๐จ THE ULTIMATE CONSERVATIVE HYPOCRISY EXPOSED ๐จ
Red state farmers who spent decades voting against government assistance are now BEGGING for bailouts after their own votes destroyed their livelihoods. This isn't just political irony - it's economic suicide on a massive scale.
๐ฅ THE BRUTAL REALITY:
- Farm bankruptcies UP 55% in 2024
- 181 Chapter 12 farm bankruptcies filed in just 6 months of 2025
- Record $561.8 BILLION in farm debt
- Indiana: Record soybean harvest, ZERO buyers
- John Deere: $600 million in tariff costs, hundreds of layoffs
- Iowa: 30% jump in farm equipment auctions
๐ธ THE CONSERVATIVE CONTRADICTION:
These are the same farmers who:
- Voted for tariffs that destroyed their markets
- Criticized urban food stamp recipients
- Opposed government assistance programs
- Now demand agricultural welfare to survive
๐ THE DEVASTATING NUMBERS:
- China bought $12.6B in US soybeans in 2024
- China bought $0 in US soybeans in 2025
- Equipment costs UP 60% in 8 years
- Corn farmers facing $180/acre losses in 2026
- 6,000+ acres of Iowa farmland up for auction in September alone
most farmers are millionaires and their fellow petite bourgeois are going to fare a lot better than the rest of us.
