The vast majority of cattle ranchers voted for the MAGA shitheads. I have sympathy for the cattle suffering from the screwworm and wish they could stampede the shit out of the ranchers.
even getting screwed over they stll believed he will bail them out.
"I wonder who put that dick up my ass" -Conservatives/republicans after getting fucked by their own administration
Pretty sure its just family and local ranchers getting fucked. Isnt this just the same as Walmart taking advantage of every economic downturn to kill competition or buy them out?
Those family and local ranchers shouldn’t have voted for trump if they didn’t want leopards to eat their face.
They voted for this and are reaping what they sow, a principle they understand well.
Zero sympathy.
They voted for the only party that reached out to them. What did you expect? Another huge failure for the democrat party.
The only party that “reached out” to me was MAGA. I didn’t vote for trump because I used my brain to determine who to vote for.
Why didn’t they?
Did you not vote at all, or did you vote for the democrats who ignored you?
The Republicans are selling everything that's not nailed down and crashing the US Economy. They could care less about worms and land or whatever.
