@thetimes: As a Democratic rancher in red Nebraska, Trina Hanzel was used to biting her tongue around her Republican neighbours.⁠ ⁠ Fearing that criticising President Trump or identifying herself as a progressive voter could negatively impact the family business, she avoided discussing politics with her peers. But with soaring diesel and fertiliser prices sparked by the Iran war compounding her farm’s losses, she decided she had nothing to lose.⁠ ⁠ Rather than ostracising herself from customers and damaging her business, Hanzel found that making herself out as a Democrat led to a sudden windfall⁠ Hanzel, 50, went from having a handful of customers interested in buying meat directly from her Horseshoe Bend ranch to receiving more than 150 messages a week ⁠ #donaldtrump #america #ranchers #farmers #bluedot

May she continue to have so much business she doesn’t know what to do with it all. But not in the way that she’s overwhelmed, just busy enough to be happy and secure. 🥹

Commercializing farmland was laid out in Project 2025. It was literally written down. J.D. Vance’s venture-capital firm, Narya Capital, invested in AcreTrader, that buys bankrupt farmland. They want you to go out of business.

People , and bots , often believe that there are no blue areas in red states. Same for blue states , they have red areas too. So basically not all rural voters are MAGA.
