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?

Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump, the recent crackdown has prompted a deeper reckoning within his community
Umm, okay, no sympathy then. Burn.
Imagine being so dedicated to a politician/political party that you’re no willing to make a change that costs you 0$ to save your family business
This is exactly when the interviewer should have looked right in their eyes and said "so you didn't learn a goddammit thing" then "enjoy your udders" then left.
These maga fuckers deserve all the worst
"We voted for racism, not poverty and hard work! We don't want these jobs - they're for the spi... I mean for those people." --MAGA.
oh no, you lost access to the people you were viciously exploiting because of your racism?
well boo fucking hoo

Guess who he will vote for next election. Nothing like repeatedly jamming a stick in your spokes.
At least you guys are getting a parade for his birthday. That should be fun.
May you have the life you voted for.
Leopards! Leopards!
Nom Nom Nom!
Eat their noses
Bite their toeses
Nom Nom Nom!
Gooooo, LEOPARDS!
Fuck this guy and his farm.
“It’s scaring the farming community,” Machia admitted. “We didn’t think they’d come for the people who help us milk cows.”
You're the cow now, Trump milks these rubes who don't care what he says or does until it affects them.
This article is focusing on the wrong issue, forget the "woe-is-me-poor-farmer" BS. The real tragedy is the countless workers, ya know the ones that ACTUALLY do the labor that are jobless for justifiable fear of being called a terrorist invader and get a trip to an El Salvadorian prison.
Boo hoo, the workers you were exploiting can't work. Too fucking bad. Do it yourself at 4 AM, it's quite literally and explicitly what you voted for.
Is America finally great again ya fuck?
I agree with you about what the real issue is. That said, this kind of article is important. Remember that MAGA can't empathize with someone unless they identify with that person. To MAGA, the struggles of immigrants are unimportant so focusing on them is targeting the wrong audience if we want to change minds. Highlighting the struggles of people MAGA can identify with might actually be able to change some minds.
Dude, the guy in the interview said he would vote for trump again anyway, no amount of identification will help those kind of people.
Just hope they have the day they voted for, and bless their heart.
The UK did the same thing just a few years ago and got the same results. The farmers and conservatives complained about it in the same words and tone. People were saying this exact scenario would happen in the USA. That's all dismissed as fear mongering and they voted for it anyway, getting the same results and complaining in the same way. It's stupidity playing on repeat.
They can't empathize with people period. Even when it's one of their own. This will not trigger empathy in any other magas.
You're right and I hate it

More Americans need to watch The Grapes of Wrath.
You have to be a unique kind of stupid to profit from illegal labour and vote to have illegals deported.
Yea but like that one trans athlete won a race and the bitch that finished 5th was blonde so like, cant have that
To be fair, they have been targeted very precisely with a military psychological operation that is explicitly geared to striking fear into the vulnerable and building poor political choices off of that fear.
Yes, they're incredibly arrogant, violent, and stupid, but MAGA (and it's prequel; Brexit) works off of fear and not much else. Maybe if they really like country music I guess that could be a thing. Or flags. It sure as hell doesn't work off of reason or logic, obviously.
Nah, farmers would vote for Satan if he had a GOP endorsement.
Not unique, unfortunately, but very common.

Yeah, because Vermont had so many issues at the Canafian border... and "gangbangers" are such a big problem in rural areas lol
GET FUCKED.
They have imagined a threat (there isn't one) so they can imagine they are in danger or persecuted (they aren't), so they can imagine they deserve a savior (they don't), who they imagine Donald Trump to be (he most definitely isn't one).
I'd say it's a cult, but I doubt most cults even require this level of mental gymnastics.
Allow me to introduce you to most religion.

What was wrong with the border? The farmer is a racist or a sheep. Sounds like both.
Fixing the border... You mean... The thing that statistics clearly show was being fixed by the Democrats?
Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump

So did this Make America Great Again?
Trump made you a better, harder working person. That’s not good?
The farmer will not work more. He will pay more for workers and sell food for more.
It will rise prices for everybody. Which is good, because cheap prices came from essentially slavery.
Boo fuckin hoo.
You also voted to milk cows alone at 4 a.m. you lazy mouth-breathing imbeciles. Enjoy.
Knowingly using undocumented workers, complaining about not having a visa program to continue taking advantage of migrants he degrades, and would still vote Trump, too. I hope they get bird flu from a big face full of cow mucus.
what did they think .. wait. yeah. they’re not capable of thinking.
