As long as we allow propaganda to be directly funneled into the brains of a majority of the population via social media we shouldn't be surprised rejecting reality is easy.
If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.
Whole lotta dipshits think it's like sportsball or something and they have to boost "team red". They just think the people that "he needs to be hurting" are going to be bearing all the costs of their stupid fucking choices.
They really should wear the Star Trek red shirt uniforms instead of that stupid red hat because they are usually the first under the bus....

Thank goodness he's watching cars race, gluing tacky gold shit to the WH walls, and babbling about his ballroom, all while Stephen Miller is figuring out the best way to have absolute monsters kidnap people, put them in camps and/or deport them...
I'm sure Kamala would have been so much worse, because "DEI".
Traditionally the beef market has been predictably cyclical. It follows classic supply and demand cycles using imported beef to help maintain a more predictable cycle.
The reason we have a decreased herd size and sky high beef prices is because the orange moron fucked with international trade. This has led to record high beef prices. International trade has not been allowed to balance out the swings in supply. This fucks over the average Americans food bill.
It also has suppressed pretty much everything that is exported. Like really fucked it over. Wine, fruit, soybeans, corn, wheat, dairy, hay, etc.. growers are all going bankrupt.
These are not short-term changes either. Once a supply/trade networks are reworked it does not revert back easily. He's fucked over farmers for decades.
The last time he was in office he fucked over the soybean growers. Before Brazil and the U.S. had close to an equal share of soy exports. Since the seasons are opposite it allowed for a steady supply through the year. Today, brazil is the largest producer of soy as the purchasing countries punish the U.S. for his stupidity.
Someone has fucked over US farmers for decades. If you lose a chess match to someone, is it more likely to be to a pigeon who just happened to randomly knock over the pieces in such a way as to beat you in a game, or the old person carrying around a travel chess set just for fun and would also like to play for $10 just to make it interesting.
Careful! I'm told that all problems are caused only by Democrats, according to the Murc's Law geniuses.
Certainly, the Republicans are just a force of nature, much like the tides, and should never be blamed for anything, and any voters that vote for Republicans are only victims who, apparently, much like Republicans, also have no agency.
Cattle Ranchers unintentionally voting for vegetarianism/veganism. Also, a double vote, because the administration unraveled climate action, so the livestock supply will continue to shrink as complications from temperature rise continue to increase.
Every social media post they've been making begging for people to buy their beef, like the homeless people they want to see massacred, they're blaming leftists and liberals for not wanting to buy from them.
They're disparaging leftists and liberals because leftists and liberals (mostly leftists) don't want to support the same assholes celebrating ICE murdering innocent people, or the military bombing Iranian civilians, or our tax dollars going to Israel's genocide machine.
They're the actual, literal welfare queen archetype, but real.
Amid all those dynamics, the overall U.S. beef and dairy cattle herd hit a 75-year low this year. Americans' demand has largely remained strong, meanwhile, leading to higher prices for things like hamburger meat and steak at the grocery store and restaurants.
More people in US than ever before, and 75-year low herd numbers? No wonder they're mad.
It’s also like the administration forcing other countries to rapidly develop alternative energy due to the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz.
Hopefully we get the collapse of the US dollar soon to trigger mass class consciousness. These dudes seem to be creating the very conditions they fear most.

They blame Trump for 5 minutes, until he promises to treat immigrants, trans people, and women worse.

Enjoy dying homeless, idiots.
