“Tom, I’ll start with you,” began Mika Brzezinski. “Why are rural white voters a threat to democracy at this point?”
Fastball delivered, University of Maryland professor and co-author of just-released White Rural Rage: The Threat To American Democracy Tom Schaller took a swing. He and Mika first complained rural voters should be supporting Joe Biden, given his roots — you’d have to be pretty high to call Scranton “rural,” but whatever — then Schaller read off small town America’s charge sheet: rural whites, he said, are the most “racist,” “xenophobic,” “anti-immigrant and anti-gay,” “conspiracist,” “anti-democratic,” they “don’t believe in an independent press or free speech,” and are “most likely to accept or excuse violence,” for starters.
White Rural Rage, which I made the mistake of reading, is a vicious manifesto in the anti-populist tradition nailed by Thomas Frank in The People, No. When rural voters in the late 1800s defied New York banking interests and demanded currency reform to allow farmers an escape from one of the original “rigged games” in finance, relentless propaganda ensued. Rural populists were depicted as dirty, bigoted, ignorant. They refused expert wisdom, represented a “frantic challenge against every feature of our civilization,” and waged a “shameful insurrection against law and national honesty.” A populist caricature in Judge magazine showed a violent, destructive idiot, a real-life Lennie from still-unwritten Of Mice and Men, .....

Nobel-winning columnist Paul Krugman of the New York Times spent the last year telling “ignorant” Middle America its negative feelings about the economy are “demonstrably false,” because despite what their bank accounts or home evaluations might say, “Bidenomics is still working very well.” When White Rural Rage came out this week he rushed to review it, the intransigent refusal of yokels to accept his wisdom being his favored current hobby horse.

Totally not planned with every propagandist, democrat, and talk show came out with this at the same time.
“..these fools are claiming that voting will destroy “our democracy.”....”
Our Constitutional Republic is a direct threat to “their democracy”.
White Rural Rage??? They have NO IDEA what eagerly awaits them should they venture too far out of their urban shite holes.
I'd like to hear Jordan Peterson talk about leftist projection. Again and again and again, its always the same glaringly obvious projection.
Meanwhile, white rural men and women grow the food that most of these urban left wing dirt bags consume.
I’m buying a quarter of a beef this month from one of these rural folks.
Hey Paul- stop pissing on us and telling us it is raining out- your gaslighting sucks! We saw black rage for months on end as blacks destroyed billions of dollars worth of property- it was NOT white people doing that!
How about you point us to any equivalent acts by white folks Paul?” Yeah, i didn’t think so!
The United States of America is not a democracy. It is a republic!
that is the most obvious conclusion.
bigger picture, eradicate white western populations. they aren’t hiding it, really. government and industry is full of active discrimination. this population includes the bulk of the people who will object to quick removal of civil rights, etc. I believe it is mentioned as a problem population in some schwab book or other, with solutions that could well be what we are seeing play out.
it is going to get a LOT worse. public talking points/themes are priming for pogroms once the economy collapses and violence becomes the rule.
after 2020 I said that i was concerned we were going to see a pogrom, it is pretty much the rule after a very hostile takeover like that. but I didn’t see how it would be done.
I am starting to see now.
Yup! 😁
Krugman
Schaller
Waldman

See any patterns here of who expresses the seething, visceral hatred for anything White, Christian, Conservative, Family and Community-oriented?
They resent you. Hate you and everything you believe in. Act accordingly.
A pogrom? They better start quick because people are catching on. The leftist elites just may end up on the receiving end.
Every. Single. Time.
“Just goes to show that all the loyalists that infested NY and the surrounding areas should have been sent back to kiss the feet of the King. If ever a purge was warranted, it was after the Brits were kicked out of the country.”
Often been said NYC is a foreign country populated by strange, gray people that have little to do with America.
Excise the tumor.
Seems to me that black and brown urban rage is a much bigger problem. Rural white people aren’t killing others in droves, raping, looting and pillaging.
“If ever a purge was warranted, it was after the Brits were kicked out of the country.”
They were. A lot of loyalists were sent to Canada in 1783. We did it then, we can do it again.
If ‘White Rural People’ voted Democrat party, Krugman would bend over backwards saying how they love freedom and are the purest gold of the nation. They would be the finest breadbasket farmers.
If they vote Republican, they are all vile scum that means the electoral college is evil.
To Krugman and his types, it doesn’t matter their concerns. It’s CCCP/CCP party identity that matter, and only that.
The genius of the electoral college drives communists nuts. A handful of rural county voters can disrupt the imposition of mob rule. It makes no difference how big the plurality of the illegal vote is in urban blue states.
Anyone not paddling furiously to get aboard the Titanic before it sinks (the lefts fascists ideology swarm) must be insane and a machine gun firing into a crowd radical.
This is a classic symptom of THE mind virus, light years past the point of no hope, no return, final unto death demonstration.
It is a symptom which naturally arises out of the poverty of the left's arguments.
