It was completely genuine, as the “you know… morons” part was adlibbed by Wilder. Little was already visibly struggling to hold a straight face as is, so when Wilder added that last part it made him crack. The film crew decided to keep that take in the movie because of how funny it was, but as the scene transitions you can see Wilder look towards the film crew as he wasn’t sure if they would redo the scene because of it.
If you utterly dismiss farmers as incorrigibly stupid rather than trying to talk with them, they will never change. If you leave agricultural workers to the wolves while the fascists pretend to have their backs, will they support you or the fascists?
Did you know most of the majority-black counties in the USA are rural areas in the South that vote overwhelmingly for Democrats? Are they also ejeets that deserve to get their cows screwed?
What about the people who get screwworms in their injuries? That’s gonna be the poor bastards who get employed to work with the livestock. Who works in shitty underpaid farm labour? Poor whites, black people, immigrants. People who have few other choices.
Snobbery against rural areas is just classism. It’s how Republicans could get such a grip on them in the first place. Go ahead and only struggle amongst educated people in the cities and scratch your head when when your country stays fascist. Watch the rural-urban divide get wider.
Yeah none of this is a surprise. Trump has done what he promised. I told many conservatives this, and they just refused to believe it. Or some even dismissed some of the things Trump said “as just politics” claiming he had no intent to keep his crazier campaign promises.
Literally has nothing to do with Trump or Trump voters.
While the USDA has long been prepared and will just repeat their actions of last time—which the article implies they’re already ready to do as it escalates—it’s more a concern of what happened to Central/South America, or the fly’s reproductive behaviours that has caused the safe zone to slowly get overrun these past few years.
If you really want to point this to Trump, I guess you’ll need to find some sort of link to something the US did that somehow caused Panama and then Mexico to get re-invaded, about 6-12 months before he was in office.
Edit: Imagine he catches wind of it though and decides to fuck it all by putting RFK Jr. in charge at the last minute…
The moron cut a critical organization when a major threat was known to be migrating north.
The agency needed a massive influx of resources for an expanded effort to control it this year.
No the root cause is not his fault, but his dumbass decisions the the fucking morons who voted for him are absolutely at fault for the shitty response.
Hmmm… Guess what percentage of the owners who raise cattle voted for the orange moron?
98.5%, 99% or 99.5?
it will be 0 once the screworms decimate the herds.
As we know Mexico being endemic to the parasite has cattle
100%
Farm people always vote against their own interests - and it shows.
You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know . . . morons

Favourite scene of all time. I don’t think Cleavon Little knew it was coming and was genuinely laughing.

This is a really bad take on the situation dude.
