When I finished last night's "R+R" I was content with writing about the "Plight" of American Farmers who voted for trump and now must "SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES" . They "made their bed" and now they must "lie in it" . I have no Sympathy . You want to Believe that after the first trump term, where his policies TERMINATED China as GLOBAL Customer, that these Farmers would have learned and as a result DENIED trump their votes . We know, THEY DID NOT LEARN and instead DOUBLED their support for him .
Many of the hardest hit Farmers grew soy to sell to China . These Farmers SPECIALIZED in ONE crop , and have MILLIONS invested in farm machinery that can be used only for this one crop . They did NOT seek to DE-Specialize , I mean, realistically how could they ? But , TECHNICALLY, their >rigidity of thinking< prevented them from de-centralizing, from planting different crops to neutralize the effects of trump's brainless Tariff-ism* . Where the Oedipal Complex NEEDED to be considered, = to KILL one's father, they chose to ACCEPT trump as a father that "could do no wrong" .
I shouldn't be gloating, for gloating is DYS-Honorable . Still ... . Things are what they are, and these Farmers are what THEY "are" .
