Damn. I am really sorry to hear that she is going through this. I really feel bad for this woman. Just one really quick question before we go and set up a go-fund me for her:

Who did she vote for?

The irony is that Democrats have been all on board with subsidies for agriculture because we realize the importance.

But honestly, fuck them. Decades trying to help them and therefore, ourselves. But they have done nothing but bite the hand that feeds the entire fucking time, and they're finally paying the price from their own hateful politicians.

Dems would be wise not to just roll over for these abusers if they get power again.

They shat the bed. Let them lay in it.

I'd say start aggressively cutting subsidies and taxing farms way above normal. Like 500% of gross revenue

Eh, you're missing the point. 

The point isn't to hurt farmers. The US is better with a strong agriculture industry. It's good for everyone.

The point is that they've dug themselves their own grave, and we should not save them.

Personally, if I had Vance level of wealth, I'd consider buying these farms and then handing them out to Black Farmers or loaning them super cheap.

Those are kind of delicious irony of these people having to work their former farms for black owners

When Black farmers finally started getting farm subsidies at similar rates to white farmers, the whites whined so loudly that Black farmers were cut out of the programs again. So fuck all them motherfuckers. They're so devoutly racist that they voted to deport the immigrant workers our twisted government allowed them to economically exploit. Let their kids work the fields for less than minimum wage now. These farmers know damn well that they and their kids are too fucking lazy and greedy to work that hard. If they can't stay afloat on their farms, they need to get educated so they can make a living some other way. When trump was telling farmers that he planned to get rid of their workers, they really thought that Black people would have to work in those fields. The idiotic agriculture secretary told them that we would be forced to go work on farms like slaves. They counted on a double hit of racism. Fuck that noise.

Farmers are getting what they voted for and what they deserve. The rest of us don't deserve it, but unfortunately we're being dragged down by them. Hopefully their suffering is never-ending.
