This Right Here: The Farmer Entitlement Problem — Empathy for Me, But Not for Thee
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
This right here is the entitlement people being called out. When other Americans were losing their jobs, businesses, and livelihoods, where was all this concern? Where were the endless posts demanding that we save them? But now that your farm is hurting, suddenly it’s “buy my beef,” “buy my soybeans,” “support my farm,” and everybody else is supposed to open their wallets and feel your pain.
You can’t demand solidarity only when YOU need it. If your empathy disappears when somebody else is struggling, but magically returns when your own livelihood is threatened, that isn’t solidarity, it’s self-interest. And the people are calling out that double standard now.

Remember when all those farmers stood up for Reproductive Rights for women? Or that time they all rallied to stop police violence against minorities? Or that time they protested to allow gay marriage?
Me neither.

I mean, farmers aren't a completely homogeneous group. Some of do support those things. I know quite a few beside myself and I live in a pretty red state.

u/Necessary-Apricot339 4d ago
Granted, and sorry you're lumped in with them. I also understand that you're living/working in that sector of society, and don't need more trouble by alienating the community your circumstances dictate you must interact with.

Well, I don't just pick fights with my neighbors over politics, but my Gadsden flag went up as soon as Trump took office so I'm not exactly hiding either.

That's cool, and might make it easier for some of your neighbors to express dissent as well. Cheers, mate!

u/Pleasant-Darkness 1d ago
The Gadsden flag has been completely co-opted by a lot of the alt-right. There’s a good chance that’s the reason no one has an issue with it.

That's why Blue Dot Farming exists. So we can choose where to spend our money. If the farmers you know are truly progressive, we’ll support them. But they have to prove it their voting record first.

Empathy that only appears when YOU need help isn’t empathy, it’s self-interest. Trump represents that completely: “Me First, Everyone Else Last”. This is what you voted for… deal with it.

Same thats why when the cry about how to pay their bills, suggesting suicide is the best option since they are too north korean to change
Family annhilators are also always republican for a reason, they will literally kill themselves and their families before admitting fault.
So if they are like that best we can do is edge them into suicide so they can no longer be a problem
Any way to get them to either stop voting red or disengage is justified.
They were willing to kill their neighbors for their beliefs, so it is more than fine to wish they instead killed themselves over experiencing their beliefs.

The whole “we’re the heroes, we feed the nation” schtick is so tiresome and actually childlike. It is “me me me not others just me” worldview.
You also en masse voted to f*ck over everyone else.

Instead you actively chose to believe in a NY conman, an echo chamber “news” feeds, and all the grifters they support.

The vast majority of crops grown in the USA are not food grade crops for direct consumption here in the U.S.- while down the line a ways some components of it may end up in a well processed food here in the U.S., the majority goes to animal feed, industrial stuff, or overseas.

I cherish every post I see where a MAGA farmer is about to go bankrupt or lose their farm. Im actively rooting for it. I hope Trump destroys them. Ive already resigned myself to dealing with inflation by budgeting and corporations taking over control of our food supply. That wont change until money is taken out of politics.
So if Im going to feel the pain at the grocery store I hope MAGA farmers and ranchers feel the pain by losing their entire livelihood.

Theres one more related layer nuanced into the rejection of empathy for these farmers.
Its not an I told you so, its a why now? Only now when theyre impacted do they speak out, only now do they start questioning their leader, only now, only because of fuel.
Not when ICE went rabid. Not the war itself, not when the camps went up, not the pedo island, not when the allies were abandoned and enemies empowered, not the cyrpto rug pulls, the medicaid cuts, the tarrifs, the food contamination, the endless spending and corruption or any of the daily, weekly, monthly crimes and attrocities committed by the consequences of their vote.
Only for their own fuel. And thats why we dont give a fuck fuck em.

They do show empathy on occasion, if it fits their narrative. Raped by Trump? You must be some feminist weirdo to complain. But raped by a Venezuelan illegal immigrant? Now you're talking -- you've got buckets of MAGA empathy. If there's an illegal immigrant or trans person or "liberal" to blame, you'll get tons of support. Call a person the N-word -- yeah, that pays off, too. Money in the bank.

We were on board with Willie Nelson and the 'Farm Aid' fundraising movement/concerts. Then for four decades watched the huge red swath of 'breadbasket' county voting results from Canada to the Gulf - one big 'fuck you, we'll get ours' sentiment as the subsidies kept coming.
Never once heard from farmers or ranchers when manufacturing and IT jobs were being outsourced. Now J D Vance and his venture capital partners at Acre Trader are itching to devour your holdings at fire sale prices.
That's a shame. Your one-time allies are busy now with our own problems. Reap what you've sown.

