Greetings from Trump's America: Pierce County, Wisconsin, where some voters are having second thoughts about the vote they cast last November

 
3rd party votes:  23.1% in 1992, 13% in 1996, 6.9% in 2016
(Alabama segregationist George Wallace 
received 4.5% of the vote in 1968)
Election results and map:  Wikipedia

Population:  42,212

Much of the nation’s food supply comes from farmers who get financial help from federal programs. The Trump administration has been reviewing those dollars and trying to cut staffing at the U.S. Agriculture Department. 
Some funding freezes have ended, and a panel has ruled that 6,000 USDA workers can temporarily go back to work. 
But for Wisconsin farmers Sara George and Emmet Fisher, funding and staffing questions remain. George grows specialty crops like fruit and vegetables near Pepin, Wisconsin. Fisher is a dairy farmer near Hager City, Wisconsin, who also provides food for people in a subscription program.
Demographically, it's MAGA country.


Check out the similarity in presidential voting, especially since 2012:
Crawford County.  (3/11/2025)
Vernon County.  (3/11/2025)
