As this critical 2024 presidential election draws closer, the panicked left finds themselves without a candidate even remotely capable of defeating Donald Trump – an inexorable, MAGA juggernaut that the Democrat Party cannot seem to stop no matter how many trumped-up (pun intended) lawsuits and investigations they throw in his path to a second Presidency.
Democrats are saddled with an incumbent so obviously decrepit in body and mind that his supporters can no longer successfully gaslight even themselves into believing he’s a keen-witted dynamo. Their vice-presidential fallback option is a hopelessly incompetent and unpopular Woman of Color™ whose only skill is “failing up.” Long-rumored candidate California Governor Gavin Newsom craves the presidency like a vampire craves blood but is a white man, so he’s out. The Party’s not-so-secret weapon whom many felt sure was going to be the nominee, popular former First Lady Michelle Obama, reiterated this week that she is adamant about wanting nothing to do with political office. So the Democrats’ only hope as an election strategy (apart from widespread voter fraud, of course) is to demonize their opponents – those unwoke, white Deplorables of flyover country – as an existential threat to America and to the idea of democracy itself.
Of course, by “democracy” the left means “permanent Democrat hegemony,” and by “America,” the left means an impotent, borderless, former-superpower-turned-satellite of the European Union and other supranational entities like the World Economic Forum. That is their globalist, totalitarian vision to which Trump is an immovable obstacle.
The left despise, with the heat of a thousand Texas suns, the working class patriots they smear as white supremacists, who refuse to give up on Trump and America. The most blatant current example of their visceral contempt for Trump supporters is a new book with the on-the-nose title White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy. It was written by a pair of white Progressive hatchet men, University of Maryland political science professor Tom Schaller and journalist Paul Waldman (I point out their whiteness because they themselves, like the Democrats generally, see everything through the distorted lens of skin color).
Schaller and Waldman waste no time in the book identifying “rural” and “urban” as the defining major divide in this country, and painting a picture of paranoid, bitter, enraged, Trump-deluded, working class country music fans as existential Enemies of the State. White Rural Rage reeks in every paragraph (yes, I’ve read it) of demagoguery, projection, and a stunning lack of self-awareness.
I won’t bother to sum up the book’s argument because Schaller and Waldman did that ably themselves when they appeared on the propaganda outlet MSNBC to promote White Rural Rage. They leapt immediately into smearing white working class Americans outside the oh-so-sophisticated blue cities as the dregs of our society. In response to a question from Trump-hating Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski, whose face is set in a permanent sneer, Schaller was ready with his talking points explaining why rural whites are “a threat to democracy”:
First, they are the most racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-gay geo-demographic group in the country.
Second, they are the most conspiracist group: QAnon supporters and subscribers, election denialism, COVID denialism, scientific skepticism, Obama birtherism.
Third, anti-democratic sentiments: they don’t believe in an independent press, free speech. They’re the most likely to say the president should be able to act unilaterally without any checks from Congress, or the courts or the bureaucracy. They’re also also the most strongly white nationalist and white Christian nationalist.
And fourth, they are the most likely to excuse or justify violence as acceptable alternative to peaceful public discourse.
The elitist arrogance and projection are breathtaking. Only left-wing ideologues could live in a country ravaged over the last few years by Black Lives Matter rioting, by a dizzying descent into rampant lawlessness and chaos spurred on by Democrat pro-crime policies and prosecutors, by a Biden administration-driven border invasion threatening to overwhelm to turn our cities into Third World hellholes, by widespread campus Jew-hatred fueled by radical academics and taking over the streets, by racial division inflamed by race-hustling elites – and claim that it is white rural voters who are the most violent, racist, anti-democratic threat to America. Would Schaller and Waldman, or anyone on the left, write a book titled Black Urban Rage: The Threat to American Democracy?
White rural voters aren’t anti-immigrant; they’re simply opposed to the madness of an administration that has thrown open our border and abandoned immigration law entirely. They’re not anti-gay; they’re just sick of having gender ideology shoved down their throats and being slammed as bigots for not celebrating every anti-family perversion the left insists we embrace. They’re not anti-democratic; it’s not white rural voters who created cancel culture or who turned the entire mainstream media into a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. And as any conservative speaker on a college campus will tell you, it’s not white rural voters who refuse to engage in peaceful public discourse.
As for COVID denial, we all know now that the vaccine skeptics and mask-resisters who were demonized and ostracized as hateful, anti-science monsters were right from the beginning, and that the pandemic was engineered by globalist greed-mongers for power and profit – just as 2020 “election deniers” were right that Democrats engaged in massive cheating to put their candidate over the top. (Schaller and Waldman have nothing to say, by the way, about the Democrat “election deniers” such as Hillary Clinton who come out in full force when a Republican wins.)
