Banks would refuse to give them loans unless they purchased really expensive new equipment, then when they would fall behind on payments the banks would foreclose on the loans. I remember reading about one farmer who lost his family farm and went in to plead with the bank beforehand and they basically told him to fuck off. He came back and shot the bank manager to death.

Guys.... his text is in reference to the China trade deal and the farmers will need bigger tractors.
Personally I think we are being played so that we are distracted and passive while hoping something will actually be done. And the players will have successfully stole the 2020 election and we will all still be sitting at our computers wondering wtf happened. At some point SOON we the people need to start mobilizing and demonstrating that we support our President. Surely if the left can organize a multiple city march then we can do something similar.
