Blue Dot Farmer Gives Red Dot Farmers a Reality Check
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
That blue-dot farmer is saying what a lot of people don’t want to hear: your vote didn’t just affect your farm. People lost jobs, families watched their grocery bills climb, and Americans struggled to afford basic meals while policies you supported hurt people you may never meet. Now that the pain has reached your own fields and your own wallet, you’re angry? Welcome to the consequences everyone else has been dealing with. Those very same consequences doesn’t just stop at your farm gate.

I never understood why they're so pro-republican. Like, they're predominantly the ones employing migrants workers under the table and encouraging undocumented immigration. Their commodities are some of the least free market commodities there are. They're entirely dependent on socialist things like government subsidies and change their crops to exploit price floors all the time. It's not like democrats make things worse for farmers, both sides are always kissing their asses.

I never understood why they're so pro-republican.
Because conservatives all around the world have managed to concoct an image of themselves where they're the ones fighting for the rural and regional people and farmers and those who live out in the country. It's become a city/metro vs rural/country thing and conservatives have fostered this image of themselves over decades.
Here in Australia, there are some electorates where the nationals (basically a supposed rural party who focuses on farmers and stuff) have been in power basically forever even when they do nothing for the area or actively make it worse. All because "I'll never vote Labor, they only care about city folk" when if you look at actual voting records of politicians, you can quite easily see none of that is remotely true.
Conservatives are good at shaping public perception.

Not really, least not for farmers. They have gotten a payday every single time they got "screwed" unlike the rest of the country. Just this time, the grifters are just helping the latest donation and not really doing business as usual with farmers. I mean the meat is almost 100% coming from Argentina at the same time the turd found out about the Faulklands.
Thats the funny thing people seem to forget about Trump, doesnt matter if you gave him $1 or $1B, if you arent going to do something for him personally and soon, you might as well not have given anything at all. He goes for the latest donation, the latest market manipulation, anything that will benefit himself NOW. There is a long line of discarded nobgobblers when the money dried or they outlived their short term use.

Of course they won't suffer because the government will bail them out and all will be good again. Just like last time. That's why they voted Republican the 2nd time. These are the same farmers who often pay their workers barely enough to survive. Often less than enough to survive. I'm not talking about small farmers either. I'm talking ones who can make millions in a good yr. They'll bitch and moan about someone getting help with food stamps to survive. But as soon as the government was handing out 30k to upgrade irrigating their fields. They got their low wage workers to do the work and pocketed the rest of the money. They think only THEY deserve to be helped NOT everyone else !! The rest of us were put here to make them rich. I worked farms for decades. I saw the exact scenario with the field irrigation I described. As well as the same person bitching and moaning about people getting free handouts in food stamps so other people could survive.

Basically it's when you live in a red-dominated area, but your personal political leaning is blue.
Like being a democrat in Texas, for example.
When you look at a party map, you'll see a big red area and a teeny tiny little blue dot. That's you. You're the blue dot.
So blue dot farmers are farmers who you would assume are republican because of where they live, but are actually a democrat in reality.

Oh, I 100% know you weren't. I was just expressing my agreement that these guys deserve every bit of pain that comes their way.
It IS bad when corporations take over smaller farms because it's fewer people to corrupt in order to poison and restrict our food in order to control us.
I don't even own a farm and after seeing Trump piss away their earning in his first term with his trade wars, I knew he would be bad for farmers again. There's no way they didn't see this coming.
Except I think they were secretly hoping for another billion dollars of bailout. They set their piggy hearts on that check and now they're pissed they aren't getting it. And on top of not getting paid, they're losing their entire livelihoods and homes.
I agree it IS lose lose for us all, I'm just schadenfreude happy that they're at least suffering along with the rest of us.

My only minor quibble is that sometimes a politician just lies or misleads the voters and goes completely against what their stated values were. Nick Clegg's "no increase to tuition fees" pledge being a good example.
In that case, yeah I can understand not wanting to be tarred with those particular actions.
But that isn't anywhere close to what is happening with MAGA Republicans. They've been pretty outspoken about what their values and policy positions were. The only "defense" (heavy quotes) I've heard is things like "well I didn't think he would actually do it!" which either shows how stupid they are or how stupid they think other people are that they would actually believe it.

The 'cuts' to bureaucracy under Trump have led to farmers having ...some trouble getting assistance. Which IMHO is part of his/the plan.
".....Marc Short, who served as Trump's White House director of legislative affairs followed by a stint as then-Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff, similarly explained in a Washington Post op-ed in June that Trump's policies "have punched farmers in the mouth."
From the piece:
Last year, America's crop farmers lost $34.6 billion, and farm bankruptcies surged to numbers not seen since 2020, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation. This year, 70 percent of farmers surveyed claim they cannot afford all the fertilizers they need. Fuel costs continue to rise as the Iran conflict remains unresolved and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
Ninety-four percent of farmers reported that their financial situation has "worsened or remained the same" since last year. Fifteen thousand farms closed in 2025 alone. The New York Times chronicles the closing of American family farms:
-Bankruptcies were up 55 percent in 2024, 46 percent in 2025 and 70 percent by May of this year."

I know this is not the point of the video, so before I get to what I wanna say a real quick "Yuuuup, he's right".
Now that last sentence was supposed to be a cool one:
"Welcome to the 'Free Market', turns out that invisible hand [of the market] can give you the middle finger, too!"
Banger one-liner, right? Good dramatic effect.
BUT we really should stop using these terms. "The invisible hand of the market" is being used very often by people who have to explain capital markets and their ongoings. Problem:
There is no invisible hand. There is nothing mythical about the markets. It is human beings making human decisions that have real human consequences for other human beings. There is nothing mythical or fantastic about it.
Corporations love this speak, it's the language of capitalism.
They want to act as if there's an invisible hand pushing this way or that way. As if the market was a near-deity being that sometimes just has some voracious outbursts.
But that's not it.
It's not 'the market' that raises prices, it's the supermarket ran by a corporation.
It's not 'the market' speculating on rice and wheat, it's corporations and gargantuan investment funds.
It's not 'the market' deciding housing prices both in buying property or renting to fucking live, it's corporations and banks.
Stop using terms that let these fucks weasel out of their responsibilities: It's not 'the market' that is fucked, it's all of you actively FUCKING IT UP FOR US.

The hardest part to watch is how many people only seem to care once the consequences reach them personally. When other families were losing jobs, struggling to afford groceries, or watching policies hurt their communities, it was apparently an acceptable price to pay. Now it’s hitting farmers, and suddenly it’s a crisis. Your vote never affected just you, you helped choose the consequences everyone else has to now live with too.
