‘We Voted for Trump to Fix the Border. Now We’re Milking Cows Alone at 4 A.M.’ – Vermont Farmers Face Harsh Reality as ICE Raids Hit Home

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

…b-b-but i didn't mean the ones that work for ME!

What is thesarkariform.com? Is this a real journalistic source? Let's be better then the maga idiots.
- Even the Bing "AI" label it as crap. Putting the name in quotes on ddg gives 1 result, and it's not the website. Its mediabiasfactcheck.com, which calls it quiestionable. And it didn't exist a couple of years ago. All the articles are written by "Ethan Brooks" or just the site name.
  
  mediabiasfactcheck.com is crap though

Just hire American citizens instead, then.
Oh wait, you say that would cost more? Sounds like you're a loser deserves to go out of business, then!
- Actual outcome: huge farming conglomerate uses robots instead.
- This is literally what Trump would tell them too haha.

Here's the problem. The person complaining about Trump's admin policies and carrying out these arrests ... Yeah that person says they would still vote for Trump.
So, what the fuck are you supposed to do? That's like someone complaining about inviting a person over that ended up stabbing them but saying they would still invite them back.
Ok ... So I guess if logic is completely out of the picture how are we supposed to get anywhere with anyone that voted for Trump? It's like they watch the consequences of their decision, complain about the consequences then queue up to repeat the same decision.
- Stop using logic and start using mockery.
  How else is one supposed to react to such pathetic sycophants?
  
  Schadenfreude is the BEST freude.
  
  Mockery doesn’t win over any new people to your cause and makes even more people dig their heels in even deeper.
  It feels great but it’s counterproductive.
- Thats why it's a cult, people get so invested they can't turn around.
  
  They would have to face their own failure and ego when acknowledging their mistake.

“It’s scaring the farming community,” Machia admitted. “We didn’t think they’d come for the people who help us milk cows.”
"We didn't think the leopards would eat our faces!"
- A d then they will be forced to raise wages to attract people and then prices go up and everyone will be shocked that food inflation spirals again.
  I believed Trump when he said the egg prices would go down.and that foreigners would pay the tariffs.

Racism is harmful to everyone including the racists

“Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump”. We are all screwed. This person is directly negatively impacted by the person he voted for and complaining but vote for additional negative consequences moving forward…which they will also complain about.
- “Replacing your whole crew every few months isn’t realistic,” said Machia. “It takes time to train people, and locals just don’t want to do this work anymore.”
  But he'd do it all over again. Cults are wild.
  
  locals just don’t want to do this work anymore.”
  They would if you paid reasonable wages and weren't a shitty person to work for.

So did he have drugs and gangs on his farm? Or did Trump just tell him it was a problem and he believed it?
- He had drugs and gangs on his teevee and he got real confused :(

I have a great deal of sympathy for them.
The people who used to milk the cows, that is.

One move could be to move to higher value or lower labour agriculture. Stuff like tomatoes, wheat and root veg can be harvested by machine. Higher value relative to the manual labour put in could be meat production.

WHY WOULDNT YOU THINK THAT?!??
- Stupid fuckers.

Well at least they still have their drugs and gangbangers.
- And their shitty hormone and antibiotic infused milk.

“We didn’t want drugs or gangbangers,”
We thought they'd be arresting n*****s. There. That's what he meant.
- I mean what have naggers done for us anyways
  
  The spoilered word is obviously noodles. Trump is arresting noodles.

I mean, you were afraid of immigrants stealing your jobs. So now you just gotta hire local or get those bootstraps ready! The sun is rising!

Ignorant fuck I hope he loses everything and ends up on the street.

this is what you voted for you fucking MORONS.

No problem.
Just fill the positions with non DEI hires, at the same rate of pay.

Anyway, what's your weather like this weekend?

You voted for him and now you don't want him? We don't really care. It's your problem guys. can't fix it? no one cares but you. 4 years Trump, you got to love it!
