When your only option is to lie, it demonstrates low IQ.

“Their rage—stoked daily by Republican politicians and the conservative media—now poses an existential threat to the United States.”

In order to “explore” the issue, they give it an inflammatory name: “white rage”. Then they proceed to insult in various ways, the group they mean to examine.

The purpose is clear:

1 - Confirm that it’s ok to hate white people. White people are the source of most problems.

2 - Incite members of the target group and hope that they do something stupid.

How can anyone undermine democracy when there is no such thing? And I’m not talking about the “constitutional republic” shibboleth. We’ve lived under an oligarchy for quite some time and this is the monster that rural whites are opposed to. Isn’t it a good thing that rural whites seek to undermine the oligarchic Deep State?

Could this be two self-loathing Jews that also hate Israel?

Paul Krugman, an economist who is never right.

Due to race based gerrymandering it is arguable that Black are the ones with the outsized representation…

now poses an existential threat to the United States.
//////
now poses an existential threat to the job security of the top floors of all government agencies and especially the three letter agencies.

as well the soft science departments of american universities will be defunded via federal government refusal to provide loans for students applying for these degrees.

That fixes it.

More Leftist confusion that the Right takes in hook, line, and sinker.

The Threat to The American REPUBLIC

American Patriots are the threat to tyranny of Leftist LYING TERM, "democracy", which America is NOT.

The Left is the REAL threat to the America and her Free Constitutional Republic, the TRUE TERM the Left will NEVER use to describe America's true and legal character.

The Left LOVES unlimited government like we have now and HATES the Constitution and the de-centralized governance of our REPUBLIC, our bulwark of freedom, which the Left also hates.

Let's face it. The Left and their satanic minions HATE you and would like to kill you. That is what is really going on here. The spirit of antichrist continually attacking and trying to destroy those (us/we) in whom the Spirit of the Lord dwells. It is a spiritual battle and the battle is the Lord's. Let's get in agreement with Him and win this thing.

I am in the process of moving to a “white rural area” from a crowded suburban area where there are very few ‘white’ faces these days & the attitudes are generally sullen/hostile. Believe me, the white rural area is a breath of fresh air - virtually everyone is friendly, helpful, doesn’t mind stopping for a chat. If the grocery shelves go empty, almost everyone has room for a garden & a couple of chickens, plus there are larger beef & poultry farms, even a goat farm in the area. The white rurals won’t go hungry & we’re far enough away from the cities & their ‘burbs that when people flee due to no food, fuel, etc., we are far enough ‘out there’ that they won’t end up on our front porch.

I don’t see ‘rage’ unless you’re doing something like rustling cattle, stealing chickens, shooting someone’s hound.

Most of the food and fuel comes “white rural rage” country. Shame to have empty grocery shelves and empty gas pumps in the big cities.

When the word "re-imagining" appears, you can be confident the author is engaged in fantasy mental masturbation. The left is full of mush heads with that world outlook. The rural white population prefers the Constitutional Representative Republic not the communist mobocracy/democracy pushed by the left. The left an anxious to gut the Electoral College system that protects the representative republic from the mobocracy of the big cities.

“Their rage—stoked daily by Republican politicians and the conservative media—now poses an existential threat to the United States.”

This is true.

I went for a Sunday drive in the countryside and people were blocking the road. When I stopped I realized in was a bunch of enraged rural white people, had no idea what they were angry about.

Next thing I knew they pulled me out of the car and beat me with ax handles until I was dead.

So learn your lesson from me...don’t go on Sunday drives in the countryside or the white people will kill you.
