Dem Director: Rural White Americans ‘Not Grateful Enough’
western journal ^ | 7/20/19 | Ben Marquis

any have argued that the modern Democratic Party has all but abandoned the white middle- and working-class voters that used to form the core of the party’s constituency in favor of minorities, young voters, and other demographics.

Though some on the left deny it, their own words and actions only confirm the reality that white voters in “flyover country” have been written off by the Democrats.

The Washington Free Beacon reported on yet another instance in which a Democratic operative has all but admitted that fact.

That political operative is David Atkins, a regional director for the California Democratic Party, who posted a nine-tweet thread on Thursday accusing “rural white Americans” of being “ungrateful” for what the federal government had done for them while charging the same group of voters with being “whiny” and “bigoted.”

Democrats have destroyed the great American cities—is that what we should be grateful for?

Never insult those who grow your food.

OR those who prepare it!

Rural white people look at San Francisco, LA, Seattle, Portland, New York, Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Camden, Boston, Newark, DC, etc... and want none of what you are selling.

Simple as that.

Unfortunately there are those supposedly on our side who hold Americans in flyover country in contempt, e.g., Kevin Wiliamson’s article in National Review, “The White Ghetto “, which denigrated Appalachia.

Grateful for WHAT?

Certainly not anything the dems have inflicted on this country.

Our gratitude is towards God, not them.

America found her values--her very soul--in a predominantly rural, settler heritage. Those who repudiate that heritage embrace a form of reasoning that is absolutely inconsistent with those rustic settler values--and thus inconsistent with the very warp & woof of American cultural imperatives, such as self-reliance; such as moral responsibility; such as loyalty to a common heritage, a common purpose; loyalty to the very continuity of what wise & honorable men created & built on.

And that's what's going to help people survive when the whole thing collapses down around our heads.

Since when does being ‘grateful’ mean I have to turn a blind eye to evil and corruption? Because that is all the modern Democrats have to offer these days.

As I’m a more or less “educated hillbilly” & from a “wide place in the road” in northeast TX, I can tell you that most of us “rural folks” & “rubes from flyover country” KNOW how the “big shots” from DC feel about us. = Further, we “rural folks” thoroughly DESPISE them.

ALL that those “leaders” care about is MONEY & MORE POWER for themselves & their fellow swamp-dwellers.

Yours, TMN78247

Yet another white person hating leftist. They hate you, folks. Buy guns and ammo. They will not just stop at passively hating you. When they have strong enough numbers, they will come to kill you.

someone should remind this California wackadoodle who wants to disenfranchise flyover country by eliminating the Electoral College, of a Kennedy quote, “ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country”

To flyover folks, ‘the government’ is a problem, not a solution. Flyover folks don’t take handouts when they can do for themselves. Flyover folks spend less time in shopping centers and social platforms and more time growing things. Flyover folks don’t have time to build grievances because they’re too busy building family values, self-sufficiency and Faith. And watching wackadoodle politicians like a hawk - especially the morons California is world-famous for.

The Democrats have made a deliberate choice to become the Colored Peoples’ Party.

Think of the Democrats as vote hoarders.

Their house may be a mess but is theirs....
