“It’s not socialism or welfare if you call it “subsidies””.
—MAGA farmer Welfare Queens
Edit: And just think, if Trump keeps up with these bullshit tariffs, taxpayers will need to pay this *every fucking year*. So much winning! 🙄
Socialism isn’t “government does thing” or even “government helps people”. It’s when workers control the means of production.
If farms were collectively by their workers or a *democratic* state, that would be socialism.
People need to stop trying to approach Trump supporters from a logical point of view. Trump supporters, by their very nature, are illogical people.
Their whole ideology is fluid. Whatever Trump says is true, even if it completely conflicts with something he said earlier.
We were always at war with Eurasia.
Gives them a little more time to sell their farm to China
Last week he threatened to raise the tariffs 50% on Saskatchewan potash .lol
All that will do is create another need for a farmer bailout when their prices increase
It’s not socialism it’s national security. With our farm subsidies we would only import food as it’s cheaper. That would make us dependent on world trade to survive.
Trump The Wise knows this and plans ahead.
so all the financial bailouts in the 2008 great recession was socialism? because t hat’s the only logical conclusion of this meme.
Yeah, shut up… I like money. So if the tarrifs lost us 44 billion and the subsidies gives us 12 billion…. what’s 44 minus 12?

Republicans have always been reprogrammable meat bags, they will do an ideological 180° as soon as they’re told.
Trump is saving Cargill and ADM with bribes
NO BAILOUTS!!
Trump-loving farmers are NOT ”too big to fail”, let them sink along with the anchor they’ve chained themselves to
“Trump is saving the farmers (from the economic disaster he caused) with a bailout”
The mistake is in assuming the logic goes “I see something as socialist and conclude it’s bad” when it’s really closer to “I see something as bad and conclude it’s socialism”. In that framework if something isn’t “bad” it *can’t* be socialism.
Poor education and the ongoing echoes of the “red scare” means that many Americans don’t adequately understand what socialism is, and that is *by design*; those voters wouldn’t be so scared and angry if they understood what they hate and fear. The ignorance is insulation keeping more voters from cluing in that maybe the things they’re conditioned to hate aren’t so bad or that they might even be positive.
It’s okay and not socialism because all the so-called “farmers” are mega-corps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He’s bailing them out to save them from the problems he caused. And calling himself a hero for doing it.
