by election day? tariffs on ag commodities? no, they didn't know.....and if you're going to argue they did....cite it and show where a single democrat tried to use it.
Again, why does your position hinge on Dems and not the threats/promises from Trump that Trump is acting on?
His own Agenda 47 website said it quite clearly:
2. Enforce Immigration Laws
Republicans will strengthen ICE, increase penalties for illegal entry and overstaying Visas, and reinstate "Remain in
Mexico" and other Policies that helped reduce Illegal Immigration by historic lows in President Trump's first term. We will
also invoke the Alien Enemies Act to remove all known or suspected gang members, drug dealers, or cartel members from
the United States, ending the scourge of Illegal Alien gang violence once and for all. We will bring back the Travel Ban, and
use Title 42 to end the child trafficking crisis by returning all trafficked children to their families in their Home Countries
immediately.
3. Begin Largest Deportation Program in American History
President Trump and Republicans will reverse the Democrats' destructive Open Borders Policies that have allowed criminal
gangs and Illegal Aliens from around the World to roam the United States without consequences. The Republican Party is
committed to sending Illegal Aliens back home and removing those who have violated our Laws.
And
1. Rebalance Trade
Our Trade deficit in goods has grown to over $1 Trillion Dollars a year. Republicans will support baseline Tariffs on Foreign
made goods, pass the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act, and respond to unfair Trading practices. As Tariffs on Foreign Producers
go up, Taxes on American Workers, Families, and Businesses can come down.
2. Secure Strategic Independence from China
Republicans will revoke China's Most Favored Nation status, phase out imports of essential goods, and stop China from
buying American Real Estate and Industries.
What, those actions weren't going to have consequences and they were going to just keep selling to China as if everything was normal?
Foreign aid cuts, another huge market/buyer for US produced food stuffs, was a constant target during Trump's first administration.

You seem to think that arguing farmers didn't know better is a good angle. It's not.
