As this critical 2024 presidential election draws closer, the panicked left finds themselves without a candidate even remotely capable of defeating Donald Trump – an inexorable, MAGA juggernaut that the Democrat Party cannot seem to stop no matter how many trumped-up (pun intended) lawsuits and investigations they throw in his path to a second Presidency.
Democrats are saddled with an incumbent so obviously decrepit in body and mind that his supporters can no longer successfully gaslight even themselves into believing he’s a keen-witted dynamo. Their vice-presidential fallback option is a hopelessly incompetent and unpopular Woman of Color™ whose only skill is “failing up.” Long-rumored candidate California Governor Gavin Newsom craves the presidency like a vampire craves blood but is a white man, so he’s out. The Party’s not-so-secret weapon whom many felt sure was going to be the nominee, popular former First Lady Michelle Obama, reiterated this week that she is adamant about wanting nothing to do with political office. So the Democrats’ only hope as an election strategy (apart from widespread voter fraud, of course) is to demonize their opponents – those unwoke, white Deplorables of flyover country – as an existential threat to America and to the idea of democracy itself.
Of course, by “democracy” the left means “permanent Democrat hegemony,” and by “America,” the left means an impotent, borderless, former-superpower-turned-satellite of the European Union and other supranational entities like the World Economic Forum. That is their globalist, totalitarian vision to which Trump is an immovable obstacle.
The left despise, with the heat of a thousand Texas suns, the working class patriots they smear as white supremacists, who refuse to give up on Trump and America. The most blatant current example of their visceral contempt for Trump supporters is a new book with the on-the-nose title White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy. It was written by a pair of white Progressive hatchet men, University of Maryland political science professor Tom Schaller and journalist Paul Waldman (I point out their whiteness because they themselves, like the Democrats generally, see everything through the distorted lens of skin color).
Schaller and Waldman waste no time in the book identifying “rural” and “urban” as the defining major divide in this country, and painting a picture of paranoid, bitter, enraged, Trump-deluded, working class country music fans as existential Enemies of the State. White Rural Rage reeks in every paragraph (yes, I’ve read it) of demagoguery, projection, and a stunning lack of self-awareness.
I won’t bother to sum up the book’s argument because Schaller and Waldman did that ably themselves when they appeared on the propaganda outlet MSNBC to promote White Rural Rage. They leapt immediately into smearing white working class Americans outside the oh-so-sophisticated blue cities as the dregs of our society. In response to a question from Trump-hating Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski, whose face is set in a permanent sneer, Schaller was ready with his talking points explaining why rural whites are “a threat to democracy”:
First, they are the most racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-gay geo-demographic group in the country.
Second, they are the most conspiracist group: QAnon supporters and subscribers, election denialism, COVID denialism, scientific skepticism, Obama birtherism.
Third, anti-democratic sentiments: they don’t believe in an independent press, free speech. They’re the most likely to say the president should be able to act unilaterally without any checks from Congress, or the courts or the bureaucracy. They’re also also the most strongly white nationalist and white Christian nationalist.
And fourth, they are the most likely to excuse or justify violence as acceptable alternative to peaceful public discourse.
The elitist arrogance and projection are breathtaking. Only left-wing ideologues could live in a country ravaged over the last few years by Black Lives Matter rioting, by a dizzying descent into rampant lawlessness and chaos spurred on by Democrat pro-crime policies and prosecutors, by a Biden administration-driven border invasion threatening to overwhelm to turn our cities into Third World hellholes, by widespread campus Jew-hatred fueled by radical academics and taking over the streets, by racial division inflamed by race-hustling elites – and claim that it is white rural voters who are the most violent, racist, anti-democratic threat to America. Would Schaller and Waldman, or anyone on the left, write a book titled Black Urban Rage: The Threat to American Democracy?
White rural voters aren’t anti-immigrant; they’re simply opposed to the madness of an administration that has thrown open our border and abandoned immigration law entirely. They’re not anti-gay; they’re just sick of having gender ideology shoved down their throats and being slammed as bigots for not celebrating every anti-family perversion the left insists we embrace. They’re not anti-democratic; it’s not white rural voters who created cancel culture or who turned the entire mainstream media into a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. And as any conservative speaker on a college campus will tell you, it’s not white rural voters who refuse to engage in peaceful public discourse.
As for COVID denial, we all know now that the vaccine skeptics and mask-resisters who were demonized and ostracized as hateful, anti-science monsters were right from the beginning, and that the pandemic was engineered by globalist greed-mongers for power and profit – just as 2020 “election deniers” were right that Democrats engaged in massive cheating to put their candidate over the top. (Schaller and Waldman have nothing to say, by the way, about the Democrat “election deniers” such as Hillary Clinton who come out in full force when a Republican wins.)
Schaller and Waldman claim that white rural voters have been manipulated into their purported rage by a “right-wing noise machine” and by Republican lawmakers who are really to blame for the legitimate complaints they have against a system that Schaller and Waldman admit has failed them. And it is fair to say that far too many Republican politicians either don’t have the best interests of American patriots at heart or lack the fortitude and character to push back against the leftist agenda.
But the current state of our disunion is not the result of an insidious, anti-democratic, right-wing propaganda machine radicalizing poor whites, but of the left-wing radicalization of the Democrat Party and the left’s full-bore agenda to “fundamentally transform” America as we know it into a permanent, one-party totalitarian state.
The left’s demonization of the working-class, white Americans who have the gall to resist the Progressive agenda at every turn is ugly, destructive, and pushing this country toward open civil war. And they will blame that civil war on the demographic they have been intentionally — and dangerously — provoking.

