    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.

      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.

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