'I Feel Like We're on the Run': The Hatred for Democrats in Rural America Has Reached Biblical Levels
Townhall.com ^ | 02/17/2022 | Matt Vespa

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.

I just read a story on NPR about a progressive family that moved from rural Indiana because they were “uncomfortable” among so many Trump supporters. Some bad people even put broken glass in their mailbox!

FWIW they went to Austin Texas to find happiness.

They brought it on themselves. I have no sympathy.

Total baloney. There are numerous videos on youtube alone showing Democrat supporters chasing and beating Trump supporters. One of the worst is when the young boy was chased down and beaten during a protest. All on video.

But hey, the poor Democrats have never even had a little pushback till now. So maybe their frail egos can’t handle this newfound pressure.

Even with all the cheating and fraud produced and directed by the lying deceitful Democrats, it’s a safe bet they get annihilated come the midterms.

‘Hatred’ is a bit over the top. Not who we are.
But I’d be happy to give them bus fare to somewhere else.

I despise Democrat proggy trash with a radiant, sun-hot passion.

If you are not steeped in the MSM message and actually do watch people like Tucker, the democrats seem steeped in absolute lunacy.

Trump didn’t lose.

This is people in all areas of the federal government attempting to downgrade America to just another third world shit hole.
The same way they dumb down children in federally controlled schools.
Instead of trying to smart’n up the dummies.
The same way they are allowing in non English speaking,uneducated illegals to replace actual citizens.

Really? You don't hate those who hate America, hate freedom of speech, hate your religion, hate your monuments, hate the Constitution, hate your skin color, your institutions, hate your holidays, and hate the entire capitalist system?

Maybe that's the problem....

What goes around comes around.

Feels really different when the shoe is on the other foot, eh?

Not advocating violence.
..but won’t be picked off in small groups either.
Which is basically how they operate.
I’m ready and willing to go there ..if they keep pushing.

Here’s the comment I left on the t0wnhall site:

“Kristi Wilson • a few seconds ago
Slight correction: Trump didn’t lose the election - the election was stolen from the voters via fraud. Otherwise good piece. Yes, we certainly stand poised for some decisive wins in November. But you know the Republicans. They’ll find a way to eff it all up if they can.”

Mind, absolutely nothing will happen if mailin voting or harvesting is allowed. That is primarily how the 2020 elections were corrupted and how Newsome “won” the recall — corrupt votes.

If mailin or harvesting is allowed, the commie trash in charge will cement their stranglehold and what Merkle’s little girlfriend up North is doing is nothing to what Jan 2023 will be like.

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.

Want to stop being hated? Stop doing and advocating hateful policies. [eyeroll] They’re just mad because they want to do what they want to do and have people like it. Sorry. Choose only one.
