I'm trying to give you some perspective.

And I'm telling you that their perspective doesn't sound like it's going to convince me otherwise that they're not idiots.
why are you dismissing "wasn't well defined" as nothing. Do you even realize that you're asking a group of voters to make a pretty big change?
Change from what? Their usual voting habit in response to stated plans that would be massively damaging to their industry? Again, you're not making an argument to change the prevailing opinion.
Your perspective seems to be their "demise" was imminent because Trump ragged on illegal immigration.
Oh Jesus Christ you really do think they're stupid. Or maybe you're equally incapable of seeing a step or two down the road.
Their demise was imminent if Trump was elected because he clearly stated he was going to gut their labor force and destroy their markets. Literally all of this was pointed out as obvious ramifications of electing Trump. Multiple times.
what was the alternative? What differences did farmers expect to get from democrats should they choose to vote that way?
Not losing their farm within a year of casting their vote.
For all I know...democrats were out in those red states saying the same things as trump

So you make decisions where what isn't said is weighed as equally as what is said? Amazing you've made it this far...
JPW seems to think they should be voting against Trump for HIS reasons....not their own.

No, they should have voted against Trump because his stated policies would do exactly what they've done to their industry.
They, like so many others, just assumed the pain and misery of their chosen policies would be experienced by others and they would be untouched.
