saying this exact scenario would happen in the USA. That's all dismissed as fear mongering and they voted for it anyway, getting the same results and complaining in the same way. It's stupidity playing on repeat.

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago

They can't empathize with people period. Even when it's one of their own. This will not trigger empathy in any other magas.

Guess who he will vote for next election. Nothing like repeatedly jamming a stick in your spokes.

[–] 0li0li@lemmy.world 152 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Yeah, because Vermont had so many issues at the Canafian border... and "gangbangers" are such a big problem in rural areas lol

GET FUCKED.

[–] ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 79 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

They have imagined a threat (there isn't one) so they can imagine they are in danger or persecuted (they aren't), so they can imagine they deserve a savior (they don't), who they imagine Donald Trump to be (he most definitely isn't one).

I'd say it's a cult, but I doubt most cults even require this level of mental gymnastics.

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Allow me to introduce you to most religion.

[–] Sterling@lemm.ee 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is a religion not just a cult that really took off?

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

The difference between a religion and a cult is there is no longer someone in a religion that knows it's all BS.

Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump

Maybe if he just offers the leopards a little more face....

Leopards! Leopards!

Nom Nom Nom!

Eat their noses

Bite their toeses

Nom Nom Nom!

Gooooo, LEOPARDS!

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago

Fuck this guy and his farm.

May you have the life you voted for.

Knowingly using undocumented workers, complaining about not having a visa program to continue taking advantage of migrants he degrades, and would still vote Trump, too. I hope they get bird flu from a big face full of cow mucus.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 61 points 1 day ago

what did they think .. wait. yeah. they’re not capable of thinking.

What was wrong with the border? The farmer is a racist or a sheep. Sounds like both.
