You have to be a unique kind of stupid to profit from illegal labour and vote to have illegals deported.

Not unique, unfortunately, but very common.
To be fair, they have been targeted very precisely with a military psychological operation that is explicitly geared to striking fear into the vulnerable and building poor political choices off of that fear.
Yes, they're incredibly arrogant, violent, and stupid, but MAGA (and it's prequel; Brexit) works off of fear and not much else. Maybe if they really like country music I guess that could be a thing. Or flags. It sure as hell doesn't work off of reason or logic, obviously.
Nah, farmers would vote for Satan if he had a GOP endorsement.
Yea but like that one trans athlete won a race and the bitch that finished 5th was blonde so like, cant have that

Yeah, because Vermont had so many issues at the Canafian border... and "gangbangers" are such a big problem in rural areas lol
GET FUCKED.
They have imagined a threat (there isn't one) so they can imagine they are in danger or persecuted (they aren't), so they can imagine they deserve a savior (they don't), who they imagine Donald Trump to be (he most definitely isn't one).
I'd say it's a cult, but I doubt most cults even require this level of mental gymnastics.
Allow me to introduce you to most religion.

“It’s scaring the farming community,” Machia admitted. “We didn’t think they’d come for the people who help us milk cows.”
You're the cow now, Trump milks these rubes who don't care what he says or does until it affects them.
This article is focusing on the wrong issue, forget the "woe-is-me-poor-farmer" BS. The real tragedy is the countless workers, ya know the ones that ACTUALLY do the labor that are jobless for justifiable fear of being called a terrorist invader and get a trip to an El Salvadorian prison.
Boo hoo, the workers you were exploiting can't work. Too fucking bad. Do it yourself at 4 AM, it's quite literally and explicitly what you voted for.
Is America finally great again ya fuck?
I agree with you about what the real issue is. That said, this kind of article is important. Remember that MAGA can't empathize with someone unless they identify with that person. To MAGA, the struggles of immigrants are unimportant so focusing on them is targeting the wrong audience if we want to change minds. Highlighting the struggles of people MAGA can identify with might actually be able to change some minds.
Dude, the guy in the interview said he would vote for trump again anyway, no amount of identification will help those kind of people.
Just hope they have the day they voted for, and bless their heart.

what did they think .. wait. yeah. they’re not capable of thinking.
So you are... Checks notes 2200 miles away from the border. I feel like even if we disregard them voting for trump and just judge them based on that being their main voting issue, they're dumb as fuck, aren't they?
The guy is worried about gangs, yet lives in rural Vermont. What a fucking idiot.

Never understimate the power of bigotry as a political motivator, in particular among the uneducated. Trump and his oligarch cronies certainly doesn't.

"We voted for racism, not poverty and hard work! We don't want these jobs - they're for the spi... I mean for those people." --MAGA.
You could hire Americans at living wage...
Oh no, I said the 'other' quiet part out loud.
Yeah, "the locals don't want to do this kind of work" at the wages I pay them.
It would drive up the cost of milk and milk products like baby formula, which is a hardship for poor families, but of course the government COULD step up more on WIC, because we know the GOP cares so much about babies and children!
Thinking now, I wonder how much of the American milk supply is bought by Nestlé. I bet there's a way they could eat the extra cost and still make a profit, just not an obscene profit.

Guess who he will vote for next election. Nothing like repeatedly jamming a stick in your spokes.
The problem here is those farmers will now want to charge more. Even though their labor cost just went down.

Fuck this guy and his farm.
Boo fuckin hoo.
You also voted to milk cows alone at 4 a.m. you lazy mouth-breathing imbeciles. Enjoy.

What was wrong with the border? The farmer is a racist or a sheep. Sounds like both.

Leopards! Leopards!
Nom Nom Nom!
Eat their noses
Bite their toeses
Nom Nom Nom!
Gooooo, LEOPARDS!
It's strange. I live in rural VT and whenever i bike around you see Trump signs on a lot of farm fields. But then you read the newspaper and you read about ICE detaining legal employees at farms and the farmers being upset about it.
I genuinely don't understand.
Complete and dangerous lack of education and critical thought in any capacity

"I didn't think the leopards would eat MY face :("
These maga fuckers deserve all the worst
Thoughts & prayers, idiots.
These dipshits got screwed during his last term. They couldn't have had a better example of exactly what he was going to do.

At least you guys are getting a parade for his birthday. That should be fun.

So did this Make America Great Again?
Don't worry, Dustin Machia, fifth-generation dairy farmer from Sheldon.
Sell your farm to Farmco Inc: their robots will milk your cows.
Buy an overpriced house in the city to live, maybe one with lots of drugs and gang-bangers.
Make sure you support Trump's election bid in 2028, and/or vote for Donald Trump, Jr, lest a satanic Democrat moderate who defeated AOC by just a hair wins.
If you get age related health problems, look to RFK, Jr.
Remember the days when Americans and Canadians could cross the Vermont-Quebec border with relative ease? Those days are gone, and much of Canada, and perhaps a third of America, now hate people like you.
May you have the life you voted for.
