Karma is rough on idiots

Pro-Trump farmers now worry he was serious about NAFTA repeal

Washington (CNN)Bob Hemseath, whose corn-farming business hinges on the whims of mother nature, is comfortable with uncertainty.

But as the fourth-generation farmer heads onto his northeast Iowa farm for the 2017 planting season, it's the uncertainty coming from the White House that has Hemseath increasingly worried.
The farmer listened during the 2016 campaign as Donald Trump, the real estate magnate turned politician, promised to end the North American Free Trade Agreement. Hemseath, a Republican whose industry relies heavily on exports to Mexico, chalked it up to political bluster, noted Hillary Clinton's anti-trade rhetoric and voted for Trump in November.

But it's not enough.

It appears that all of the anxiety the past three months has been loaded on the left.


I really need some serious anxiety and self punishment put on his supporters.

Fuck him, he got what he voted for.
Grandpa and my uncles had no use for their neighbors who constantly voted GOP and against thier own self interests.
"Damn dumb farmers" as grandpa would say.
