Red states produce the bulk of our meat, true—though California still produces 8% of American beef.
But the red states’ role as America’s breadbasket is LONG gone. Most red state agro-economy has been redirected from human-grade food to commodity feedstock.
And much of that is on federal welfare.

It goes even deeper than this. The vast bulk of red state agriculture is corn, soybeans or seed crops.
And most of it is not for US human consumption! We export 20% of our corn, half of our soybean and seeds. The rest?
Most of it becomes oil, animal feed or….ETHANOL.
The subsidized fuel additive.

Half the fruits and vegetables in the US come from California, 75% of the nuts. The flyover states like to pretend they do much

Especially since a huge percentage of American crops are bought and paid for by the government.
Guess where the huge majority of the taxes that go toward buying those crops come from?
That’s right: Blue states.

Answer: 75% of all American farm workers are Latin American migrants. Yes, the same folks that the party red states support want to deport.
And no, they’re not doing it “to be nice.”

California alone produces a third of all the food America eats. So this is a lie.
But let’s break down the food produced by the red states:
Guess what percent is harvested by people from Latin America?

Welp. The narrative that Republicans are evil/corrupt and Democrats are weak/feckless is just going to carry through to the midterms I guess
Sadly, many Americans would 100% vote for Sauron and his Nazgul a third time if they could, rather than wasting a single vote on Lotho Sackville-Baggins

At a private equity firm on “5th and Wall”?
Actual New Yorkers know Fifth Avenue (never 5th!) in NYC doesn’t intersect with Wall Street. It ends at Washington Square Park.
Can you find the other clues that this account is lying and probably a foreign-run bot?
Good luck on leaving the “5 bureaus”

Yeah, please don’t buy into this face turn for MTG. She and Gosar were featured speakers at Nick Fuentes’s America First PAC monster’s ball just three years ago.
You fucking people will let anyone off the hook for their violent hateful beliefs and all they have to do is say shiny words you like
You’re all a bunch of Nazi tattoo forgiving, Jewish space lasers forgetting gullible marks getting played for fools
As a Jew I suggest you all go fuck yourselves.
