    And the already-malnourished (yet somehow overweight) supporters of the fascist will bear the brunt of higher prices as they’re unable to afford fresh produce. Their health will further decline and the cuts to their healthcare will ensure that their remaining teeth fall out, which will aid them in fellating the gross orange man. I, however, will be able to afford fresh produce because I’m a “coastal-elite,” (just like Trump!) and live where I have good job opportunities. Oh well.

    Note: I’m being acrimonious and, in reality, do not shit on people who are unable to afford this hellish economy. I’m just shitting on his supporters in a way that feels obvious. Apologies to anyone who doesn’t support fascism and is hurting due to this shithead’s policies, I don’t mean for this to target you.

      Trumpers are probably not eating fresh produce
