It’s a good article, especially coming from Politico. The money paragraph:

Bottom line: The “threats” to democracy just aren’t there. Our research found that just 27 percent of rural voters — including 23 percent of rural Trump voters — think that if the opposing candidate wins in November, “people will need to take drastic action in order to stop [Biden or Trump] from taking office.” That’s the exact same proportion — 27 percent — as voters in urban and suburban areas who hold the same view. Nor are rural voters more likely than urban voters to say that the opposing party is a “threat to the future of America;” while 38 percent of rural Trump voters strongly believe that about Democrats, 36 percent of nonrural Biden voters think that same thing about Republicans.

I’ll repeat myself. The far left progressives are actually lily white. Nearly seven-in-ten Progressive Left (68%) are White adults, making this group less racially and ethnically diverse than the other Democratic-oriented groups.

Yet, these chiefly white folks hold extremist views not JUST on race…

…but on a plethora of matters. Indeed, this lot holds more extreme views overall than those held by more racially-diverse Dem groups.

These whites live in enclaves in cities, prefer going to museums over going to the range, and think religion is sophistry. Their policies and language all reek of a Superiority Complex.

The REAL intent behind the “rage” lie they push, is provocation. The provocateurs on the left blame rurals, their cousins on the right blame the urbanites. I’ve seen this movie before. The question is: will we ants recognize the TRUE fiend?

“There are countries that are better than the US”

That puzzles me. If they think European countries are better off than the US, why are they importing so many people from other parts of the world?

I would have said, if they want the US to be like Sweden or France, why are they importing Venezuela, but Sweden and France aren’t what they used to be either.

Notice though, that most Democrats don’t agree than other countries are better than the US. Why they are supporting Biden’s immigration policy is even more of a mystery.

My husband loves your ant analogy.

“who shook the jar”

The “social scientists” never learned the secret of when “science” is useless—when it studies something more intelligent that it is.

fundamental change is comin’ to America.

The problem does indeed boil down to “who is shaking the jar”, but just as significant is the question of who inside the jar adopts the external reasons the jar is being shaken which is setting the inhabitants inside against each other.

It is clear to me that the external reasons are a mixture of Marxism, greed, and lust for power, which are readily embraced by a subset of the population within the jar.

The deep state shook the jar. They have over 200 trillion in unfunded liabilities that they can only pay by creating money out of the thin air. Venezuela already tried that idea didn’t work out to well.
