For decades they've listened to snotty, urban Progressives call them stupid rednecks, hillbillies and homophobic racists. Maybe you should try a different approach if you want to earn their support.
Or maybe they could not validate those concerns by voting this clown into office.
Actually, some people are just not selfish pricks and have the intellectual capacity to weigh the pros and cons of multiple issues and vote accordingly. Its always so telling to see the typical chest thumping liberal talk about how we need to make sacrifices as a society (health care, minimum wage, free tuition) to help everyone, then turn around and admonish someone for not voting in a manner thats 100% selfish and single minded.
Or maybe morons get duped into voting for policies that will directly hurt them so they can stick it to minorities and gays and immigrants. That elongation of the estate tax will really help tha unemployed mill worker that he rushed to the ballot box for? Or maybe he'll stick it to the libs by voting to cut taxes for billionaires.
Why is the u.s. Always concerned about energy independence but not food independence?
It's very doable. The USA is very fortunate to have such a diverse range of climates, almost anything can be grown. Some foods may end up being more expensive, but it can be done.
However, the US also suffers from natural disasters more than any other country on earth, so if a major hurricane compromised the entire rice region of the US, for instance, that might destabilize things a bit. In other words, it's putting more eggs in one basket (perhaps literally, ha) than if we have many countries we're importing from.
There's always genetically engineered goods, if the public is up for that. The technology is developing to allow foods to be artificially grown in labs.
Dont we subsidize and overproduce corn in excessive fashion anyway? Not making excuses for Trump, but there could be a good unintended outcome here if it reduces unnecessary production that is effectively a resource drain and also bad for the environment.
That and the ethanol nonsense are favors to dem and repub money sources. Useless Ethanol has raised prices of products using corn.
To predict what MX will do and the impending doom is the stuff of liberal future projection fantasies. the situation has not played out and Trump is again the piniata'.
It's SO bad, ADM quit taking corn at 4pm and won't open again until... 7am tomorrow.
And the CBOT... didn't even blink.
Now dayum that is seriously fuggdup. Do the Mexicans even know that they are buying
Frankencorn from us?
Heads will roll I tell you! (or at the least ears)

Thank you for your ongoing assistance in getting President Trump elected in '16 and re-elected in 2020, and then Pence in '24 and '28. We appreciate you help! Please keep it up.
but but but-MAGA!!!! Mexico can only deal with US???
It's somewhat satisfying seeing the fruits of the Trumpeter lemmings silliness happen so soon. But it's not like anyone with half a brain didn't see this coming. Wait for the China bilateral agreement. Sadly, the midwest will prob be hurt out by this...wonder which inner city they will blame this on this go 'round?
Not only a China bilateral agreement, just wait until a Russia-China SECURITY agreement with Mexico because of Trump. Mexico will soon happily base Chinese and Russia warships and submarines so that they can patrol the US coast. How long after that until the Chinese or Russians setup 'missile defense' in Mexico?
The elite 1% have been using tax dollars and grain dumping upon Mexico as a means of economic terrorism against Mexico (and the US labor force) since the birth of nafta.
That's what it's all about. Corn in the US was not worth growing. They took tax money to subsidize it. Yo put the indigenous Mexican farmer out of business.
So they would move to the cities and fill the factories as profiteers shipped jobs south of the border in order to make corporate windfall gains upon the export of labor.
