    And when it does affect them directly, it's one of:

    • See? The government doesn't work so we need more privatization. Vote Republican to dismantle socialization.
    • This dysfunction happened under a Democratic president who was left with a fucking mess to clean up by the former Republican POTUS, a Republican supermajority SCOTUS, and a divided Congress whose Republicans stonewall meaningful progress. Vote Republican to get the Dems out.
    • It's the (non-white) immigrants' fault probably for stealing my socialist benefits (non-whites in general, but making it about immigration gives me plausible deniability for my obvious racism). Vote Republican to get the immigrants out.

  • The feds are coming for John Deere over the right to repair: The farm equipment giant has fought against letting farmers repair their own equipment for years

    This alone is compelling evidence that the average farmer is substantially more bigoted than the average person. Biofuels I can actually see because biofuels are fucking terrible, but the other four? Nah, blinded by bigotry.

    To be clear, I'm not saying they can't be savvy businesspeople – I absolutely include turning a profit in the part about farming their land. I'm just saying that as a demographic, they're insular bigots who have no real understanding of the broader world.

    Well you know, unless you're Trump, who would defang the FTC and prevent them from taking this sort of pro-consumer action. Then the farmers will vote for you anyway because at the end of the day they're still predominantly bigots who don't know shit about fuck outside the land they farm.

    Edit: farmers as a demographic overwhelmingly support Trump. 78% of them believe that Trump would better address inflation than Harris, and 76% believe he would better "expand trade and address trade disputes" – the literal exact opposite of what he's been shown to have done with his stupid "trade war". As a demographic, farmers are exactly as described above.

    Russian lawmakers push through ban on childless 'propaganda'
  • TheTechnician27 TheTechnician27 3d ago 100%

    I wouldn't want to have a child in Russia either knowing their entire life suffering in that impoverished, repressive, backwards shithole would be traded in right at adulthood for a barely-put-together domestic budget car after they're sent as cannon fodder on a fascist, genocidal invasion into our innocent democratic neighbors. (If Russia hasn't somehow started sending women en masse as cannon fodder and I'm lucky enough to have a girl, then she can look forward to the same impoverished shithole except with an extremely physically abusive alcoholic husband with FAS who could be sent over to die for a Lada too.)