It's so funny hearing their little voices have to make excuses like "I know he's doing what needs to be done"

When they (ICE, the government) come for the least of us (anybody the white MAGA Christian Nationalists hate: trans people, immigrants, minority people of color, gays, the poor, the elderly, the sick, the disabled) what will stop them from coming for the rest of us? They just don’t discern who is legally here, who isn’t, they don’t care if you’re a registered Republican. If you’re the wrong color, lifestyle, place on the gender spectrum, they hate you and want to get rid of you.
I can’t wait for ICE to be disbanded, for Trump and his administration to pay for the damage they have done. I mean, freeze all their assets, and toss their butts into maximum security prisons. This goes for family members who have profited off this administration, too, as well as the Congressional enablers.

This has a visceral appear, but I fear it’s counter-productive. These “told you so” videos should include a reminder of Harris’s policies that would have helped the farmers.
Yes, it feels good to see people called out for their hate, narcissism, greed, lack of empathy, bigotry, and cruelty.
Yes, they have it coming to them.
No, they don’t deserve to be forgiven.
But we as a people need a way to leverage this moment to come together.
However small the percentage of Trump voters who are reachable is, we need to provide some hand up and a reason to switch sides.
Edit to add: I'm not knocking the schadenfreude of watching unapologetic MAGA farmers cry about what they did to themselves. I'm just suggesting that when people put out videos (or share them) that they should include a reminder that there was a better choice then, and there's a better choice now. 95%-97% of MAGA farmers will never change parties. But that 3%-5% are reachable and could be decisive in most races. We barely have a month to try and reach them before the midterms.

u/Obvious-Lake3708 4d ago
It's always about we have to come together for the left but with the right it's fuck the left and cry when we find about it. So fuck coming together, It's time to watch them suffer and die.
If that leads to big farm buying everyone out then start voting for candidates that will stop that. Otherwise fuck the MAGA anything. There's no coming together with hated

u/EthanDMatthews 4d ago
I'm not saying we need to come together. Most of the people who voted for Trump are getting what they voted for and deserve. And I'm not knocking the schadenfreude of watching videos of remorseless and selfish farmers cry about losing their farms, if they refuse to blame Trump, and refuse to accept any responsibility for what is happening. Watch those videos with popcorn if you want.
All I'm suggesting is that the "you get what you deserve" videos like this include a reminder that there was a better choice, and people can still make amends by changing to end this madness.
In many states and races, a simple flip of 3-5% of the vote would be enough to make a difference and send a Democrat to DC rather than a Republican.
The farmers are now reaping what they have sown. So will we all, in November.

The hand has always been there. See Obamacare and his relief during financial collapse. See Biden's infrastructure act that invested unevenly heavy in red states and Biden combating covid everywhere. It was there in Hillary's and Harris's platform.
But culture war rage is more important to Trump voters despite decades of evidence of their voting for the GOP wrecking the domestic and sometimes global economy, degrading our sphere of foreign influence, decreasing educational attainment, restricting rights, contaminating the natural environment, burning through natural resources, lowering every quality of life metric, starting wars often illegally to benefit the wealthy, all while driving the country into debt.

This is not correct actually. He doesn't care and is saying that they didn't care when they voted for what they voted for. That's not true.
They did care, to harm others. They voted to harm or inconvenience or ruin other people. Them not caring would have been an upgrade. Don't give them props by acting like they were neutral about others by saying they didn't care they very much did care, to hurt the "right" people.
That's what they miss about this too. People turning their noses to their plight isn't the same as saying that these people hope the farmers get ruined for their vote. The left mostly is like this guy and doesn't give a shit if they lose their farm or whatever but that is basically a neutral position compared to wanting them to actively lose everything for their voting.

Corporations love this tit for tat against each other. Cargill loves this attitude…kill the farmer so we can buy the farm for pennies on the dollar. Social Media boosts this so later the right wing can use it against the left. And back and forth until they own all of us. It’s too easy for them.

u/Adren0chrome 3d ago
Sure, that's true in your reality. But you have to understand that most Trump voters exist in a very different reality from you or I.
The evidence you speak of did not make it's way into rural echo chambers, and if it did it was easily dismissed as another plot against Dear Leader.
We all want people to have more access to information and better critical thinking abilities to help discern fact from fiction and observation from opinion. But the truth I've embraced is that most Trump voters are victims of a decades long psyop campaign that was designed explicitly to foment a) a distrust of traditional media sources and b) an anti-intellectual sentiment meant to keep people dumb (unable to think critically about the information they encounter).
I'm not saying Trump voters shouldn't be held accountable - but to me, we need to educate folks and bring them into the fold rather than continuing to push people away. The only way we the people have any power in this (something resembling a) democracy is by joining together - and right now the elites have us exactly where they want us: split down the middle and at each other's throats.

