Republicans No show as Wisconsin Farmers Complain of Trump's Chaos

Seven western Wisconsin Republican lawmakers did not appear at an event hosted by the Wisconsin Farmers Union in Chippewa Falls Friday as farmers from the area said they were concerned about the effect that President Donald Trump's first month in office is having on their livelihoods.

Hiding from voters is a very bad look.
Hiding from voters and letting them know it's because you're terrified of them?

Alright farmers, WHAT'S YOUR NEXT MOVE?

Farmers voted for Trumpf. FAFO. And here's their Republican leadership. They don't like the "Find Out" portion.

Doesn't matter. We are a russian style dictatorship now. Thanks to republican immorality. The people can whine all they want. It's too late.

They voted for this, enjoy.

"The Republicans have always had a challenge that they were the party of wealthy Americans and business. The problem is wealthy Americans will always be a very small minority of Americans. So for wealthy Americans, they have to convince at least some nonwealthy Americans to support their platform. How do you do that? Well, you do it with issues of identity, their sense of threat, their sense of fear, their sense of the world is changing and "I'm being left behind." It's very effective."

These people are your people. They voted for Trump.

MAGA are cold-hearted bastards.

I told YOU that as soon as any fellow MAGA started bleeding because of Trump you'd turn and eat them.

Once again, I hope that you get your share of this Hell.

A pig such as yourself won't possibly survive it.

I will say that your reactionary defensiveness does betray a sense of vestigal shame.

That won't substitute for character, but it's something.

#19 | Posted by Zed at 2025-02-24 03:56 PM

Zed,

LGH routinely tells people to kill themselves and engages in the most cretinous language and behavior on this site. I'm civil and polite a fair amount of the time and when I'm not it's usually in response to someone getting ------ with me (much of the time I let it slide).

People are often judged by who they make company with. If you want to make company with that toad it says a lot about you.

Does the government give oil companies taxpayer dollars? I didn't know this, how much of the federal budget is given to oil companies, do they need to apply?

#21 | Posted by oneironaut at 2025-02-24 05:34 PM

-Does that apply to oil companies too?

let's back up to the farmers.

how much of the federal budget is devoted to subsidies for farmers?

#22 | Posted by eberly at 2025-02-24 05:36 PM

In 2022, fossil fuel subsidies in the United States totaled $757 billion, according to the International Monetary Fund.

Annually.

You wont find that information on twitter, because Elon Musk is subsidized by our tax dollars to the tune of 8 million dollars a day. To build cars that drive into the water or catch fire, and rockets that explode instead of land.

#23 | Posted by Alexandrite at 2025-02-24 05:41 PM

I forgot to mention starlink, Elon's internet he plays keep-away with for political reasons.

And he charges people start-up kits in disaster zones too. Scumbag.

#21 | Posted by oneironaut

Its funny that you'll sit here and spout opinions all day as if anyone should listen to you, then you reveal you aren't aware that oil is subsidized. That level of ignorance means you shouldnt be listened to about anything.

He's the worlds richest man. Does he really need the 50 bucks from people who lost their home?

He makes 8 million dollars A DAY of our money in government subsidies FFS.

God, your false equivalencies have reached peak stupidity.

#28 | Posted by Alexandrite at 2025-02-24 07:13 PM

Any farmer who votes Republican is as stupid as the stereotype.

Especially after the first Trump administration. They got screwed then, and they voted for No Lube this time.

Profiles in courage.

They know these morons will vote for them anyways.

The best were the interviews of the ones who are now crying about USAid being shut down which hurts them personally after voting for sh*tler because they thought "he would hurt only people they didn't like". Modern christians right there.

Their tears are delicious.

If you voted for someone because they would "hurt people" I got a big "--- YOU" for you.

Then he makes a big production about how generous he is.

When you do charity, leave the camera at home.

OK. When I help people I do it for free.

I don't charge for that.

#36 | Posted by Alexandrite at 2025-02-25 06:36 PM

I help people all of the time for free. But it doesn't cost me out of pocket to do so, except when I'm donating to a charity.
