'I Feel Like We're on the Run': The Hatred for Democrats in Rural America Has Reached Biblical Levels

Well, this isn’t exactly a new story. The bleeding has been occurring for years, and Democrats have ignored it. It reached critical levels under Obama, where state party apparatuses truly withered away and died. Hillary Clinton pledged to fix that in 2016 but she lost the election. In the age-old debate about the allocation of outreach resources, the Left could have done what they should have which is double-down on rural white working-class voters or go all-in on the urban-based elites. The Democrats decided to do the latter. Four years later, Democrats saw their hopes of a huge House majority die thanks to their failure to reach out to people who aren’t unhinged ‘woke’ progressives from the cities. Trump lost, but Republicans made big gains in the House—whittling down the Democratic majority to just four seats.

Those folks needn’t have moved all the way from Greenfield to Austin, TX. They could have simply moved 150 miles north to Gary. Hotbed of progressive fervor and a short ride on the South Shore to the cultural wasteland of Chicago.

‘Hatred’ is a bit over the top. Not who we are.“

Well it’s who I am. Do you have any idea what these power grabbing, anti-American people have done to the average person in this country? They have taken their livelihoods, their savings, their freedom, their dignity and their sovereignty. Biden and Pelosi have led the greatest terrorist attack to ever strike American soil.

Watching Tucker is bad for my blood pressure. I do 5-10 minutes at a time and then change the channel.

That is primarily how the 2020 elections were corrupted and how Newsome “won” the recall — corrupt votes.

That would imply Newsom was also elected fraudulently. Not buying that, no sale.

And I forgot, they have indoctrinated our children with CRT in the educational system, convinced them that LGBQT is normal.

Hatred isn’t strong enough.

Good, about time they realize how loved they are.

It’s the same with us Trump supporters here in the SF Bay Area. The secret signal is an American flag 🇺🇸 on our homes.

Back before the Rona thing, I used to watch Tucker and Laura on youtube on my commute every morning. I rarely see them now, but I’m exposed to them enough to know they are an excellent professional juxtaposition against the CNN amateurs like Stelter and Lemon. It is quite comical.

It's becoming apparent that the Democrats built in a nominal 6% vote fraud margin into key races over the years. Trump shocked the political Establishment when he beat the margin of fraud in 2016. In 2020, the Democrats learned from their mistakes and were ready to push the margin of fraud to whatever it took to win. The amount of fraud required to push Biden over the top became to huge to hide. Republicans have caught on and they are pissed and motivated. Independents are catching on and Biden's utter destruction of the US economy and civic life are alienating them. Democrats, most of whom are fully aware of the fraud even if they wont’ admit it, are hurting and many are thinking “what have we done”. Taking America down a few notches may sound good in academic break rooms and limo liberal salons, but it ain't fun to live in the world you create when you destroy your country. Democrat dirt bags have been insulated from the consequences of their policies until now, but even the elite are now getting hammered in Biden's America. They don't like it. The Democrats are going to pay at the polls this fall,at least in part because Republicans are getting serious about vote fraud at the grass roots levels.

It is nothing compared to the hatred for Rural America in Democrat circles.

Much ado about nothing. We’ve got the rural areas. We might be able to peel off the suburban housewives with the school closings & mandates.

Your last sentence is spot on. Republicans have been handed the reins many times and they mess it up. They are too concerned about reaching across the isle. Dems don’t do that and neither should we.

I think repubs left in blue areas feel the same way, esp if they supported Trump.

The real story, is how the dem/DNC machine are pushing out true progressives and anti-war liberals. I don’t know where they will end up, but given Tucker is the only news outlet that will even interview them, says everything.

They've earned every bit of it.

Barack Obama won 875 counties nationwide in his overwhelming 2008 victory. Twelve years later, Biden won only 527.

And yet we are told that Pedo Joe's 81 million votes were the most ever in a presidential election. How did that happen again?

Biden overcame rural losses to beat Trump in 2020 because of gains in more populous Democratic counties.

Biden lost 348 counties but made up for it with urban votes, significantly more even than 0bama got? Uh, no he didn't. Somebody had a thumb firmly on the scale and nobody wants to admit it.

Thanks for posting the facts again, Bill. Dear FBI, we know that you read everything here...I know personally that you do. So, what are you going to do about all of this Biblical hatred? Huh?

You don't have the manpower to go and visit all of us, since the vast majority are not a member of any group that I know of so you can't find us at meetings of any kind, not even for the NRA. So, none of the "One riot one Ranger" crap. Your biggest fear is that somehow, a leader will rise up to rally all 90-150 million of us all at once and then YOU fellas will be on trial and actually face accountability for not stopping all of this.

You can come and visit me and stomp all over me (I honestly, really don't care.) and it won't do you one bit of good because I'm not a member of ANY group that interests you (except church where most of you don't even go and they don't allow political discussion anyway). Well, where does that leave you fellas? Hmm??? You know that what I've written is the truth. How are you going to handle this? The funny thing is that it looks like the resolve of Canadians may actually be getting the whole process started.

What are you going to do next? It is becoming "Whack a mole." for you, isn't it? The BASIC premise of the entire problem is that the Democrats STOLE the election. It is obvious that they did and YOU fellas at the FBI approved of it and did nothing to investigate, reveal it, charge the folks involved, try them and imprison them for attempted overthrow of the government and ALLOWED them to overthrow the government. I guess there will be no consequences.
