Cattle ranchers are making less money in the US despite beef prices at an all-time high. In the meantime, Trump started importing beef from Argentina to lower beef prices, but only achieved to lower cattle prices.

Trump supporting cattle ranchers weren’t happy

    Anyone telling you trump supporters are changing their minds are lying to you

    I’m being objective. You can’t look at at an election where every single Donald district flipped blue and then argue that minds didn’t change. That’s just unreasonable.

      You’re not being objective.

      Voter turnout has everything to do with most US elections and explains election results far better than some sort of fantasy about people waking up and deciding to abandon years of family, friends and media.

      When turnout is abysmally low republicans win in a landslide. They understand this and that’s why their strategy for the last 30 years has been trying to reduce voter turnout by going after organizations like ACORN, delisting voters, etc.

      They are giving you two valid reasons.

      Virginia 2023 midterms had 41% turnout while 2025 had 54%. Even comparing governor races, 2021 had 3.2mil votes casted with an R winning and 2025 had 6.0mil votes with a D winning. Their population has remained steady with 8.6mil in 2021 and growing 0.1mil each year. That’s a massive turnout difference.
