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
It’s strange. I live in rural VT and whenever i bike around you see Trump signs on a lot of farm fields. But then you read the newspaper and you read about ICE detaining legal employees at farms and the farmers being upset about it.
I genuinely don’t understand.
Complete and dangerous lack of education and critical thought in any capacity
Lies about brown people are their favorite, they can’t resist. They’ll believe anything you tell them as long as it’s bad.
Someone was bound to figure that out and start doing it (40 years ago)
Sounds like he just incriminated himself from his own illegal business practices, lock him up!
“We voted for trump…” = you deserve whatever you get
And the drugs is still happening anyway and those gangbangers were locals anyways so yeah, congratulations 🎉
Didn’t Trump let in family members of some Mexican drug cartels?
Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump…
Then he gets what he gets. I don’t feel a damn bit sorry for someone that stupid.
Thoughts and prayers
“I didn’t think the leopards would eat MY face :(”
Thoughts & prayers, idiots.
“I hate black people unless they work on my plantation” - GOP voters
It’s hilarious because it’s the same shit as Brexit. At its core it’s racist policies that amount to “we don’t like brown people”. Sometimes you need to watch the house burn for people to learn.
Sometimes it feels like being happy that Trumpers are suffering is like cheering when a disease dies with the host. It’s a momentary happiness that the Balrog fell… milliseconds before you realize it’s pulling you down with it.
Nah, not like that at all. More like having the tiniest drop of schadenfreud when the idiot bus driver finally realizes they fell asleep on the job again and we’re about to go off the cliff. Much better when the idiots responsible for this mess realize it than not.
The problem here is those farmers will now want to charge more. Even though their labor cost just went down.
The US can just import more food!
Oh, wait.
unless they need to hire someone qualified to handle their administrative duties.
LOL. If they had been smart they wouldn’t have voted for trump.
no one is saying they are smart
“I voted to get kicked in the balls and I must say that I was shocked when I got kicked in the balls.”
Yeah, that’s too bad. ANYWAY . . .
So you are… Checks notes 2200 miles away from the border. I feel like even if we disregard them voting for trump and just judge them based on that being their main voting issue, they’re dumb as fuck, aren’t they?
No he’s near the Canadian border, which he was told was a major route for fentanyl.
The guy is worried about gangs, yet lives in rural Vermont. What a fucking idiot.
Idiot, or extreme coward?
… ok you got me, it’s both.
It is kinda crazy how easy it seems to convince people the safest time in American history is the most dangerous.
Never understimate the power of bigotry as a political motivator, in particular among the uneducated. Trump and his oligarch cronies certainly doesn’t.
