As someone who grew up in a rural, agriculture-dependent environment I fully endorse this perspective, because it’s 💯% accurate.
@sarahtaber.bsky.socialA very serious Rural Politico once told me "Dems have to go to farmer meetings! We gotta be where the people are!"
I was in fact in a farmer meeting at that very moment!
So I live-texted him the meeting. They were complaining that they want indentured workers that they don't have to pay or feed.
