Nebraska.

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.

    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.

    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.
