3. Reminder: Tr*mp's vote share in farming communities was 77% in 2024,

and that was after he caused China to turn to South America for soybeans with his "easy to win" tariff-based "trade war" in his first term, knowingly sabotaging the large Chinese market that American farmers had been cultivating for decades and had come to depend on.

China isn't fucking stupid. They made plans for what to do when The Dotard predictably ran the same play again. China orders fell to literally zero dollars per quarter in mid-2025, without any panic or hardship, because they were prepared to walk away from American sources entirely.

If farmers voted for The Dotard after that first term debacle, they will continue to vote for him/his ilk after this, no matter how bad it gets. They will go to the poor house and/or their graves saying "but Harris/Biden/Clinton/Democrats would have been worse."
