He doesnt seem to be concerned one ounce about the warming effect thats happening around the whole world, Kristina Lange said. Were working the land every season, and were seeing firsthand the changes in the weather patterns.
They mentioned the racism they see coming from Trump and the far-right MAGA movement, as well as Trumps anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies.
I mean, I thought racism was pretty much over with Obama winning, and now its worse than ever, Bob Lange said. And he [Trump] just breeds contempt; he breeds divisiveness. He breeds hatred, bullying.
The Langes themselves have been targets of MAGA bullying. After appearing in an ad for Harris, they have faced an onslaught of threats and harassment against them and their business. Trump supporters have vowed to shut their business down and have accused the couple of being paid Democratic actors and longtime donors to Democratic candidates, neither of which they are.

(4,870 posts)Trump is worried only about HIS future, and there's not much future ahead for him. He is desperate and will do/say/agree to anything that will keep him out of prison. Don't throw support to someone who doesn't give a damn about you, has said he doesn't give a damn about you, and only cares about billionaires who can give him money.
A lot of farmers have long supported the GOP, but finally seeing that the GOP long ago evolved into something that exploits their support, lies to them constantly, thinks they are fools, while ignoring policies that make their farms successful. FINALLY.
Better late than never, I reckon.

Those few showing up at his rallies epitomize the brainwashing they are receiving. You can tell how excited they are to be in his presence, unlike Kamala's droll and boring rallies. NOT!
The Gods favor Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. As I will assume, the voters do as well.
