For 20 years, Tim O’Harrow has asked lawmakers to acknowledge that America’s food supply depends on immigrants. Politics went in the other direction.
“Come on! I know I joined the immigrant-hating party but I didn’t think they were going to hurt my form of immigrant exploitation! Indentured servants and slaves, people! Not deportation!”
They really thought it was about gangs of criminal immigrants roaming the streets with impunity in Democratic-run cities.
This is just the definition of stupidity. How can you spend two decades voting for people that are actively working against you?
Racism
and government handouts. If the government will bail you out no matter how badly you fuck up, it’s pretty easy to ignore shitty policies.
A key problem here is that capitalism creates a boom and bust cycle, where with agriculture that means feast and famine. And famine is really undesirable. So we had a set of policies designed to ensure constant overproduction of food, with support for the farmers to make that possible.
We are of course facing a global food shortage come fall due to the fertilizer stranded during planting season by the Iran war, and the new policy is to burn as much food as possible.
BUT he’s Still VERY HAPPY because Trans Kids are ALSO being Targeted and THATS what’s Important!
Imagine that…
The party that has been screaming about hating and wanting to deport everyone for literal decades actually tries to do that…and you thought supporting them wouldn’t hurt your livelihood, which depended on those immigrants.“Today, a man lacking the ability to think critically is SHOCKED to learn the leopards he voted for are now eating his face. Now over to Tom with the weekend’s weather forecast.”
