Being from the heartland, the breadbasket, Middle America, "real America" gives me a perspective I dont necessarily believe nor want. The agriculture perspective. The perspective that farmers are the saddest most disrespected folks on earth. The salt of the earth. Solid Republicans.
Well with the Fraud in Chief running the show, the sad farmers are about to get defrauded again. Oh it wont change anything in the way they vote but its going to hurt because the Chinese, who understand America a whole lot better than that talking orange pile of shit in the White House.
Trump's proposed trade war with a nation who owns our debt, a nation that relies on slave labor, is a folly unseen in many moons. The Chinese not only know who to hammer, they know why, something the Economic Imbecile in Chief doesnt get. The Chinese know who supports the Talking Sweet Potato in Chief. The aforementioned breadbasket. And they will make the Republican voting Aggies pay by slapping tariffs on soybeans, corn, sorghum, pork and wheat in effect forcing farm communities to really really think about who they vote for in 2018 or 2020 right before they vote for the R guy.
The story of this proposed idiotic 19th century solution to a non problem has many farmers around these parts a bit upset. I saw one express such concern that he actually thought Trump had "behind the scenes" negotiations going on and all would be fine. So of course it wasnt Trumps fault this tariff shit was on the horizon, it was the media's fault for reporting it without telling us all about the secret "negotiations".
So despite Senator Ben Sasse (Fake Intellectual-Ne) calling Trump "half nuts" over this dumbass tariff nonsense (he will just go back to DC and do whatever McConnell tells him to do anyway), Heartland farmers are still solidly in the corner of their Cult Leader in Chief.
Perhaps one of these days these salt of the earth types will abandon the despise the minorities at all costs mentality and realize that a guy from Queens doesnt know shit about anything west of Teaneck and wise up. Wise up and vote for people who are in their corner.
Yeah Yeah Im not holding my breath. After all, a caravan of browns is coming to invade. If they get past the National Guard and make it to the Midwest, well by gawd, the salt of the earth types may have to put down the shotgun and hire them all to work in the fields all the while clamoring for that stupid fucking Wall.
Oh hypocrisy. It's the Midwest way. China gets that real good.
