You expressed quite well what I've been feeling about these low information, right-leaning slaves of corporate agriculture who are marching lock-step to the exhortations of Big Ag. How odd that 3 generations ago Iowa's rural farmers were once a fiercely independent, powerful progressive voice and a political force to be reckoned with.

Farm Bureau, Pork Producers Assoc., Cattleman's Assoc., Soybean Assoc., Corn Growers Assoc. (hell, toss in the NRA)--all their "men's clubs" (corporate tools) are conservative organs coaxing them to the polls to vote red and ensure their own self-destruction, children, grandchildren, and communities.
