    Liberal America still envisions old dudes in overalls growing carrots in a small field, a single tear rolling down their cheek as their 6 children look on with empty bowls.

    Rather than almost completely industrialized corn factories producing the raw materials for overseas ethanol production.

        No, but middle-class liberal america are still the country’s actual breadbasket, and the ones who are most easily influenced with simplistic imagery and narratives, so that’s who these stories are designed to appeal to. It would really, really twist official narratives if America broadly realized that some industries get socialism and others don’t.

          this is the problem with politics nowadays. You see it as a left vs right thing, its just divide and conquer against the masses in what is rich vs poor.

            I don’t understand what you’re going on about, I am talking about politics as it’s happening, and didn’t even frame it in a left/right way, I am talking about the administration and media’s framing of bailouts for “farmers.”