America elected this corrupt depraved psychopath as President of the USA.
That in itself tells me where America is, and where it is going.

Kasandra says
If they think rural whites are a threat to them, may I suggest they spend some time in Southeast D.C., Highland Park, MI, the south or west sides of Chicago, almost anywhere in Baltimore, MD, Camden, NJ, East St. Louis, MO, etc. and report back to us on the wonderful time they had there.
Richard Rude says
Kasandra, East St. Louis is in Illinois.
Rob A says
Not only rural whites but also blacks who support Trump. The democrats treat such blacks as dangerous escapees/fugitives from the democrat plantation who must be captured and brought back in chains and brutally whipped until they renounce their independence and freedom of thought and swear allegiance to the democrat party and never again dare think for themselves or defy they’re democrat owners/masters.

“The heat of a thousand Texas suns” That was funny as fuck. I’ve been to Texas and actually lived there. a few times. It isn’t nearly as hot as Southern California, but it gets pretty hot. You can bake your balls off there, that’s for sure. Summers there are nut broilers for sure.

Steve Chavez says
I AGREE! Those MAGA America Firsters have rioted, looted, burnt down cities, attacked all opponents, gotten in the faces of peaceful people strolling and eating, and ambushed and murdered police. They also support anarchy! They Love Crime and demand to Defund the Police.
Those MAGA TRIATORS aid and abet all our enemies and have done so since their Solidarity with the Vietcong, then the takeover of Central America, the Zapatistas, the Castro’s, then Iran’s Mullahs and their terrorist proxies!
If Biden wins, the entire Capitol Hill, White House, and cities across America will be set on fire from the matches and gasoline given to their “peaceful protesters” by the MAGA Insurrectionists!
They’re also America First? So selfish even though so many countries are their Country First, but they’ll help the World First to be fair.
They ARE the Threat to our Democracy!
roberta says
Yeah, they even treat people the way they want want to be treated themselves, and mind their own business.

I could always tell when a Tea Party rally was gathering.
Normal people gathering like mature adults, being cordial with each other & cops, and leaving after a few hours & leaving the place cleaner than when they arrived.
OWS had trust-fund punks who epitomized immaturity, did drugs, formed drum circles, stayed for months because they didn’t work for a living, and tended to riot/attack cops before leaving.
Many turned violent to no one’s surprise.
Hazmat teams had to be hired to clean up afterwards due to feces, urine, dead animals, hypodermic needles, etc.
Yet DNC stenographers (pawning themselves off as journalists) were always expressing how terrified that Tea Party “mobs” would surely erupt into mob violence.
Yet, Tea Party’s never did get violent. (OWS mobs did riot)
Hence, the need to set-up/intentionally provoke Trump supporters on Jan 6th.
Had Nancy’s goons not gratuitously attacked the MAGA patriots on Jan 6th, it would’ve ended like all the other conservative rallies before; with the place cleaner than when they arrived.
David Mu says
No one can say this hatred wasn’t displayed clearly and plainly for all to see. In fact, these people do it almost daily. Yesterday, the Republican running for a position in the country stopped by to ask for my vote. We both speak of this change to the Democratic Party, and it’s now hatred for most Americans who aren’t on the coasts and lack devotion to the goal of the revolution.
I am voting for the Republican. I have no wish for the regime shown by today’s left. And this – Illinois.

