Machia voted for Trump, drawn by promises of border control and national security. “We didn’t want drugs or gangbangers,” he said. But what he didn’t expect was losing some of his most dedicated employees to immigration arrests.

“It’s scaring the farming community,” Machia admitted. “We didn’t think they’d come for the people who help us milk cows.”

LOL. Idiots

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

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 118 points 1 week ago

Not unique, unfortunately, but very common.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 69 points 1 week ago

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.

Yeah, because Vermont had so many issues at the Canafian border... and "gangbangers" are such a big problem in rural areas lol

oh no, you lost access to the people you were viciously exploiting because of your racism?

Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump, the recent crackdown has prompted a deeper reckoning within his community

Umm, okay, no sympathy then. Burn.

“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?

[-] Vorticity@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 27 points 1 week ago

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.

"I hate black people unless they work on my plantation" - GOP voters

[-] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 week ago

It's hilarious because it's the same shit as Brexit. At its core it's racist policies that amount to "we don't like brown people". Sometimes you need to watch the house burn for people to learn.

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?

[-] TammyTobacco@sh.itjust.works 55 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 57 points 1 week ago

Knowingly using undocumented workers, complaining about not having a visa program to continue taking advantage of migrants he degrades, and would still vote Trump, too. I hope they get bird flu from a big face full of cow mucus.

"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.

[-] DMCMNFIBFFF@lemmy.world 53 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

We voted for nazism and deportation, but didn't think it would affect us and our undocumented workers. Trump his first term was economically really bad, but Trump said it was the best and I trust him more than facts and numbers so I voted for him again, but didn't think he would fuck up the economy even more than before. I support the tariffs on China, but I didn't think it would affect the price of fertilizer I import from there, so now my farm is going bankrupt because China now doesn't want to buy my product anymore with the counter tariffs and they were my only customer. But I completely support Trump and fully trust him. Just from a cardboard box under the overpass from now on.

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.
