Farmers going into debt and their businesses closing was one of the early harbingers of the Great Depression.

 

i can't handle another great depression, i'm already in the midst of my own.

I have absolutely zero sympathy for them. I don’t care what that says about me. 

You all chose this. TWICE. 

Enjoy. 

I bet they don't even blame Trump for this anyway, they probably just prayed and went back home.

Definitely not a cult

Good, I hope it severely negatively impacts them. They willingly voted to strip the rights and protections of many marginalized groups of people JUST SO THEY COUKD HAVE A BIT MORE MONEY IN THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS, they deserve the worst.

And those people had more than enough information available to them letting them know that his administration would be disastrous for the economy. 

Willfully dumb people don't deserve grace for their willful dumbness. 

No they are victims of an increasingly aggressive misinformation campaign by foreign and domestic powers designed to turn them against you and you against them and everyone on this thread who laughs and sits back smug is arguably falling for the same campaign and are too dumb to see it. That's why we're ****ed, you all are losing your god damn humanity and think you're too smart to fall for the same tricks when you are, you're playing right into their hands

Am I supposed to feel sorry?

Very sad situation. I know people will make jokes but many people voted for Trump purely because they wanted a better economy (as misguided as they were about that). 

More importantly ppl over generalize. While States like this are Trump leaning, it doesnt mean everyone is. I doubt that entire room was purely only Trump supporters

Although there is truth to your statement about misinformation campaigns and polarization from all sides, I feel like I am over people infantilizing people who vote for Republicans. 

I grew up around conservatives my whole life and the defining characteristics are being WILLFULLY ignorant, hate minorities (of all kinds), and are incapable of caring about issues until it affects them personally. 

These people voted to ruin OTHER people’s lives (Immigrants, LGBT), and to benefit from the suffering of others.

Now that they are starting to see it’s not going as planned they are begging for help. 

If I have lost my humanity because I feel nothing for these people, then so be it. 

We all had a choice at the polls.

I'm not laughing at them but I'm certainly not gonna coddle their hurt feelings after a lot of them voted for this exact thing to happen. I want everyone to prosper, have job security and Healthcare, etc... but I'm not crying for them just like I'm not crying for people who regret cutting their own bangs. 

They held the scissors 🤷🏽‍♀️

We all got the same info/misinfo/disinfo and statistically those rural farmers were among the crowd that ignored the countless economic professionals to vote for the decades-long conman's explicitly hateful, shortsighted rhetoric. 

Not sure how that adds up to me playing into anyone's hands.

I appreciate your response and honestly everything in my fibre wants to agree with you because it's often the only reasonable response, I also don't live in the US so its probably easier for me to say all this. I just feel like the nail in the coffin is turning your back on these people. Society cannot function if everyone hates their neighbour yet that's what I see both sides doing.

You probably wasn't the right person to quote but it just felt like the whole thread was cackling watching people feel like they have no where to turn except god because they fear for their livelihood. Its a sad sight to see

Understood. I understand the schaudenfreude and don't blame people for being amused by people realizing they dug their own graves, but if the farmers fail then we're all worse off. So I also get why others like you aren't appreciating the sh*tshow. 

Strange to see people praying against the very thing they voted to let happen though. Reminds me of those republican town halls a few years ago praying for school safety as they rolled back gun regulations.