When you read or listen to the left you have to wonder not “ARE you insane”, but “HOW INSANE ARE YOU”!! I’ve used many variations of INSANE in most of my comments concerning the left! NORMAL people just don’t think and act like that – they just don’t! Normal people just want to live their lives in peace and safety and without overbearing Government or political party interference! Normal people think the USA in a NATION and we have LAWS that the Police are bound to enforce. Normal people thing that Our President should be the GREATEST Advocate and Enforcer of keeping us SAFE from rampant crimes and ensures a SECURE BORDER! What do we have now? A dementia patient who has no idea what the people around him are doing! He probably doesn’t even know most of the time that the woman wearing upholstery is his wife! It’s sad that he was even installed and even sadder what he’s done! BUT, his people insist he is ROBUST and COMPETENT to LEAD Our Nation but, he is not competent to stand trial for his CONFIRMED CRIMES! Once again, I must invoke “How INSANE are you”!!!
roberta says
You just made a list of the reasons Whitey must be dealt with.
Grace says
Was that meant sarcastically? You might want to indicate if it was.
Nearly 3 years ago, I moved to a rural area in the foothills to a beautiful mountain community. It is a mostly white community, but not exclusively. It is very welcoming to strangers. If, in the unlikely event a crime does occur, or someone falls into misfortune, people freely offer to help out. I saw a woman on Nextdoor post that her firewood had been stolen. Within an hour or so several men had offered to deliver firewood to her at no cost. This is the tone of the area. The town is safe, civil, peaceful, quiet, idyllic, and very civil. The surroundings are breathtaking. I probably don’t thank God enough for having been so fortunate as to end up living in a place like this. This is what real America is like and the Democrats hate us for it.
So… you think we must be “dealt with”?
David Ray says
Don’t post where you’re at! A Soros paid basement bitch will pass that knowledge to the current puppet regime.
Back when jug-eared Barry was in the White House, the prick stuffed muslims in a quiet town in Idaho.
Decades of the behavior you described, came under seige as muslims began committing rapes & other crimes 24/7.
When the original citizens voiced their concern, B. Hussein’s activist AG (Loretta Lynch) threatened the residents with “hate crimes”.
F jug-eared Barry.

Domenic Pepe says
What worries me is that more than half of the American electorate voted for the depraved psychopathic
liar Biden.
This means that at least half of the US population is also berserk.
More than half of American citizens are the enemy of America and the other half of citizens.
Mexico is also the enemy of America and all US citizens, since Mexico is responsible for the murder of over 100,000 US citizens every year. Mexico is also sponsoring encouraging facilitation and implementing the INVASION of America by hordes … by millions of illegal aliens.
And of course, everybody knows that China is the enemy of America and US citizens.
I can also name numerous other enemies of America and US citizens.
With all these enemies, where will America and its citizens be in 5 or 10 years?
I am not optimistic
Take care of yourself, your family, and kindred spirits/friends.

These two clowns, and their ilk are figures right out of the French Revolution. These are children of wealth who think they are so much better than the revolting peasants and that their hold on power is permanent.
Bryan says
I’d like to point out that state is not the same as country. State is the government. Country is the people and land. Technically, the constitution is an enemy of the state since it sides with the people over the state in its efforts to restrict the state. People trying to turn the country into a form of dictatorship like socialism or fascism (government control of privately owned production) could be considered an ally of the state.

Well folks, do you know what privilege is? Living on welfare and Government dole (politicians, and bureaucrats included) refusing to work for a living…sitting around on benefits someone else paid for eating chocolate ice cream. Complaining about all those taxpayers you have shafted and either letting your kids run wild, hijacking cars and doing home invasions or paying no-good MARXIST BLM’s and Antifa’s to run riot, stealing from stores and blaming cops for making them accountable. And after all that making false accusations against the people who were forced to support your selfish parasitic lifestyle by a leftist government no real contributing citizen would ever have voted for.

These media millionaires just love to project their fear onto those of us who merely want civilization, law and order, no or very low crime rates, low inflation, decent schools that recognize simple biology and respect for parents and taxpayers. Dems are against these simple things plus they want a demographic change and more illegal aliens in.

Looking for a “Strong Man on a White Horse” is anathema to American history, values, and law. Only the ignorant, or intentionally destructive, would embrace such an individual. There should be literacy and civics tests for EVERY voter.
Domenic Pepe says
You are obviously ignorant of American history.
George Washington and Andrew Jackson and James Polk and Abraham Lincoln and
Theodore Roosevelt and FDR and Harry Truman and Ronald Reagan ….
were all “Strong Men on a White Horse in the White House.”
You need to try reading history and thinking a little bit more.
And do not forget colonial governors William Bradford and John Winthrop and John Endecott, etc.etc.etc.
Domenic Pepe says
And of course, more recently, President Donald Trump was a “Strong Men on a White Horse in the White House.”
To the benefit of America and US citizens.

As (not really) poor, white, Trump voter, I am proud to be considered by Messrs. Schaller and Waldman as an enemy of the kind of islamo-communist State they call “democratic”. Otherwise I would be anti-American – which God forbid!