Schaller and Waldman claim that white rural voters have been manipulated into their purported rage by a “right-wing noise machine” and by Republican lawmakers who are really to blame for the legitimate complaints they have against a system that Schaller and Waldman admit has failed them. And it is fair to say that far too many Republican politicians either don’t have the best interests of American patriots at heart or lack the fortitude and character to push back against the leftist agenda.
But the current state of our disunion is not the result of an insidious, anti-democratic, right-wing propaganda machine radicalizing poor whites, but of the left-wing radicalization of the Democrat Party and the left’s full-bore agenda to “fundamentally transform” America as we know it into a permanent, one-party totalitarian state.
The left’s demonization of the working-class, white Americans who have the gall to resist the Progressive agenda at every turn is ugly, destructive, and pushing this country toward open civil war. And they will blame that civil war on the demographic they have been intentionally — and dangerously — provoking.
When they say “democracy” they mean the Democratic Party

First, they are the most racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-gay geo-demographic group in the country.
Over the last 70 years the left have been using the courts to make laws that the citizens do not support, and that is the real evil in America today. The conspiracy of the left and the courts to change our society.
Schaller and Waldman look like a couple of fags.
People who say this kind of thing are enemies of our Constitution and the republic. They need to be invited to go live in Europe.
Second, they are the most conspiracist group: QAnon supporters and subscribers (me), election denialism (me), COVID denialism (me), scientific skepticism (me), Obama birtherism (me). Lucky for me all my conspiracy theories turn out to be true.
This was the standout question for me. If you agree with this every thing bad the left does follows.
Republican, we have a republic, a republican form of governance.
It isn’t that simple. If he is determined to be the candidate best able to give the Bolsheviks what they want, the media will transform him into the greatest Friend of Color the world has ever seen.
But we we are already seeing the early stages of their backup plan - let Trump win in 2024 to prove to the rubes the system is still viable, then backstab him from within and crash the economy on his watch, hoping to force his resignation in disgrace and replacement by a malleable RINO VP. They can then focus on scheduling nonstop The View appearances to get their charismatic savior Newsom the needed level of female adulation before 2028.
Those who control government have already demonstrated they can achieve their goals without a President even being sentient. Trump’s return - though enraging to the Antifa/BLM Small Communists - might actually give the real players some needed cover.
That's a hoot. They always act like white people have wealth and they got it by taking someone else share.
It never occurs to Liberals that white people bust their chops for everything they have ... and they SAVE, until they can afford what they want. They don't stand around with their hand out waiting for taxpayers to provide the necessities of life for them.
I used to work in a factory and when we got a ‘layoff’, which was never a surprise working there, lots of people whined about how they would have to scrape along, until recalled to work.
In the meantime, they all had boats, vans, new cars, took vacations every year and lived on their charge cards, etc. They never saved or looked ahead.
To Liberals, if you have a job, you are ‘rich’.
I’m anti immigration. America stopped importing immigrants for forty years and after the last few lawless years we need to do it again for 80 years.
They have NO IDEA what eagerly awaits them should they attempt to overthrow “rural America”......and they can all go FJB too.
I believe the entire world, but more specifically liberals in the United States do not understand something. The “radical Americans” who the mediacrats are condemning are the norm. The country was founded and our laws apply to its citizens.
Conservatism is the norm. Anyone condemning, arresting and convicting these same conservatives are the true enemy of this country and should be arrested, put before a jury of their peers and convicted on charges of insurrection.
Hopefully, Trump wins and this is how he spends his next four years in office.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
AAAAND THEY’RE JUST TOO DAMN GOOD LOOKING!
Remember, when they say “our democracy,” the “our” doesn’t include anyone who disagrees with them.
It’s “ours, the Left’s,” not “ours, American’s”
The concerns we have as conservatives seem rational and well founded.
What I found striking was the absolute moonbattery in the things they on the Left were and are concerned about.
Trump’s improved polling with Black voters sparks distress among liberal pundits: ‘I hate that storyline’
Actually, I think Trump has Biden exactly where he wants him. Donald Trump has an incredible knack of knowing when to prod someone enough to force an adversary to lose control. He did it with Ted Cruz in 2016, and has done it to many since then. Biden doesn’t need much of a push as he is a senile old man that is held together with stimulants. Anyone that has been there knows that it works for a while, but eventually you will crash and burn because to stay up is unsustainable. Trump is playing with biden like a dog with his food. I think he is trying to get the timing right. He doesn’t want to push him out too soon because the Democrats might actually replace him with a more formidable candidate. So, prick this prick and keeping him jumping, but wait for the right time to send him over the edge.
Egd. The level of pearl clutching has shot through the roof lately.
If.... and that is a big IF, Trump were to beat the DC Cartel and their election fraudsters, prepare for vitriol and violence like you never imagined could happen in a supposed civilized society. You can see it building in the snot-nosed, privileged, little children in the media like Scarborough who grows uglier with anger every day. It is the left who are the violent ones and by the time November gets here, they are going to be so enraged, this will be the hill they are willing to die on.
The NERVE of the little people who refuse to listen to ME!!!
