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
Guess who he will vote for next election. Nothing like repeatedly jamming a stick in your spokes.
Yeah, because Vermont had so many issues at the Canafian border… and “gangbangers” are such a big problem in rural areas lol
GET FUCKED.
And the guy says he’d still vote for trump too
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.
Allow me to introduce you to most religion.
Is a religion not just a cult that really took off?
The difference between a religion and a cult is there is no longer someone in a religion that knows it’s all BS.
ROFL
Indeed, once it takes hold, it does its thing on its own like a virus.
Seems legit
It’s all by design
“Not my undocumented immigrants, though.”
still gonna be funny when this quote is the hook for the next big country song
edit - maybe someone should have been paying more attention to those rich men north of richmond :S
Tiger eats face.
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.
Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump
Maybe if he just offers the leopards a little more face…
The tears are seasoning
its time for lions, and hyenas to eat your face.
ALmost selfaware wolves.
You have to be a unique kind of stupid to profit from illegal labour and vote to have illegals deported.
Most of the crime from illegal migrants is from farm labourers, they should certainly have expected them to be targeted.
It seems to me that most of the crime comes from inside of the White House.

Do you think its from university graduates ?
Pretty sure this guy is a criminal.
Yea but like that one trans athlete won a race and the bitch that finished 5th was blonde so like, cant have that
She didn’t even win the race. She placed 1 position higher than the woman who freaked out.
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.
Not unique, unfortunately, but very common.
You could hire Americans at living wage…
Oh no, I said the ‘other’ quiet part out loud.
Yeah, “the locals don’t want to do this kind of work” at the wages I pay them.
It would drive up the cost of milk and milk products like baby formula, which is a hardship for poor families, but of course the government COULD step up more on WIC, because we know the GOP cares so much about babies and children!
Thinking now, I wonder how much of the American milk supply is bought by Nestlé. I bet there’s a way they could eat the extra cost and still make a profit, just not an obscene profit.
Globally nestle got about 6.6 million tonnes of milk in 2016. If they were producing as their own country this would get them to ~27th place. The US (#2 behind India) produced over 100 million tonnes of milk in 2022. So probably 3-5% of US milk supply goes to Nestle.
Unless they’re regulated to do so no company will ever eat a cost instead of making more profit.
And obscene profit while destroying poor families is kind of their brand.
In fact, I’m pretty sure they’d destroy families even if it wouldn’t bring extra profit.
have the day you voted for
Is “Oh, exploitable” still a thing?
I stole this. Flipped colors, pegged background color to white, foreground to pure black. This is now suitable for printing on plain paper without wasting a ton of ink or toner:
It’s only 1280 pixels wide but it looks pretty nice laser printed with 4 to a sheet of 8.5x11 paper.
thank you, kind internet friend
These dipshits got screwed during his last term. They couldn’t have had a better example of exactly what he was going to do.
they forgot it because, fox purposely bombards with so much other culture war bs they moved onto the next big panic. anyone who watchs any form of right wing media, besides fox: includes JRE, any of the grifters podcasts or the propaganda networks is unlikely to seek outside those bubbles for info. i know someone that recently bought YE’s slippers, or crocs. and he believed YE was just faking being a nazi supporter.
What was wrong with the border? The farmer is a racist or a sheep. Sounds like both.
Fixing the border… You mean… The thing that statistics clearly show was being fixed by the Democrats?
Just hire Americans
Boo fuckin hoo.
You also voted to milk cows alone at 4 a.m. you lazy mouth-breathing imbeciles. Enjoy.
Oh no! Are they having the day they voted for?
Trump made you a better, harder working person. That’s not good?
The farmer will not work more. He will pay more for workers and sell food for more.
It will rise prices for everybody. Which is good, because cheap prices came from essentially slavery.
