Yeah. US Agriculture is currently getting fucked royally. Here in Arkansas, farm bankruptcies have skyrocketed this year. Lots of rural communities lean heavily MAGA so I guess they can have the day they voted for.
No worries. Private equities will buy them for Penny on the dollar. Then, we can remove the tariffs and generalize black ~~slaves~~ prisoners working them for free.
That's what the MAGA morons think. In reality they'll be enslaved on the plantations too.
all those immigrants either fled the states, or is detained, nobody picks up your crops, or managing the hospitality sector.
Meanwhile the export counties started to van GMO crops, USA's favorite, foreign tourists are staying away while citizens can't afford tourism anymore. The need to pick crops and hospitality is decreasing.
We already pulled the immigrant crackdown in Florida (2023) and had to dial it right back when they all ran away. You'll notice there isn't any news about ICE down here!
no more biden where you can rail on, and then save you, no more dems because they dont control any of the house, or is sufficient prescene in nebraska to reverse things.
Republicans will just continue to blame the Democrats. The Republican cult will continue to believe them. They don’t care if they are hurting so long as their enemies hurt, too. The party of hatred and intolerance.
IIRC Nebraska is one of two states to split their electoral vote (I think the other is Maine?). The eastern part of the state (mainly the major cities like Omaha and Lincoln) is purple-leaning-blue and has voted against Trump at least once.
Of course the Republican Party is looking to change that to winner-takes-all like the rest of the country, which would drown out the liberal part of the state and turn it solid red.
