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.

Love the progress you guys have been making down there. We came close to electing an Independent for senator this past year, but we’re also fighting with our Governor and Surgeon General over a medical marijuana bill that passed the overwhelming majority of voters this past year yet they don’t want to support nor acknowledge. Our farmers are feeling the heat from the economic situation. I think if there’s any time to see Nebraska start to shed its fierce loyalty to Husker Red (Husker White isn’t so bad, is it?), we’ll see it happen very soon.
This is why I am, in part, optimistic about Donald losing control of Congress. Between his decision to target legal immigrants (rather than criminal) and his decision to essentially bankrupt American farmers, I expect a reckoning. The shitty thing is that, even if we hand Democrats power, it’s unlikely they’ll do anything meaningful with it. It may be significantly beneficial for the Mamdanis of the country to have an actual check against Donald’s power that, at least performatively, has to support the changes he’s trying to make. (Assuming he tries to do what he promised.)
You can only alienate your coalition so much before you imperil your own power. Just ask Democrats after their constituents told them they wanted affordability and to stop sending WMD’s to a genocide.
