That’s a big HELL NO from me. These are the same folks who likely voted for him; they need to reap what was sown.
they already did this with soybeans, they never recovered since china found other sources for thier soybean addiction.
Nice.
They will get helped, just watch. That is the point of all these blanket tariffs, hurt everyone and then make exceptions for their supporters and friends.
I honestly don't think they will get help this time. JD Vance is invested in AcreTrader and what's a better way to buy thousand's of acres for pennies on the dollar than to bankrupt farmers?
Exceptions for anyone willing to owe the turnip. It’s all a shakedown game for personal allegiance, power accumulation, “ I’m winning”
I'm torn. On the one hand, you are right. It does seem to be a MAGA voter constant that they don't see the evil of their actions until the feel the consequences personally. On the other hand, we Americans all need to eat, and we now cannot painlessly import our food.
hungry constituents will pressure their representatives to revoke the tariffs.
That sounds great until you start having food shortages.
Let’s fucking go.
They made this bed for all of us. Time to sleep in it. We’ve got rice ‘n beans. We can grow potatoes and raise chickens.
If they feel the pain, they may change their ways. If they’re kid-gloved away from the consequences of their own choices, they most certainly will not.
Out of curiosity have you ever tried to grow enough rice and beans to feed yourself? Since you're so confident maybe you should give it a try this year. I'm sure it'll be very gratifying to boast about how you grew most of the calories you ate in 2026.
I think the concept is that the US produces significant amounts of rice and beans. Most of our corn goes to feed.
If we give up meat we could probably produce enough rice corn and beans to feed the US, but shortages and greed along the way will definitely drive the price up to unmanageable highs.
In southern climates it's not that hard to tend an acre garden, But it certainly not convenient or time efficient, and anybody who's not familiar is not going to be able to manage.
I've done hydroponic tomatoes and greens, I don't think I could feed a family of four out of my basement but I could definitely put a big dent in starvation.
depends which states source thier food, tropical food comes from south of the border anyways, and from asia.
