    Is this a real person? Or is this “Nebraska broke 60/40 for Trump in 2020 and 60/40 for Trump in 2024, nothing has changed”.

    Year | GOP | Dem

    2020 | 556,846 | 374,583

    2024 | 564,816 | 369,995

    I am willing to gamble on the difference being entirely old people dying / new people registering to vote.

    Nevermind the fact that the state is being gobbled up by investment funds. So the lonely Berkshire Hathaway Investor out in Omaha who actually did vote for Biden in 2020 and Trump in 2024 is getting exactly what they asked for - bailouts when the stock market is in crisis and easy money for investors when farmland is most profitable.

    Y’all are inventing a guy who doesn’t exist so you can feel smug at them and ignoring the bulk of the state, whose politics you have neither the inclination or the education to grasp.

      It doesn’t say or suggest that the person voted for Biden in 2020.

      Am I missing something? How does showing the vote tallies support anything you are saying? Nearly 2x people voted for Trump than Biden.

      According to Frank, “abortion is never outlawed, school prayer never returns, the culture industry is never forced to clean up its act.”

      That might have seemed true in 2004 when “What’s the matter” was published, but even then the Republicans were laying the groundwork with judiciary appointments and institutional support to develop young future conservative judges.

        they vote for the same thing, because they are hoping to get rescued everytime they get screwed over, the gop does this to test the waters, so eventually they dont bail people out. this how the farmers think.

          You fucking need some goddamn cursing in your motherfucking life to, what, feel the metaphorical stretch of your sleazy putrid asshole and confirm you’re a fucking adult with no fucks to give like a bitch? Fuck that bullshit grandma, all my homies say frig and dang.

    You used almost slave labour in the form of migrants workers, and paid them in government money so you could continue to be a farmer and not have to sell up to some multinational agri-corp.

    But then you voted for trump because other people said foreigners were taking your job, and because your a fucking gormless mouth breather.

      The DNC also expanded pathways to citizenship as part of their bipartisan border security bill. I think there is a pretty stark distinction between slave labor and “almost slave labour”, for example the private prison complex is salivating at turning the new Trump migrant detention facilities into actual slave labor.

      But the Democrats want to tie government funding to responsible environmental practices like reducing nitrogen fertilizer runoff and manure leaks, and they might mandate slightly less inhumane conditions for animals in feed lots. The horror! /s

      If people had just kept their mouth quiet, stuck their nose up and voted blue, they could still to this day happily be exploiting poor foreigners in slave like conditions. Trump has ruined America!

        The USA has always been a horrid country but to act like neoliberal Democrats are the same as the warmongering fascists that make up the Republican party is pretty fucking stupid.

        The American population could have voted in Harris and then pushed for change but instead voted in a party that is repeatedly pushing for the invasion of Canada, Greenland/Denmark and Panama while also ACTIVELY bombing Venezuelan fishing boats in an attempt to instigate a perpetual war.

        Fuck off with the whataboutism

          They’re not the one doing whataboutism. The topic of discussion was the impacts of farming and the use of migrant labor. “Whataboutism” is leveraging an off-topic criticism to distract from something that disproves your belief. As an example, imagine someone who was both unable to defend the exploitive labor practices Harris advocates for, so they suddenly pivot to talking about something wildly unrelated like military policy.

          they dint want a women, especially a POC one in power. besides from supporting Israel, its only her sex that bothered male voters, when pressed, they give the excuse of “not liking her, or dont know her policies,etc” they can say they hate women, but are too afraid to say it out loud.

    But THE ILLEGALS!!!

    I’m surrounded by MAGA Idiots and farmers and part of me can only laugh at them while the other part of me is sad Vance will win by scooping up their farms on acretraders.
