MSNBC political commentator Chris Matthews said Tuesday on “Morning Joe” that debating rural voters over their support for former President Donald Trump was “like fighting terrorism.”
Matthews said, “I tell you, it’s very tough, because people that didn’t go to college have a pretty good rage on their hands. That’s what you really want in an election, is a rage. It can be black rage, or white rage, or rural rage. In this case is rural rage. They are so angry at the liberal establishment, the coastal elite. They look at people on television, they say, ‘Oh, those people on Saturday Night Live those snarling rich kids, I know who they are. They’re all trust funders. They don’t need us, they don’t have to worry about us.’ And the regular guy in the country goes, ‘There they are snarling and making fun of us again.’ And every time we make fun of Trump, we’re making fun of them.”

Most of the people I know have a university education (and almost all are conservative).
All of them are smarter than any lefty.
You keep kicking a dog, don’t be surprised if it bites you.
5 word sentence they cant comprehend: Rich Men North of Richmond
Chrissy, Chrissy, Chrissy.....you have NO IDEA what you’re talking about, but someday you might just get to experience it...first hand.
Looks like MSNBC guessed right in bringing him back,that people have short memories. He was booted off on #MeToo grounds:https://www.thewrap.com/chris-matthews-sexual-harassment-accusation-justified/ but > 60 comments and even Freepers who should be primed to call him out have had it slip through the collective memory. Who are they pulling back out of the septic tank next, Charlie Rose?
6. Is Prissy Chrissy back to drinking again?
Oh, he thinks he knows what ‘terrorism’ would be. But he doesn’t. He and his ilk make the mistake of stereotyping MAGA’ers and southerners as rubes they can ridicule on SNL and in all the comics’ routines and have a big yuk. Keep pushing it and see.
He spoke some truth though.
About Leftists being trust fund urbanites and therefore, out of touch with rural Americans. And that politics is not focused on rural Americans but an elitist minority.
Go to Gaza, fight some terrorists, and then come back and debate some MAGA good ol’ boys. Then tell me if you can still compare the two.
