Now. I've never been as worried as I am now about whether or not my kids and grandkids will be able to carry on.

love. You just saw is one of literally hundreds of farmers crying and whining about what's happened to their family businesses over the course of the last eight months.

The rest of what I'm gonna say applies directly to the 75% of that community, farmers, ranchers, or agricultural people who voted for the 80-year-old diapered dementia patient. The 25% of you who actually learned the lesson from the first time around. Feel free to scroll along this reaction that all of you're having.

u shouldn't be living off of [:

Nevermind that these people were working just as hard, if not harder for. You know, far less than what you were given. You've lived off of generations of handouts and you feel like because you were born on third base, you hit a triple. And now all of those supports are being taken away and you feel like some grand injustice has been done to you.

You're just getting a taste of what marginalized communities have been living under for centuries. Let that sink in. This is normal for the vast majority of people who look like me, vast majority of people who are in the black community. You've just been too ignorant and blind and stupid to actually pay attention and give a shit.

So now that you're actually getting a taste of that medicine, you feel like you've been wronged and the. Universe is set up against you and you expect the guy, and you're demanding the guy that did this to you. To come save you. How stupid does that sound? That is the height of entitlement. That is the height of privilege.

and it's all of those things [:

This is proof again of how expensive racism is because. It's not like what you just saw or what you've been experiencing is new. In fact, you had a taste of this the first go around in the first Trump term. The guy who has been bankrupt more times than anybody cares to remember nearly bankrupted the agricultural sector, and it resulted in one of the biggest bailouts in history.

n pointed out that people in [:

And the reality of it is, is that I'm having a hard time finding sympathy for any of you. I'm having a hard time feeling sad, or feeling empathy to a group of people who are perfectly fine. Just a handful of months ago, screaming to anybody that would listen that you're getting exactly what you voted for.

Well, guess what? Now you're getting exactly what you voted for. And the only way that you people will learn your lesson is if you lose every damn dime and you're out on the street, and then you can look down and pull yourselves up by those bootstraps that you keep telling everyone else to use. See the lesson here is pretty simple.

e lived off of, and now that [:

You know what that feeling is? That's the feeling of entitlement because every other demographic that has come to this country has built themselves without the aid of all those handouts and all the while. Your Oval Lords have been pointing the finger at everybody else saying that those people were the ones that were stealing from you.

The lesson here is pretty simple. All of you needed to be humbled, and you're getting that humbling right now. And this might be the only opportunity where you legitimately learn your actual lesson. And that lesson is pretty simple. The 1% have stolen from you, and until you realize that they are your enemy and not anyone that looks like me, maybe you'll finally get it. Maybe you'll stop bitching and complaining about how someone who's working a minimum wage job shouldn't be allowed to buy soda using food stamps.

e defense sector and all the [:

So until you realize that I don't have any patience for you, and you will get zero sympathy from me, the only way that you might even be able to redeem yourself is if you strap out all of that maiden China red hat bullshit and wattle yourself down to Washington DC and let's see a sequel to J six this time where it actually matters.

Until you do something like that. You can fuck right off and not just a little bit of the way you can fuck all the way off.
