If you avoid any articles about President Trump (which are chock full of insane TDS) the Atlantic is about as reasonable as lefties can get.

The Pali protestors have really scared them—once they realized that hard core leftists are going after Jews it freaked them out....

It would be like undertaking a book-length study demonizing Irish people, refusing to define what you mean by Irish, and then drawing on studies of native Irish in Ireland, non-Irish immigrants to Ireland, Irish Americans, people who took a 23andMe DNA test that showed Irish ancestry, and Bostonians who get drunk on Saint Patrick’s Day to build your argument about the singular danger of “the Irish.” It’s preposterous.

Well that kills the sociology paper I was working on.

Instead of reckoning with the ugly fact that a threat to our democracy is emerging from right-wing extremists in suburban and urban areas, the authors of White Rural Rage contorted studies and called unambiguously metro areas “rural” so that they could tell an all-too-familiar story about scary hillbillies. Perhaps this was easier than confronting the truth: that the call is coming from inside the house. It is not primarily the rural poor, but often successful, white metropolitan men who imperil our republic.

Hey, I resemble that remark.

More seriously, even the author of this critical review start with the assumption that the right wing is the threat to "Our Democracy"®™ he completely ignores that most of the political (and other) violence is from the left wing. The left was burning down cities, implementing Antifa's authoritarian anarchy, violently taking over part of Seattle to declare an autonomous zone, occupying Wall Street and releasing thousands of criminals and millions of illegals.

A few donkeys are smart enough to realize that hurling insults at this group of people is not a very effective means of ever getting them to trust or vote for you. Most of them are too self righteous and just too damn stupid to do anything else though. So they’ll continue to lash out at anybody who doesn’t vote for them and thus ensure they’ll never be trusted and never be voted for again by that group of people.

Look how lashing out at Southerners has worked out for Democrats over the last 50 years. They used to OWN the South completely after the Republicans covered themselves in chit during the Occupation. Republicans couldn’t win elections there for 100 years. Then Democrats turned more and more and more Leftist ignoring warning after warning from Southerners that this is not what they supported until finally the South started voting against them. Rather than actually learning something from this, Democrats chose to lash out against Southerners thus ensuring their continuing defeat across the entire region. They’re doing it all over again with Rural voters.
