Full disclosure- I voted for trump. He has done nothing to correct inflation. I thought maybe he would get something done. As farmer I am looking at sub 4 cash form and 6 dollar fuel. Last two items I bought- 10 inch ripper point $422. Can of soup $3.50. Both higher than when he took office. He is beholden to the people of a country that starts with an I and it’s not Iran. Both parties are beholden to that group of people but it’s worth trying something else. I’m fed up with with things and most of my non farm contacts have had it with fuel prices as well. Trump/republicans have been an abject failure the past 2 years. This war with Iran is senseless . Fuel prices did the the republicans in this time. All could have been avoided by not doing the J’s dirty work. There may be some uncomfortable social changes with the blue wave but being angry about drag show story hour isn’t an issue if I can’t afford to feed my grandkids or put gas in the tank to get them there. Many of you farmers think you’re rural elites and you are to some degree in your little s* box towns but you guys don’t mean anything to the wealthy elites that have fleeced the middle class in this country the last two years.
Sorry NAT for the politics.
The true “elites” in this country are agnostic to party and brand. They have claws and strings/leverage to pull from both sides. So, the elites that both parties cater to are 1 in the same. The true middle class (middle 1/3) is shrinking but is beginning to understand the gravity of inaction. Folks voted for change because the republicans had power for the past 2 years. It’s the blue team now- see what they get done |
The Blue Wave.
