“Tom, I’ll start with you,” began Mika Brzezinski. “Why are rural white voters a threat to democracy at this point?”
Fastball delivered, University of Maryland professor and co-author of just-released White Rural Rage: The Threat To American Democracy Tom Schaller took a swing. He and Mika first complained rural voters should be supporting Joe Biden, given his roots — you’d have to be pretty high to call Scranton “rural,” but whatever — then Schaller read off small town America’s charge sheet: rural whites, he said, are the most “racist,” “xenophobic,” “anti-immigrant and anti-gay,” “conspiracist,” “anti-democratic,” they “don’t believe in an independent press or free speech,” and are “most likely to accept or excuse violence,” for starters.
White Rural Rage, which I made the mistake of reading, is a vicious manifesto in the anti-populist tradition nailed by Thomas Frank in The People, No. When rural voters in the late 1800s defied New York banking interests and demanded currency reform to allow farmers an escape from one of the original “rigged games” in finance, relentless propaganda ensued. Rural populists were depicted as dirty, bigoted, ignorant. They refused expert wisdom, represented a “frantic challenge against every feature of our civilization,” and waged a “shameful insurrection against law and national honesty.” A populist caricature in Judge magazine showed a violent, destructive idiot, a real-life Lennie from still-unwritten Of Mice and Men, .....

Nobel-winning columnist Paul Krugman of the New York Times spent the last year telling “ignorant” Middle America its negative feelings about the economy are “demonstrably false,” because despite what their bank accounts or home evaluations might say, “Bidenomics is still working very well.” When White Rural Rage came out this week he rushed to review it, the intransigent refusal of yokels to accept his wisdom being his favored current hobby horse.

The percentage is astronomical…
Krugman and the potential necessity to remove him is the reason for the Second Amendment
White liberal 'elties' love illegals because they want a servant class on the cheap. Think 'slaveryLite'. Creepy Krugman's showing his true colors.
How would Krugman 'feel' if a million journalists from some foreign country came here and were willing to work for ten bucks an hour in newsrooms across the country? Then not only taking Krugman's job and the jobs of his friends, but also raping the mothers and daughters of friends - - of Klugmans' friends?
My suggestion?
Send 3000 illegals to Krugman's neighborhood. Throw in some MS13 thugs - and a sprinkling of Venezuelan street gangs. And remove the kiddie whore houses from his area that 'elites' use. (Sorry Krugman, but raping a 6 year old costs a lot of money because the kids 'spoil' quickly - so kiddie whore houses are for 'elites' - do the math Krugman)
Walk in your own city Krugman - no one wants illegals here except 'slaveryLite' sickos like YOU. You want cheap kitchen help so the places you eat at for $300 a plate will suck up to YOU.
Legal immigration - YES. Illegals? NO. Blacks and Hispanics want the border closed too. Illegals are hurting all of us - well, all of us below the creepy white liberal 'elite' class.
I’ve never acknowledged Krugman, or Galbraith, as real economists. It’s ok to venture outside standard economics, but it’s just not economics. The same goes for Karl Marx. His “labor theory of value” was simply wrong. The mountain of anti-capitalism hate he built upon his faulty foundation was not economics. These men get their celebrity status as leftists, not as economists.
I think Art Laffer’s curve was a positive addition to economics. Supply-side economics is no worse than the Demand side emphasis of J.M. Keynes. Why not consider both supply and demand? What could be more obvious to an economist?
In general, macro-economics is speculative. The same goes for cosmology (physics) and evolution (biology). It’s ok to speculate. Just know that you are speculating. From time to time, tell others that it’s just speculation.
Misses was a great economist. He could barely keep a job as he was opposed to socialism. Left-wing frauds receive the plaudits, awards, titles, and high-paying jobs. A recent case in point, Michael Mann.

Indeed!
White Rural Voters demonstrate their rage driven opposition to democracy by setting up all those white racist “straw men”, like scarecrows in a field. Funny how these leftist mental patients don’t likewise rage against their own “racist,” “xenophobic,” “anti-immigrant and anti-gay,” “conspiracist,” “anti-democratic,” scarecrows constantly, ad nauseam? Oh yeah! I guess they actually do.
Libs are such liars.
“don’t believe in an independent press or free speech,”
So it must be enraged rural whites that are running places like Google, Facebook and the FBI. That explains a lot.
a pogrom is a pretty reasonable extreme case for what we are seeing. it could take years/decades, a change of system of government, and extreme economic/social stress before it reaches that point.
but the pervasive, orchestrated anti-white stuff should alarm everyone. it is being taught from grade school up and integrated into corporate and government policies pretty openly despite being theoretically illegal.
but tell a german jew in 1913 how jews will be doing in 1923, 1933, and 1943 and I can only assume most would believe it to be beyond absurd to even suggest such things.
it is, in the end, a rather novel solution to the age-old problem of having a population that will not suffer your team to remain in control after completely wrecking the currency/ecomomy. get a new population!
More libs once again calling people “deplorables” that dont vote for them because they treat them bad. And then smear them.
