Most of us don't remember how the China tariffs in 2019 affected the export pork market and cratered hog farmers. And trumpty plumpty obviously doesn't.

But I know some hog farmers in Northern Iowa who have never forgotten. As soon as trumpty plumpty started talking China tariffs again their hackles went up.

They may be rural, but they ain't rubes.

They understand how this shit works.

But Trump also cut them checks to “offset losses”. The farmers haven’t forgotten that they got their welfare checks. That’s why Iowa is not in play anymore. They ain’t rubes is right, especially when cashing their checks.

I brought up the impact on farmers when Trump first rolled out tariffs as his grand solution and how freaking pissed they were with hos screwed his last set of tariffs worked for them. I was stunned that he would revisit such an obviously stupid idea. But watching Trump prove over and over that he doesn't even fundamentally know, or care, who actually pays for those tariffs just proves every day that he is truly ignorant. A high schooler can explain to him accurately why they are a dumb idea destined for failure and guaranteed not to achieve what he claims they will achieve.

trumpty plumpty wrote them short term checks, and many of them needed the checks.

But if you can't win back market share, the checks are a short term fix. And it was noted.

It's hilarious that you think Trump isn't "being controlled" by wealthy donors and billionaires. I mean, you just shared a tweet by one of them and didn't even laugh at the absurdity of it.

If Trump and musk were part of the corrupt establishment, they wouldn't so desperately want to stop them and want you to hate them. Trump and musk are both literally and figuratively risking their lives to stand against the system.

I know it's hard for people to admit they've been duped, but you have to deep down be realizing that the dems are not the good guys in this election

The good guys aren't the ones they try to remove their political opponent from the ballot. And they certainly don't try to kill him

Dims are panicky because they know they are going to get their asses beat mercilessly. Real Americans are sick of this crap and are going to send a resounding message on Election Day. The self-loathing soy boy woke dupes are going to be in for a rude awakening, and I will be laughing all the way.
So..... To YOU, someone such as Henry Luke, born just outside of Lincoln Nebraska, who's parents owned a cattle farm, who went to a public grade school and high school, who volunteered at his local hospital, who was an Altar Boy, who went to the University of Nebraska and earned a degree in Engineering, who decided to go in to the Army to serve his country, who then married his college sweetheart, who bought a home in the Lincoln area, who raised a boy and girl (that both went on to have military careers), who after serving in the Army worked on developing an Agricultural Research and Development Center near Lincoln, who then after retirement, came out of retirement to help head the American Red Cross of Nebraska, who donated a kidney to a fellow veteran, who in his Senior years volunteers in a homeless shelter and delivers meals to other senior citizens, and has been a Democrat his entire life, is NOT a "Real American" because he isn't "sick of this crap", but someone such as Johnny Fuckwad, who is a member of the Proud Boys, has been arrested numerous times for inciting racial violence, who sells benzos to Junior High School kids, who beats his wife and molests his daughter, and wears a MAGA every day and has a Trump bumpersticker on his truck, IS a "Real American" to you because he is "sick of this crap"? Hmmmm. Interesting.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that this "Johnny Fuckwad" character you are referencing is not a real person.
Would you believe, only the names have been changed - to protect the guilty?
To be honest and clarify, both of the people I wrote about are a figment of my imagination so indeed, neither are "Real Americans".

I do believe there are both Henry Luke/s and Johnny Fuckwad/s who exist as "Real Americans" in this country. Which one is more "Real American"? I can't decide.
Unfortunately, right now I feel there are way too many Johnny Fuckwads and not (never) enough Henry Lukes.

Rainbows I'm sorry you have nothing better to do than to go digging stuff up on a message board.

What's funny is that he didn't have anyone specific when he made up that person but it took me all of 5 seconds to find a real person who perfectly fit the description.

A Cedar Rapids man, who has a tattoo of an extremist group tied to white nationalism, was sentenced this week to 30 years in federal prison for distributing cocaine and illegally possessing firearms, including machine guns and a pipe bomb.

Court documents showed Burkhow's social media and tattoos indicated he was a member of the Proud Boys, which federal authorities have described as an 'extremist group with ties to white nationalism.”
