Rajan Laad has a think piece at the American Thinker that asks the question Why do Democrats hate white rural America so much? It's a question that has weighed on my mind as well. Growing up in the upper midwest as I did, and living now in North Carolina, I meet all kinds of people, and for the most part they do not fit the description of offered by Schaller and Waldman:
“They are the most racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-gay geodemographic group in the country,” claimed Schaller. “Second, they’re the most conspiracist group. QAnon support and subscribers, election denialism, COVID denialism instead of scientific skepticism, Obama birtherism.”
“They don’t believe in an independent press, free speech,” Schaller said. “They’re also the most strongly White nationalist and White Christian nationalist. ... They’re most likely to excuse or justify violence as an acceptable alternative to peaceful public discourse.”
No, and in fact rural America is filled with not just white people, but blacks, Asians and pretty much every other race of Americans. What all these people have in common is that they can all see what is happening to their country. They can all cite a list of unaddressed grievances like the ones Laad has listed. They just want to get the jack boot off their necks and get back to living their lives. Laad rhetorically asks "Why the hatred?
Why the hatred?
The Democrats view voters as subjects who need to be controlled rather than citizens to whom they are accountable. Their object is to rule (not govern).
They see these dissenting white rural voters as impediments to their permanence of power.
Please read the whole post and contemplate what Laad is saying. Then pray to find a way out of the net the tyrants are laying for us.
