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

There is no we about it, the majority of farmers are Democrats.

Anecdote. I own a seasonal nursery. All of my customers that I've personally met are farmers in the Southeast US. Sample size is around 200 farmers. All of them but one supported this dumpster fire & the one that didn't, sold her farm because she hated it in Florida & somewhat ironically bought an orchard in Vermont.

I tried to find some data to back my claim up, but it's been pretty difficult. Conflicting sources on both sides.

Then are you sure you should be claiming and repeating it?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Yes because I believe it to be true.

good on you for calling yourself out.

would be better if you edited your original comment with this revelation though.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Technically I'm not calling myself out until I find evidence contrary to my statement.
