He feared his family dairy farm, which has passed through six generations, may not survive the downturn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember telling Dad as we were milking cows, \u2018I don\u2019t think we\u2019re going to be able to make it through this\u2019,\u201d Ropp says.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.ffx.io\/images\/$zoom_0.2523%2C$multiply_0.3541%2C$ratio_1%2C$width_1059%2C$x_412%2C$y_89\/t_crop_custom\/q_86%2Cf_auto\/118214cc4437696dbdfe1bfa4645ecd2032ef160\" height=\"375\" width=\"375\"><\/p>\n<p>Dairy farmer Ken Ropp believes America is adopting a \u201csocialist midset\u201d.<cite><span>Credit:<\/span>Julia Rendleman<\/cite><\/p>\n<p>A few weeks later he received a call from one of the state\u2019s largest food supply companies.<\/p>\n<p>The federal Department of Agriculture had just announced a plan to buy produce from local farmers and distribute it to needy Americans in emergency food hampers. Ropp was invited to supply 40,000 blocks of cheese each fortnight, and he leapt at the offer.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of going under, Ropp was now churning out cheese at an unprecedented rate. Orders soared threefold and he hired extra staff to keep up with demand.<\/p>\n<p>Eighteen months later, business is still booming at his farm on the outskirts of Normal, a town of around 50,000 people in central Illinois. But while the present may be sunny, Ropp sees storm clouds on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.ffx.io\/images\/$zoom_0.095%2C$multiply_0.4431%2C$ratio_1.5%2C$width_756%2C$x_0%2C$y_0\/t_crop_custom\/q_86%2Cf_auto\/d11882c2a0d36dcfb1b3e10bb5ee93a266f2354f\" height=\"224\" width=\"335\"><\/p>\n<p>McLean County board member Josh Barnett. <cite><span>Credit:<\/span>Julia Rendleman<\/cite><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m in my best financial position in 16 years of making cheese,\u201d he says. \u201cBut I\u2019m scared what it\u2019ll be like five, 10 years down the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Sydney Morning Herald<\/i> and <i>The Age<\/i> visited Normal to learn how voters in the American heartland feel about the state of the country 10 months into the Biden era.<\/p>\n<p>Thanksgiving, celebrated on Friday (Australian time), was just days away, but gratitude was in short supply. Instead, the overwhelming sentiments were grumpiness and gloom &#8211; reflecting the pessimistic national mood. Just 23 per cent of Americans feel satisfied about the state of their country, according to an October Gallup poll, while 75 per cent are dissatisfied.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.ffx.io\/images\/$zoom_0.143%2C$multiply_0.4431%2C$ratio_1.5%2C$width_756%2C$x_0%2C$y_1\/t_crop_custom\/q_86%2Cf_auto\/030514989518a69ce6acb19e447a2932f08c9eff\" height=\"224\" width=\"335\"><\/p>\n<p>Crime rates are well below the national average in Normal and, at 4 per cent, the area has the lowest unemployment rate in Illinois.<cite><span>Credit:<\/span> Julia Rendleman<\/cite><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople don\u2019t realise how upside down we are right now,\u201d Ropp says. \u201cWe\u2019re overstepping our bounds to make people dependent on government. We\u2019re adopting a socialist mindset. There\u2019s a lot of things that scare me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ropp knows his stance may sound hypocritical, given a federal government contract kept his business afloat during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>But the self-described conservative firmly believes President Joe Biden is taking the country down a dangerous road \u2013 from the soaring national debt to the surge of undocumented immigrants at the US-Mexico border, to school teachers pushing \u201cfar left\u201d views on their students.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u2018The laughingstock of the world\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Residents in many parts of America have obvious reasons to be glum: decaying towns where manufacturing jobs have moved to China and opioid addiction is rampant; economically depressed inner cities where gun violence is a daily threat.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not the case in Normal. Crime rates are well below the national average and, at 4 per cent, the area has the lowest unemployment rate in the state of Illinois.<\/p>\n<p>The presence of several large insurance companies and a public university has provided a steady stream of well-paid, white-collar jobs. And manufacturing jobs are returning rather than vanishing: electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian picked Normal to be the home of its first US manufacturing plant, bringing national media attention to the town.