The question was not about farmers’ political leanings. It was about perception.
In regards to helping the impoverished with government aid, the common theme (that I hear from the right) is, the impoverished are lazy, drug addicts, who want to get government aid without ever having a job. I NEVER hear a word about farmers getting government aid. Not a peep.
In fact, the only thing I have ever heard about it was on this thread, by @seawulf575 .
My observation, is what some have opined above. The right has a perception of mostly white Christian farmers just trying to make it. While seeing the brown/black skinned welfare recipients as not wanting to get a job.
The outrage I see from the right, about government aid to minorities, is not talked about in regards to farmers. Recently, farmers got over $12 billion, and according to many farmers, they will need more in the future. Yet, I haven’t heard any mention, by the right, about this being an issue.
I was trying to explore the REAL reason, that the right doesn’t seem to care about the billions flowing to the farmers. But things like welfare really get them mad. I see the two as the same thing. The only difference I can discern is skin color.
Much like the right crying for a southern boarder wall, whilst ignoring the northern boarder… Again, the only difference I can see is race…
