“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.”
Schaller exposes the truth about Dim claims of a “threat to democracy”. The reality is quite the opposite. It is all about voters excersizing their democratic rights who pose a threat to the Dim, Progressive, Leftist agendas - not a threat to “democracy”.

You are correct. Everyone must be demonized, that is all they have. Lord help us, we are in very deep kimchi.
To: packagingguy
The flyover farmers are the very reason we are a Republic. So Joe would just as soon the rural folks just sit down, shut up and not have no say in this country’s governance.

A threat to Democracy by voting for the guy leading Biden in the polls. A guy whose Biden’s handlers are trying to imprison and also keep off of ballots in a perverted way of “defending democracy” by eliminating valid candidates by ballots.

Deja vu all over again. In the 19th century most Americans were white rural Christians and they were a big threat to the Democracy. In fact, under the aegis of the Union army, they defeated it in the War of 1861-1865.

“They [rural voters] are the most anti-gay, xenophobic in the country. QAnon support and subscribers, COVID denialism, Obama birtherism . . . 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 . . .[and] they’re most likely to excuse or justify violence as acceptable.”
Wow, the guy has it backwards and upside down. 98% of the political violence in recent years has come from the left. Conservatives are more likely than lefties to support checks-and-balances and limitations on presidential power. "White Christian nationalists" is a concept with no fixed meaning. Relatively few conservatives pay any attention to QAnon or the Obama birth issue, and they are more than offset by lefties with conspiracy theories of their own.
It is the left that is trying to shut down free speech and force conservative journalists out of business. Opposition to mass illegal immigration does not make you "zenophobic." (My own girl friend is a legal immigrant from the Philippines, and the most pro-Trump guy I know is married to a Japanese woman.) As for "Covid denialism," what does that even mean? That conservatives [correctly] had reservations about the safety or effectiveness of the vaccines? That they thought the dangers of Covid were overstated? That they criticized aspects of the shutdowns as unnecessary or ineffective?
The only true thing the man says is that rural conservatives tend to be anti-gay, but the left is anti-Christian, so which is worse? Hundreds of Christian churches have been vandalized by lefties in recent years, so who is the biggest threat?

Morning Joe is a wannabe Tyrant. He’d help load rural people onto the cattle cars.

They keep trying to throw shade at normal Americans, but then they go and compliment them as the strongest white Christian nationalists

What, people aren’t buying the BS narratives being promoted by the leftist media? Racism! Anti-democratic! The sky is falling!
To: packagingguy
The hypocrisy is so great with these folks it’s hard to believe that their (small) audience doesn’t get turned off (at least some of the time).

At least they acknowledged there is poor infrastructure and little economic opportunity.
I lived outside the ring counties around Philly and moved to Northwest PA, outside Erie. Erie is the fourth larges city in PA. Few of our neighbors have cable TV. Plenty of dirt roads. I can go about 2 miles in any direction and lose cell service. Our township has no police....coverage is by the state police.
Every year the rural areas get a little poorer, the number of kids in schools a little smaller and the grocery stores are closing.
They look around at how other folks live and wonder out loud how we can afford Ukraine and illegals and EV’s and solar power and all the other stuff Washington seems to be pissing money away on.

Soon she will be calling for the roundup, imprisoning in concentration camps, and mass extermination of those alleged threats to the country.

These people just cannot co-exist. Without rural people, cities would have no food, no fuel, no metals, no energy...NOTHING. They can sit hungry and cold in their dark cubicles wondering why their Wizards of Finance screens are all dark.
Why is the Hate-God, Hate-America, Baby-murdering, Hate ALL WHITES, black is good, soft-on-crime, pervert-loving, pedophile-loving crowd living in densely packed cities so holier than thou? Why do they think they are so righteous? Who the heck anointed them as arbiters of what is good? They are the most unabashed, purely evil people in the entire country.
Rural folk love their neighbors, love America, love their communities, look after their families, honor the sanctity of life, want to be left alone, want to be able to defend themselves, praise and worship God, want perversion crushed, and want GOVERNMENT OUT OF THEIR LIVES.
Those characteristics sure do scare these insane and disgusting liberal kooks.

“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.Total lie.
Made up.
A fable.
A fib.
A product of a fetid imagination.
It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing true.
An elitist view of people below their class as racist as any 19th Century European.
Reductio ad absurdum.

Why is the quality of life so much better than urban blue states? It’s because we don’t fall for woke BS spewed by guys like this.

Yep. The Decoder ring still works. For “Democracy” just substitute “Our Power” and everything makes perfect sense.

Their Uber driver, the pool cleaner at their postage-stamp-sized Swamp McMansions, Amazon delivery dude, guy who slaps their tuna at the airport Subway, airline pilot, import service guy ... they. all. voted. for. Trump.
Twice.
And primed to do it again in November.
Ya'll enjoy that book tour ... you two sure do look like an unhappy married couple LOFL ...
