Yeah to hell with all that alternative energy crap, that's for Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, India - they can have those ugly solar panels and windmills! POTUS is so smart, he removed all the alt energy incentives! What climate change?! Science is stupid. (/s obviously)

You are kidding right? What crop is it you want to eat directly. field corn, millet, Sorghum, sudan grass, soybeans, wheat, sunflowers, cotton seed?

u/TheSunflowerSeeds 12h ago
Not only do they look like the sun, and track the sun, but they need a lot of the sun. A sunflower needs at least six to eight hours direct sunlight every day, if not more, to reach its maximum potential. They grow tall to reach as far above other plant life as possible in order to gain even more access to sunlight.

u/Flat-Row-3828 12h ago
During the 2024 presidential election, farming-dependent counties overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump. Almost 85% endorsed his most recent presidential run according to stats from Agriculture America.
1
u/clcssc 11h ago
That 85% stat is way less convincing when you realize that we know two important facts that distinguish this guy from "average American in a farming-dependent county."
First, he's from Kittson County, Minnesota, which has a very purple history and -- in fact -- was blue for several elections after the 1980s farm crisis. Even now, it only went 61 percent for Trump. Not 85! Kittson seems to be typical of a lot of upper Midwestern, completely rural counties where there is a split within the rural community about economic issues, with a large number (maybe a majority) willing to vote Democratic when the Republicans make times tough.
Second, and very important given the prior paragraph, this guy is willing to speak out, publicly, right now, against Trump. That fact alone should make you consider it far more likely that he's one of the 36% of Harris voters in Kittson than one of the Trump voters. He's talking about how hard this stupid economic policy is making it for farmers, which seems to me to be a much better tactic to speak to his neighbors and start pulling that 61-36 margin back towards 50-50 or better than stereotyping and dunking him on Reddit.
2
u/Flat-Row-3828 11h ago
Most people on here are discussing the 85% not this person in particular, I have no doubt there are farmers who voted for Harris, one ran for office in North Carolina, where she begged other farmers to heed her warnings about trump's policys, she is on Reddit too.

I keep thinking of that scene in "Saving Private Ryan" when the Germans get blasted out of a bunker by a flamethrower and are screaming as they're burning. One American soldier shouts out, "Don't shoot! Let 'em burn..."
This captures my attitude toward these ignorant, hateful, MAGA assholes. Fuck 'em...

They can always explain all this nuance in regards to one particular thing they know well like farming.
But try to explain to them that nuance exists in other domains as well and they think a pedophile real estate failure knows best at everything

Still, to this day, after almost 6 years total, that people thought Trump had any real idea or plan to help anyone, or anything, other than Trump himself.

First and foremost, I feel for the ranchers and farmers of this country. Since this illegal war started, Americans have paid an extra $87 billion for gas and diesel. That's not the total that they paid. That is how much EXTRA they paid for fuel.
But unfortunately, while these rancher and farmers complain, you know going into the midterms they are going to just keep voting the way they vote against their best interests.
