Or, a pinhead at the epicenter of Leftist antiConstitutional thought in our country

It’s always “a threat to democracy” to have any segment of the population not voting the way the Left wants...this is just the latest subset they like to label.

Dems are angry, miserable at times violent individuals.

It’s not just the projection, it’s the complete lack of inventory of enjoying a happy, prosperous, peaceful life.

They have zero basis beyond their own misery.

PS I want to thank you again for bringing interesting material to the site on a regular basis. You do a great job. Keep up the good work.

I’m mostly a city boy but have always gotten along fine with my rural counterparts. Maybe just because I have basic commonsense.

They have inflated voting power in the U.S. Senate,

If that was true, there would never be less than 55 Republicans in the Senate. The rest of this author's story just goes downhill from there. Good thing this is a web-site and not a paper magazine, because the amount of wasted paper would be an affront to Mother Gaia.

Fabricating “white supremacists” is a pre-emptive shot across the bow of any who disagree with the loss of our country; the Great Replacement is very real, is occurring in front of our very eyes (so obvious even urban blacks are started to rise against it), and the “white” response (withdrawing from society, foregoing families and jobs) is causing serious issues - the host community that was to support the Thirdworlders financially is disappearing quickly.

It becomes more clear that they are trafficked here to serve the 1%ers when white Americans are increasingly absent from the workforce.

And that’s why there’s a Second Amendment.

Can you imagine the outcry if such a racist article was written about blacks, hispanics or Asians.

Kind of reminds me of National Socialist (Nazi) labeling of the European Jews 90 years ago. Label your enemy, spread ugly lies and suspicion and fear about them day and night through all means of communication or spheres of influence. Then turn up the heat over time, unrelenting until your street thugs start violence when a boiling point is tripped. Problem is, although the rural white folk are spread out (can be a weakness or strength) they are armed, to the teeth. Therefore the never ending push to eliminate gun ownership in America is the only real way to reduce their defense. That is key, and the totalitarians know that. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc. all the same. Take away the right of private ownership of guns, and you can do what you want with your population, especially those who are your “enemies” of the State.

This is the same sort of thinking that prompted Stalin to starve Ukraine.

‘White rural rage’ might be a threat to those who want to use ‘tyranny of the majority’ to force their will on others. These are the people who want to import voters, illegally, to stack the electoral deck in their favor.

That said, we are a Republic, and the founders created a Republic to protect us from tyranny.

It’s not a conspiracy if they really are after you.

Bucks County? You mean that once-rural enclave libs flocked into in order to escape the collapsed societies they created in the cities?

Wait until Trump starts the mass deportations.

The moonbats howling racist, white supremacist, fascist etc....will make what we’ve endured thus far seem like a stroll in the park.

This is the Bolshevik playbook; they did it in Russia in 1918, China in 1948, Eastern Europe during the Soviet occupation. Single out the prosperous farmers, seize their land, then dispose of them and replace them with communal farms where the lowly can be put to work seven days a week for a leaky roof and some hot porridge. Then the “elites” can use whatever money is extorted from the people who actually work so they can stock their “special” stores that only they can access. The author is some pinhead academic at a state funded school who has probably not had a real job in his life, an overpaid, underworked pinhead who absorbs our tax money, pontificating about things of which he knows nothing, throwing names at the actual producers and making threats they cannot enforce.
