2. Not all ranchers or farmers voted for Trump. The life of family farmers is not an easy one...

I know, having lived most of my life in the West and likewise having had a farming grandfather in the Midwest who dropped dead decades too early in the process (a not uncommon phenomenon). You have zero idea what it is like for family ranchers/farmers then or NOW. But, hell, they are overrepresented in deep red states, so they should face our full wrath, right?

Yours is an attitude akin to wanting all the Health Care Workers who gave up their lives to care for us during COVID to suffer because they pushed unpopular vaccines and masking (and many who now have long Covid-sans any kind of compensation and can barely work)..Or educators who have tried to remain in the system despite Trump/MAGA's horrendous attacks on books and attempts to convert to MAGA centers of propaganda. Or CDC, FDA, NIH workers now summarily tossed--having their lives destroyed because they deigned to stay to see if they could try to continue to do their invaluable work--even under Trump. Hell, they are the enemy, right, RandySF?

Or akin to blaming all those DUers living in Red States for those states supporting Trump. Really, RandySF? Just use that all-inclusive 'broad brush' to blame the victims, too. God Damn. This is just wrong.
