Farmers in this state have gotten FUCKED by the GOP both at the national and state level. I just hope they actually remember that when it comes time to vote.
Edit:
Hallie Shoffner of Newport announced her bid for the nomination to unseat Cotton, who was first elected to the Senate and is widely viewed as a potential 2028 presidential hopeful.
Lol. Who seriously views Tom Cotton as a "presidential hopeful"? Have they actually met the guy or even listened to him talk for a few seconds? I mean, yeah, he's got the whole cartoon villain thing down but he lacks Trump's used car salesman charisma. In fact, I've seen rocks with more personality than Tom.
Edit 2:
I wanted to provide some specific examples of GOP Farmer Fuckery.
Last week Arkansas Business reported that the number of farm bankruptcies has skyrocketed due to collapsing crop prices, which has been seriously exacerbated by our trade war with China. That by itself will probably put many of the remaining family farms in Arkansas out of business and President Trump is 100% responsible.
At the state level, in 2023 Cooks Venture, a poultry producer based in Decatur, went bankrupt leaving dozens of poultry farmers in Northwest/North Central Arkansas with millions of chickens, no money, and no feed. What does the state do? They come in and euthanize the birds, leave the farmers to deal with the carcasses, and then tell them to get fucked when they asked for financial assistance. It was a very unusual and quite serious disaster and Sarah Sander's administration basically responds with "Lol guess you should have thought of that before you became chicken farmers."
Some of the state legislators (who also happen to be Republicans) in this part of the state now have an axe to grind with SHS because of that situation and I don't blame them.
