We’re not a democracy because democracy leads to socialism which leads to the collapse of the system
Democracies have historically never lasted more than 200 years
Our Founding Fathers knew this.

I don’t believe there will be “mass deportations”; maybe some cherrypicked bad characters, but the truth is that much of this country would be empty without transplanting Thirdworlders here - specifically the under-20 demographic. Our elites decided a long time ago they wouldn’t deal with “Japanization” (a shrinking population); they simply traffick an underclass from elsewhere.

More rural residents hold antidemocratic views - ... rural citizens are “much more likely (than urban residents) to favor restrictions on the press” and to say it would be “helpful if the president could unilaterally work” without regard to Congress or the courts. WTF??? Who favors restrictions on the press and want to work without regard to Congress or the courts? That's what Biden's been trying to do his own term.

... and "Black Democrat-Urban Rage" isn't a threat to American Democracy?
I damn well know that "Black Democrat-Urban Rage" is a major threat to civil society ... and to innocent life.

The Left has their new marching orders. Expect to hear more of this as their attempt at further Balkanization continues.
It is their intention to destroy America in the tragically mistaken belief that they will be able rule over the warring tribes.

“Rural white voters have long enjoyed outsize power in American politics.”
I don’t know where to start! We have Power??
This government has taken our water, burned us out, won’t allow us to use our own land!
We’ve been fighting them 30 years! Not one incident of violence on our part.
Not one!
The propaganda is like this all over the web against us who are being DESTROYED by leftist extremists.

Schaller is living proof that even a colossal, clueless, communist a**hole can become a university “professor.”
No wonder so many left-wing turds graduate from so-called institutions of higher learning these days.

Thank goodness I live in the suburbs.
All I have to worry about is “Suburban Yute Rage”.

Maybe sometime soon, the “enraged,” rural white farmers will refuse to send food to the big cities. Let the left-wing intelligentsia starve this time.

All of this “white rage” bs is a psyop and if you haven’t figured that out yet I don’t know what to tell you.

You sound much like my father. After getting laid off from the company he had been at for many years he returned to farming part-time (when he wasn't pouring his passion into knifemaking, his true calling). Every morning at 5 he would go to a nearby cafe and have breakfast with his fellow farmers.
Some years ago one of the bigger news outlets hired a photographer to spend the day with one of Dad's friends. It was for a story about tobacco farming. The photographer told me later that meeting those people was one of the most satisfying assignments he had ever worked.
