White Rural Trump Supporters Are a Threat to Democracy
White Rural Trump Supporters Are a Threat to Democracy
A new book shows how many supposed “elitist stereotypes” of rural MAGA voters are true—and backed by hard data.
In the popular imagination of many Americans, particularly those on the left side of the political spectrum, the typical MAGA supporter is a rural resident who hates Black and Brown people, loathes liberals, loves gods and guns, believes in myriad conspiracy theories, has little faith in democracy, and is willing to use violence to achieve their goals, as thousands did on Jan. 6.
According to a new book, White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy, these aren’t hurtful, elitist stereotypes by Acela Corridor denizens and bubble-dwelling liberals… they’re facts.
The authors, Tom Schaller, a professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and Paul Waldman, a former columnist at The Washington Post, persuasively argue that most of the negative stereotypes liberals hold about rural Americans are actually true.

Oh wow, two bougie urbanite Jews warning me about how awful poor, rural Whites are! What else is new?
I for one enjoyed your comment. It's like going to a zoo and seeing the apes.
Apes deserve better than zoos- just as they deserve better than to be compared to OP.
What an extremely problematic comment. Are you seriously implying some kind of set hierarchy between yourself and the presumably more primitive apes? Your privilege is showing. Be better.
Wow you sure le pwned him, double plus upvotes for you. Top kek, etc etc
Using speech patterns of libs that was obsolescent even in 2016 just highlights how infrequently you legitimately consider differing thought and is a great signifier to others that you really have nothing to offer except the surface level catchphrases you use to reinforce your beliefs to yourself.
David Attenborough: The ape responds by mimicking human speech patterns. This behavior is believed to be a signal to females that it is ready to mate.

Ok... i think i can see where the wind is blowing from. But just to entertain myself: where did you happen to stumble on their religious backgrounds?
Usually the aggressive signalling of a particular kind of anti-White, anti-Christian political tradition combined with a "German" surname is enough to give it away. Note that "Jewish" denotes an ethnicity, not a religion. There are plenty of nonbelievers eligible for aliyah.
Waldman doesn't exactly require a hexagram to identify, but in case you need direct evidence: https://paulwaldman.substack.com/p/when-the-supposed-enemy-of-your-enemy?r=clmeq&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true
I jumped the gun on Schaller. He doesn't actually seem to number among the chosen. Despite his ardent leftism and anti-theism he somehow still ends up batting for the promised land with regards to the ongoing genocide, and his retweets are like the invitation list to a bar mitzvah, but I guess those are unavoidable phenomena when you're part of the American intelligentsia. A shabbos goy, no doubt, but not a Jew. My sincerest apologies for this libelous slander toward both Schaller and the Jewish people.
You know what they say, the first step to getting help is admitting you have a problem...
Definitely not an elitist stereotype though, just facts
