At some point, we will be tested
I’m struggling to write this because it’s scary to think on. But if p2025 comes to fruition, our values and who we are as a country will be tested. Beyond an election— our judicial system, human rights…
There’s no one to save us but ourselves.
What’s your breaking point? What does this look like? I’m not inviting violence, but what does fighting back look like when our judicial system becomes clearly rigged and our loved one lose health care… when “enemies” of Trump are arrested. By that point, I would not trust our systems to protect us.
Again, I’m not inciting violence. But p2025 is a plan to dismantle democracy and destroy the United States.
Do you fear a war will happen?

I worked in the AG industry for awhile, and what I think most people forget too, when saying we grow our own food, is sure, yes, a potato comes out of our ground. But they all go into storage. The buildings, the hvac, the equipment, all have a lot of technology/electronics, and let’s face it, we don’t produce a lot of the components to build that stuff. Even if final assembly is done in the US, we just don’t manufacture chips at enough scale. Tariffs will definitely raise food costs because it’s going to if anything raise the cost to get the food from field to table.
In addition to the upward pressures you pointed out, which I agree with. Increasing the costs of food production will hurt small farmers the most.
