Cohost Mika Brzezinski asked the pair, “Why are white rural voters a threat to democracy at this point? You would think, looking at Joe Biden and Donald Trump’s background, that the opposite would be true.”
Schaller replied that they “lay out the fourfold interconnected threat that white rural voters pose to the country,” in their new book. “They are the most anti-gay, xenophobic in the country. QAnon support and subscribers, COVID denialism, Obama birtherism.”
The author also argued that white rural Americans continue to espouse “anti-democratic sentiments.”
“They don’t believe in an independent press, free speech. They’re most likely to say the president should be backed unilaterally without checks from the courts, and the strongest white Christian nationalists,” Schaller said. “Fourth, they’re most likely to excuse or justify violence as acceptable.”
Schaller argued that this is the case due to the “problematic education systems,” “poorer infrastructure” and “a lack of economic opportunity” in rural areas of the country.
“That kind of left them open to someone like Donald Trump who would come along and tell them something that was true, that there is a system that has not served them well,” Schaller said.

Uhh ... The Left is the side that has been squashing any speech they declare is "disinformation" or "misinformation" and has been banning writers they disagree with.
They’re most likely to say the president should be backed unilaterally without checks from the courts,
You mean like Joe Biden has been ignoring the Constitution and the Supreme Court? I have not heard a single conservative asking for unilateral power for the President.
and the strongest white Christian nationalists,”
Now that's a good thing. A moral society instead of a wicked, perverted one. The left promotes non-white Satanic nationalists.
“Fourth, they’re most likely to excuse or justify violence as acceptable.”
Just like the riots across the country where BLM and ANTIFA ran wild, burning cities and seizing other cities as their own nations. What is this guy smoking?
“Soon she will be calling for the roundup, imprisoning in concentration camps, and mass extermination of those alleged threats to the country.”
I think this is where it’s all going. They are saying, in essence, that certain categories of people represent such a threat something must be done about them.
Right now they are trying to justify in their minds why they need to “take care” of certain groups of people.
There’s a reason why Loudoun County, Virginia is the richest county in the USA....and it has a lot to do with DC.
So many lies in so few words.
However much you hate the media, it isn’t enough
Well, here I am. Your move.
For leftists, *democracy* isn’t about the people. It’s about what the leftist cabal which is running things wants to control.
So if you vote in opposition to them, you are a threat to *democracy*.
Meanwhile, they are a threat to the Constitutional Republic that this country is.
That again ...
Its disgraceful the way these elites talk and treat the poor working class and fellow Americans. To think that just a few decades ago, talk like this would have been rightfully called out as uncaring and bigoted, but now is a major dem party talking point on a mainstream media outlet.
Do these people like to eat?
To preserve our democracy, we obviously need to stop people from voting.
Never waste eyesight on that garbage.
You too? Glad I'm not the only one!

Of course I’m a threat to democracy, I’ve always hated MOB RULE.
The flyover farmers are the reason that the big city libs have good food to eat.
