Don’t forget Mugabe and his ideological heir Leticia.

Well, all this “information” just gives support to the fact that “Rural People” are one heck of a lot smarter then the city demonrats.. :)

This sounds like a narrative in search of supporting data

Me too. I don’t think there will be any mass deportations either.

It’s such a political firestorm, no one wants to be the one to pull the trigger on that...even Trump, I suspect.

But all of these mass shooters typically come from urban and suburban areas.

There’s virtually zero mass shooters who are from the sticks, but they’re the ones we have to worry about? GTHO.

You know who I worry most about? People in suits with super-clean shoes. I don’t trust those people. And they’re the ones who start all the wars.

This is laughable. Except for the fact that they are ginning up reasons for the rest of the population to fear us & to be happy when extraordinary (& unconstitutional) actions are taken against us.

In a Pew Research Center poll conducted in 2018, 46% of white rural Americans said it is important to live in a diverse community.


And what portion of the other groups define a ‘diverse community’ the same way.

And what portion of those that don’t say that it is important to live in a diverse community, would say it is specifically better to live in a non-diverse community. How many of those that don’t say actually care who else lives in their community as long as they aren’t direct problems?

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


That may have been in the past, but more recently it has become more clear that they are being trafficked here to do the voting that Americans won’t do - and to manipulate the apportionment in the House.

CONSPIRACISM rural dwellers are more likely to believe conspiracy theories - ... 49% of rural residents – 10 points higher than the national average – believe a “deep state” undermines Trump...
believe the 2020 election was stolen from Trump...
less confident... that votes will be counted accurately and fairly

Conspiracy Theory visual aids:

As the saying goes; I need a new conspiracy theory, all the ones I knew were all true.

Keep in mind, the Covid vaccine was rendered safe by the election of Joe Biden. Prior to that, it was unsafe.

How to write an essay showing you have no idea why or how our Constitutional Republic operates the way it does.