<\/p>\n<p>For all these good points, Mitzi Bell, a 44-year-old daycare worker and Uber driver, detects an increased aggressiveness in the way locals treat each other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou used to be able to go to the grocery store without people fighting over parking spots,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are nastier than they used to be; they feel more comfortable being outright rude. I\u2019m a white mum with a black daughter and I get more dirty looks now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole culture of us being cordial and respectful to each other is deteriorating and that\u2019s really sad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bell describes herself as a political independent who is willing to vote for either party. She voted for Biden in the last election because she was desperate to see Donald Trump \u2013 a \u201cnasty, ego-driven man\u201d \u2013 kicked out of office.<\/p>\n<p>While she\u2019s glad Trump is no longer in the White House she is disappointed in Biden\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a glimmer of hope when Biden was elected, but he hasn\u2019t really done anything,\u201d Bell says. It\u2019s an alarming verdict given only days earlier Biden had signed into law America\u2019s biggest infrastructure spending bill in decades.<\/p>\n<p>Just 43 per cent of Americans approve of Biden\u2019s job performance according to the <em>FiveThirtyEight<\/em> polling average \u2013 a dramatic 10 percentage point drop since July. The most notable decline has been among independent voters like Bell. In February, 61 per cent of independents approved of the job Biden was doing; by October that had plummeted to 34 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the shift from Trump to Biden, Bell says America remains \u201cthe laughingstock of the world\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.ffx.io\/images\/$zoom_0.2488%2C$multiply_0.3541%2C$ratio_1%2C$width_1059%2C$x_412%2C$y_162\/t_crop_custom\/q_86%2Cf_auto\/ffd8140fe9fc99ffc2710c92c59a207c1df1d102\" height=\"375\" width=\"375\"><\/p>\n<p>Lower crime rates, more jobs: Welcome to Normal, Illinois.<cite><span>Credit:<\/span>Julia Rendleman<\/cite><\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u2018China will be number one\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Just like Ken Ropp\u2019s dairy farm, Fort Jesse Caf\u00e9, a popular breakfast and lunch spot in Normal, is thriving.<\/p>\n<p>But chef and co-owner Chris Bradley is battling the same challenges as business owners across the country. Inflation is at a 30-year high in America, meaning the cost of everything from plastic takeaway containers to bacon has jumped dramatically. Then there are the supply chain blockages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t know what produce we will be able to get week to week,\u201d Bradley says. \u201cIt\u2019s been frustrating. Every restaurant in town is dealing with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s much to celebrate about the American economy right now. Unemployment benefit claims this week hit their lowest levels in 50 years and consumer spending is strong. But just 35 per cent of Americans say the national economy is good while 65 per cent say it is poor, according to an Associated Press poll this month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe gas [petrol] price is skyrocketing, food is more expensive, the price of everything is going up,\u201d Michelle Lee, a 66-year-old tax office employee, says as she eats a shrimp po boy with her daughter. In October Illinois petrol prices surged to $US3.41 ($4.75) a gallon, their highest level since 2014.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI voted for Biden, but I\u2019m sorry I did,\u201d Lee says. \u201cAmerica has lost its power and place where it used to be. China is going to be number one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Housekeeper Tawauna Melton, 46, agrees. \u201cI\u2019m disappointed and a lot of people are feeling the same. Things could be going a lot better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Josh Barnett also voted for Biden, despite being an elected Republican member of the local council. Barnett is a classic \u201cnever Trumper\u201d, the small cohort of Republicans who recoiled at the former president\u2019s policies and personality.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Trump\u2019s election loss last year, he still looms over American politics as the figurehead of the Republican Party and a potential 2024 presidential candidate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis time is so critical to get the country back on track, to get the heart and soul of the nation back to where it needs to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel very dark,\u201d Barnett says. \u201cThe Republican Party has lost its soul and I question whether it will ever get it back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although he admires Biden he believes Democrats in Congress are \u201cfloundering\u201d, increasing the likelihood that Trump (or a Trump-like candidate) will win office in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis time is so critical to get the country back on track, to get the heart and soul of the nation back to where it needs to be.
