He lost all credibility with the phrase “Constitutionl Democracy.” If he doesn’t understand that we have a “Constitutional Republic,” his entire argument has no foundation in reality.

All the other moron academics as well.

ACADEMIC (ak-uh-DEM-ik): An individual educated beyond his intelligence who is unwilling or unable to create or provide anything of value to others, who while hiding out in a think-tank, college or university pontificates and expects to be paid for it, usually from public funds.

"Dems are angry, miserable at times violent individuals."

What you need to do is avoid looking them in the eye. If you do that, they start hooting and fly into a rage, and begin pommeling and biting you.. Strange Creators these demoncrats...

What a vile human being. He would have a made a commissar in Stalinist Russia. Thomas Schaller needs to go to a rural bar and school the kulaks. I am sure he will find the “white rage” he is looking for.

And that’s why there’s a Second Amendment.

The only reason we have a second amendment is we are a Republic not a Democracy. The founders new that a majority rule Democracy was the worst system ever devised and established a Republic.

I wish politicians on our side, if there are any, would quit using the term democracy unless they explain the difference. In a Democracy your rights are determined by the majority in a Republic the Majority decisions are limited by a Constitution. The Constitution is only protection if laws are enforced and today they clearly are not.

Although these do not apply to all rural white people, nor exclusively to them in general, when compared with other Americans, rural white people:

– Express the most racist, least inclusive, most xenophobic, most anti-LGBTQ+ and most anti-immigrant sentiments.

Yep.

– Subscribe at the highest rates to conspiracy theories about QAnon, the 2020 presidential election, Barack Obama’s citizenship and COVID-19 vaccines.

Yep

– Support a variety of antidemocratic and unconstitutional positions and exhibit strong attachments to white nationalist and white Christian nationalist movements inimical to secular, constitutional governance.

Yep.

– Are most likely to justify, if not call for, force or violence as acceptable alternatives to deliberative, peaceful democracy.

Nope. That's what liberals do.

Tough grader on papers. He doesnt accept anything less than perfection, and the average grades were a 75%. Pop quizzes are common, but easy if you did the reading. Lastly, if you are coming into this class as a conservative youre going to have a bad time. Im a centrist though, so nothing bothered me.

Professor Schaller is nice and enthusiastic. The material of his course is very substantive. However, he makes his personal bias and opinions clear, and they influence the way he teaches. If you have a different set of ideological leanings, you might feel uncomfortable in his class. Also, he is a very difficult and nitpicky grader.

Every.single.Roman General, 2000 years ago, knew that if he he had better return to Rome with the loot-or his neck would be in a noose.

Its that simple. The American Leadership idiots have yet to figure out that basic human math-and at least figuratively so far-their necks are in a noose.

The American Elite are the most arrogant of human leaders in all of human history; they think and act as if the basic laws of human behavior have no application to them. They think they can survive this by upping the ante here at home.

Oregon is outlawing farming on your own property.
California is breaching dams and destroying property.

If that doesn’t work, they get BLM to burn you out of your house then harass your homeless butt in a parking lot sleeping in a car!

Sick of this crap!
