53. a true bitter harvest
Fri Feb 17, 2017, 08:53 PM
Feb 2017

Hey all the farmers in the red states

The ones that voted for Trump!

The ones that did what the church told you to do!

The ones that want to send a special "fuck you" to Barack Obama and the rest of the nation but want to take the first few steps towards an America that worked for everybody.

Not only are you going to take a bath thanks to this, but the banks have absolutely no reason to save you, as foreign investors are already looking at your little farm and see the next drugstore with big-box market. You did this to yourself, because you got angry when Obama told the truth; you did not make it all by yourself, you needed the government to protect you from the sort of bankers and profiteers that Trump just made his cabinet picks.

I truly hate to sound vindictive, but this next part I can say as a former Pennsylvania resident. Pennsylvania, you gave 20,000 votes to Trump, which made all the difference, I hope you get hit the hardest. Nothing will go ahead and be a true harvest of your labors that you see the sort of people you supported when you voted for Trump take your land, take your money, then leave you some babbling fool will still find a way to blame Obama.

Enjoy your harvest, Trump voters.