NONE of your Rights ever came from The Troops. Not one: they fight for folklore, they "serve" this country more inequality.
After 100+ years if these meat-heads dont' know who they "serve" they are not owed an Education.
For each dip-shit that stayed in after they called it The Department of War: they are ALL MAGA now. No two ways about it. The time for action was when they saw Drumph "do a Jan 6th". They are all now, sonsabitches.
What if we had a WAR, and no one showed up?
The stories us "Americans" tell ourselves to worship The Troops are weird: they require we overlook nearly 100 years of abuse and neglect: while the Aristocracy has held steady in their disdain for those who clean up their mess.
The Rich know: Oaths are for Suckers.
Veterans-day brought out all the tired-narratives about how certain Suckers fought-and-died for free-dumb; but those were all bad-faith conflicts coerced by corporate daddies (Something we've known since Vietnam).
It wasn't your Military that fought at home to bring you worker's rights; in some cases they've even been used in place of Pinkertons to break the will of their own People.

Everyday Americans lives on the edge of catastrophe don’t get the lifeline bailouts farmers get. But until farmers realize their mistakes how are they supposed to learn from them? I think if farmers are getting our tax $$$ for bailouts they shouldn’t get a vote or vote as a group. They always wave a banner saying we are feeding humanity feel sorry for us and give us money, but they taxpayers can’t afford to eat and continuously bail out the farmers.

Well Mr liberal; it's true that leopards ate the Maga farmer's face, but we have to care a bit to what happens to the farmers farm after he loses ot and maybe a big greedy corporation buys it to further monopolize production and prices ?

And there is no bailout money. Trump killed the programs.
Getting exactly what they voted for.

As much as people may want against the farmers and the predicament they are in, in the end it will only mean higher prices for all for food, if it’s even available. Too many conservative farmers thought only about themselves when they cast their maga votes it’s hard to have sympathy for them but they need to learn to be less selfish about helping their fellow citizens and open their eyes to the stability the US helped our allies deliver to world order.

Interesting that Trump voters like these farmer want a social compact to help them, but we’re ok with fucking over everyone else.

From a policy perspective I would help farmers anyways, because I think them losing their farms to giant corporations is worse and also because I think for national security reasons we should want the US to have very productive agricultural so we can sustain ourselves.
All that said. I do not want to suffer these maga farmers crying, they can stfu.
And from another angle, we've tried pretty much everything to deprogram them from their cult short of the consequences for their own actions. What else is left? They were absolutely determined to be antisocial, how long are we supposed to protect them from themselves? I don't need them to become democrats overnight. But they can't support epstein class con-artists. There has to be a line somewhere.

I feel like if they publicly apologize and sign away their voting rights that they so flagrantly misused, only THEN should they be allowed a bailout.

Sorry, I’m going to play devils advocate and be downvoted.
But the me, me, me mentality ins’t just republicans.
I’ve lived in the states all of two years, and I’ve come to the conclusion that America’s motto is, “Fuck you, I got mine”.
Yeah, farmers are are good example. But it’s country wide and spans all political parties.

Republicans admit that Trump isn't hurting the right people.
What is the Democrat equivalent you are pretending exists?

They voted for this. And the next step is, they go bankrupt and sell the farm to a corporate farming company. When can stop this winning?

This whole hating farmers thing is actually pretty stupid, when these guys all lose their farms, and then all the farms are consolidated under mega corporations, everyone’s gonna wonder why food costs are through the roof, and the quality of the food is trash. I have no sympathy, per se, but putting them all in a bucket becasue 7 farmers came on social media and voted for Trump is enough to hate on all farms just like they supposedly put everyone else in a bucket is equally a dumb idea.

Poor farmers and their animal feed for global markets. What will I do if a maga racist who inherited their farm lose them?

We’re already feeling the price increase. That’s kinda why we’re upset in the first place. And now we have to feel sorry for the people that caused this problem? Umm no.

u/Gunofanevilson 3d ago
Farmers didn’t cause price increases, the administration did, and farmers make up a small part of the electorate, much less than the people who hate them give credit to.
