White, rural Americans aren’t the problem, it’s the coastal elites who hate them that are the true threat to democracy

Two white men who wrote a book on White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy took their complaints about Americans to MSNBC this week, where host Mika Brzezinski asked “Why are white rural voters a threat to democracy?”

Of course, we know their answer before even watching the clip: racism, transphobia, xenophobia. That’s what they think of Americans, and they feel incredibly justified in saying it. But it’s an entirely false narrative, and we all know it.

Tom Schaller leapt right in, condemning those Americans who live between the coasts, in middle-America, fly-over country, as the most racist, horrible, deplorable people to ever walk the face of the earth.

Yes, he was talking to you, my countrymen. They still don’t know why half of Americans voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 and now, facing a potential 2024 trouncing, they are still desperate to figure it out. All they can come up with is that those who support Trump, who back strong borders, who want criminal codes enforced, who believe in the sanctity of life, the right to self-defense, energy independence, who like the American culture they were raised with and want to perpetuate it, are racist, xenophobic, transphobic, and all the rest.

This is the same American population that has been overlooked by Democrats who are more than eager to please foreign interests, corporations, wealthy donors, and far-left activists.

Our American ways of life—strong families, good schools, vibrant communities steeped in US culture and tradition—have been under attack by these nefarious forces for decades, and now they deride those Americans who would rather serve God, who endorse our sovereign nation, than address the very real concerns coming from the white, rural, lower and middle class voters.
