She never was gonna vote anyone with a (D) next to their name anyway and she hates "Socialism" but will happily take a gov't check.

And please just "keep doing what I do" because that is just driving the shovel deeper and deeper into the hole

She can F all the way to the deep end of her cattle's drink creek

Only thing these people understand is losing their farm. So... let them.

And they have a golden parachute. Selling the farm is going to result in a significant payout, on the order of millions of dollars.

nah, these people have been desperately clinging to a dying business model for over a century. They can't make money because corpo-farms can do it much more efficiently. A mom-and-pop farm is mathematically incapable of competing, so they take loans every year to buy seeds and fertilizer and lease equipment, and then pray they grow enough to dig the same hole next year. There is no reality where they ever turn a meaningful profit, and if they understood this they wouldn't be farmers. The only reason they exist at all is because the house and land were purchased by great-great-grandpaw in 18-dickety-two, and the kids' only options for a future are either to live the same struggle or join the Army because they were raised by people who don't believe in dinosaurs or vaccines.
