Why ‘White Rural Rage’ Is a Threat to American Democracy

Bucks County Beacon ^ | April 8, 2024 | Thomas F. Schaller, University of Maryland

[I want the USA back]

Translation.
Rural White people are realizing what is happening, and they just might get off their couches and vote the democrats out of office.
Rural White people are sick of being taken for granted, and as cash cows whose earnings are taken and then wasted in a vain attempt to achieve "equal outcomes."
Rural White people must be stopped because they just might defend themselves against the violence that is directed against them and approved of by the democrats.
Rural White people must be demonized now, and we must find a way to invalidate their votes before November.

“American democrazy” is a myth. There is no such thing as an “American democrazy”. America is a REPUBLIC! All of us who paid attention in middle school, knew that. We also know that a REPUBLIC is an organized government while a “democrazy” is a sh*thouse mob who likes to block roads and bridges when they get a wild hair up their “love machine.”

I notice the left has to fabricate *crimes* for white, rural people to commit to vilify them.

Because they don’t commit any real ones.

[FlingWingFlyer]

For the last couple of years, the RATS’ “democrazy” has been nothing more than a hate filled, baby killing LYNCH MOB. You can take that to the bank.

Wow. Your United States history sucks!

The United States of America is and has always been a republic.

“Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?”
“A Republic, if you can keep it.” - Benjamin Franklin - close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, when queried as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberation.

Democrats ALWAYS accuse the right of what they do themselves.

Why Democrats Hate Anyone Who Disagrees With Them

[SkyDancer]

We’re not a democracy so there is no threat.

“according to polls from the Public Religion Research Institute in 2021 and the University of Chicago Institute of Politics in 2022.” Who are these people and who pays them? My question.

[Rifleman]

Reads like something from Der Sturmer. I wonder if the author knows this or he just has the self awareness of a bowl of cold oatmeal?

[lightman]

Pennsylvania Ping!

Please ping me with articles of interest.

FReepmail me to be added to the list.

Buck County is a Phillyburb...hardly "rural"!

“Rural white voters have long enjoyed outsize power in American politics.” Not in Illinois, New York, or California.

[unlearner]

Putrid meat-puppet spawns of Satan masquerade as academics while plotting genocide against whites... especially white, Christian men.

Those who vote for more tax should be taxed.
Those who vote for gun confiscation should have their guns taken.
Those who vote for tyranny should be enslaved.
Those who vote for genocide should be executed.

[LegendHasIt]

Not “Democracy”; DEMOCRATcy.

Besides, as everyone here already knows: America is a Constitutional Representative Republic. (Or at least it is supposed to be)

[IYAS9YAS]

White rural people = Kulaks. Prepare accordingly.

[BraveMan]

Thomas F. Schaller needs a broader brush . . .

[Eleutheria5]

Why would this ever see print in Bucks County, PA? Lots of white rural people there. Are they supposed to be chastised and go sit in a corner?

Stop threatening demoncrazy, you crackers./s

[Noumenon]

They have no idea what “white rural rage” is all about. But they will.

"Thomas F. Schaller is Professor of Political Science at University of Maryland, Baltimore County."

I NEVER would have guessed. Not in a million years.

I doubt this guy and his ilk have ever set foot in a rural area, seen where their energy comes from where their food comes from and what those folks are like. But they know ALL about them.

It is laughable when they accuse rural folk of being "undemocratic." This from the liberals who brought us 10 million illiterate diseased people including lots of probably terrorists from all over the world, who want to pack the Supreme Court, who want to abolish the Electoral College, who want to add DC and PR as new states, who try to remove Trump from the ballot, who have subjected Trump to kangaroo court after kangaroo court so they can scream "you don't want to vote for a Convicted Felon," who set up and PAID for the ridiculous "Russia" collusion hoax, who have obliterated the rule of law.

Just who is trying to destroy the USA? It isn't rural folks who believe in God, Guns, the Consituttion, and the Rule of Law.

[GrumpyOldGuy]

Is this some sort of weird parody? Gaslighting? Rural America hasn’t wielded much power for well over100 years. Rural America is the forgotten child because of population density.
