MSNBC ignited backlash when two guests demonized “white rural” American voters as a “threat to democracy.”
Monday’s edition of “Morning Joe” featured Tom Schaller, a professor of political science at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and journalist Paul Waldman who highlighted their new book, “White Rural Rage.”
Schaller spewed about “the fourfold interconnected threat that white rural voters pose to the country,” and claimed this demographic is “the most anti-gay, xenophobic in the country. QAnon support and subscribers, COVID denialism, Obama birtherism.”
“They don’t believe in an independent press, free speech. They’re most likely to say the president should be backed unilaterally without checks from the courts, and the strongest white Christian nationalists,” Schaller said in his eyebrow-raining claims. “Fourth, they’re most likely to excuse or justify violence as acceptable.”
“These guys are complete assholes,” investigative journalist Lara Logan said simply in responding to the video on X.

Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA delivered a synopsis of the radical message the duo was unloading on MSNBC viewers.
Schaller even told “Morning Joe” that the “poorer infrastructure” and “a lack of economic opportunity” in America’s rural areas is part of the problem.
“That kind of left them open to someone like Donald Trump who would come along and tell them something that was true, that there is a system that has not served them well,” Schaller said.
“They’re pissed off,” Waldman added.
Social media users exploded over the duo’s remarks.
This is perhaps the most racist diatribe I’ve ever heard in my life.
And it was broadcast live on MSNBC on purpose.
Unbelievable.

They’re just mouthing Democrat tropes about White Conservatives back to Democrats and hoping to make a buck off the hatred.

I can’t help but laugh when white people write books about “white rage”. Just cracks me up.

When these guys say “threat to democracy” they really mean “threat to the socialist/globalist agenda”.
They do NOT approve of democracy in the sense of “citizens being able to vote for a government which advances their interests”

Their definition of Democracy is protecting their institutions and keeping their gravy train going. They don’t want to lose that. They try to construe our Constitutional Republic for a Democracy though pretending they mean what we know as the definition.

Once again, Democrats pushing their beliefs onto Conservatives. Here is why:
Article says: Schaller spewed about “the fourfold interconnected threat that white rural voters pose to the country,” and claimed this demographic is “the most anti-gay, RESPONSE: Rural voters believe in the science that there are ONLY two sexes/genders and that Male and Female.
Article Says: “xenophobic in the country.” RESPONSE: Not sure what this means but it is a liberal, leftist, elitest term and no one in their right mind would believe.
Article Says: “QAnon support and subscribers.” RESPONSE: I know no one who believes in QAnon and we are about as rural, white, Bible thumping, Gun toting as you can get.
Article Says: “COVID denialism.” RESPONSE: Yes we are and WE have been proven right. Check out the statistics on young athlete’s dropping dead.
Article Says: “Obama birtherism.” Yes we are because it is true. But then facts never do nor never do mean anything to liberal, leftist elites that spew forth disinformation.
Article Says: “They don’t believe in an independent press, free speech. They’re most likely to say the president should be backed unilaterally without checks from the courts, and the strongest white Christian nationalists,” Schaller said in his eyebrow-raining claims.” RESPONSE: This is totally false, total misinformation and is exactly what he himself believes because it is the Democrat, liberal leftist elites talking points.
Article Says: “Fourth, they’re most likely to excuse or justify violence as acceptable.” REPONSE: When was the last time Rural America had a mass shooting, had a riot, had a groups like Antifa/Black Lives Matter burning buildings, shooting police officers and destroying business? NEVER NEVER NEVER. This comment totally describes meto areas that are inhabited by those who care nothing for the rule of law. Again pointing fingers at themselves.
As someone commented, not upholding the Democrats talking points about saving our “Democracy” is code for not supporting the Globalist plan of a One World Government/New World Order/Great Reset which will lead to communism, facism and all other evil governments. Three names for the same objective — Globalist Control of the World Population.
The only thing to be said is: the greatest generation sacrificed sons, daughters, husbands and wives just so these people can speak as they do! These individuals have no character or respect! Let them speak cause it shows they are really idiots!
