It's been quite an incredible journey watching Trump's promise to deport people who are in the U.S. illegally go from making "fight for a living wage" lefties suddenly pivoting to what is basically "if that happens the lack of workers to pay super low wages will make our food more expensive!"
If you think food prices are high now, wait until they are deported. https://t.co/1AleqAl6uW

So, "a living wage except not necessarily for everybody"?
On the other side of that narrative are the voters who elected Trump, and some of them are farmers.
Politico seems to be hoping that going for Trump will backfire on farmers in California because some of their workers could be deported:
These California farmers went for Trump. Now he could deport half their workers. https://t.co/vkdBXOhK4a

The sub headline to that story is how some farmers' votes for Trump could "ruin them."
Trump made his agenda loud and clear during the campaign, and the farmers in question certainly know their businesses better than a Politico writer, so presumably they have things figured out.
California farmers could soon enjoy bumper crops thanks to President-elect Donald Trump’s pledge to lift water restrictions. But who will pick them if he follows through on his deportation threats?
The country’s largest agricultural constituency backed Trump in November, bucking California’s deep-blue electorate over his campaign promises to “open the faucet” and deliver more water to the state’s parched, conservative-leaning Central Valley. But now it’s reckoning with an uncomfortable contradiction: Trump also campaigned on mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, who make up at least half of the state’s agricultural workforce.
That’s left California’s agricultural barons, who employ the most farm workers of any state in the nation and grow half the produce consumed in the United States, nervously parsing Trump’s rhetoric.
Somebody tell them Trump supporters already are well aware of what they voted for, and I assume so were these farmers in question.
Trump didn’t hide his agenda like Kamala did. Mass deportations are happening. They must happen https://t.co/0CIme1cSyZ

Tom Homan is making that abundantly clear, and Trump continues to do so as well. I'm reminded of when Kamala Harris started campaigning as the "tough prosecutor" who would bring back the rule of law -- except of course when it comes to the millions and millions of people who broke the law and entered the country illegally (after Biden basically invited them to come in).
They know exactly what they voted for when they voted for Trump. Why is it an issue now Politico? https://t.co/TtOtYdx86T

Media efforts over the next four years to try and convince Trump supporters how their lives are worse because they didn't instead vote for the Democrat are going to be shameless, but we can always point and laugh at them.
The many media efforts to try and tell Trump voters how they only made their lives worse sound like they were written by Harry Sisson or the "Democratic Wins" account.

It's impossible to tell the difference between paid Democrat activists and some "journalists" these days.

In reality it's lefty Democrats who are regretting the votes of Trump supporters, like this guy:

Luke TDSkywalker sure got disappointed fast!
The added element of "WTF" to the Democrat spin over Trump's border policies making food more expensive is the fact that groceries were cheaper before Biden took office and let more than ten million people into the country illegally. They need to find a different talking point, and they will when the current one doesn't pan out yet again.
