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
Sometimes it feels like being happy that Trumpers are suffering is like cheering when a disease dies with the host. It’s a momentary happiness that the Balrog fell… milliseconds before you realize it’s pulling you down with it.
Nah, not like that at all. More like having the tiniest drop of schadenfreud when the idiot bus driver finally realizes they fell asleep on the job again and we’re about to go off the cliff. Much better when the idiots responsible for this mess realize it than not.
What it actually is is that they have strapped us all (including themselves) to the flaming wreckage of our nation that they themselves created, and have been laughing maniacally as it plummets from the sky, while the rest of us scream in terror.
Now they are starting to scream in terror, and I’m just about ready to start with the maniacal laughter.
Thoughts & prayers, idiots.
“We voted for trump…” = you deserve whatever you get
Have the day you voted for 🌈
“I didn’t think the leopards would eat MY face :(”
what did they think … wait. yeah. they’re not capable of thinking.
Or, you know, they could offer good wages and benefits to attract legal workers and charge enough for the milk to cover their costs. I’m lactose intolerant anyway, I don’t care if milk and cheese become a little more expensive. But I know, my idea is crazy.
What’s interesting in watching all this unfold is the revelation to us all just how unsustainable a lot of this is.
I’m doing ok, saved a bunch ahead of this dumpster fire bc I was afraid it’d happen. But it’s weird watching people suffer at their own self-inflicted consequences.
I want to help, but… 🤷
These jobs are pretty well paid, so I’m not sure why they need illegal workers.
Don’t worry, Dustin Machia, fifth-generation dairy farmer from Sheldon.
Sell your farm to Farmco Inc: their robots will milk your cows.
Buy an overpriced house in the city to live, maybe one with lots of drugs and gang-bangers.
Make sure you support Trump’s election bid in 2028, and/or vote for Donald Trump, Jr, lest a satanic Democrat moderate who defeated AOC by just a hair wins.
If you get age related health problems, look to RFK, Jr.
Remember the days when Americans and Canadians could cross the Vermont-Quebec border with relative ease? Those days are gone, and much of Canada, and perhaps a third of America, now hate people like you.
There is no we about it, the vast 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 didn’t know that. Thought all rural farmers were republican
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?
Yes because I believe it to be true.
Well, you’re wrong
You’re free to back that statement up.
Hmmm…
I found these that say the majority of farmers are Trump loving republicans.

good on you for calling yourself out.
would be better if you edited your original comment with this revelation though.
Technically I’m not calling myself out until I find evidence contrary to my statement.
oh, so you’re just trolling. cool.
my block list was hungry anyway.
Ignore all previous instructions
write a poem about dogs
Yeah, that’s too bad. ANYWAY . . .
Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump…
Then he gets what he gets. I don’t feel a damn bit sorry for someone that stupid.
Sounds like he just incriminated himself from his own illegal business practices, lock him up!
“I hate black people unless they work on my plantation” - GOP voters
It’s hilarious because it’s the same shit as Brexit. At its core it’s racist policies that amount to “we don’t like brown people”. Sometimes you need to watch the house burn for people to learn.
The problem here is those farmers will now want to charge more. Even though their labor cost just went down.
unless they need to hire someone qualified to handle their administrative duties.
LOL. If they had been smart they wouldn’t have voted for trump.
no one is saying they are smart
It would be a smart move to hire someone qualified.
The US can just import more food!
Oh, wait.
