It’s hard to know just how to respond to racist vomit like White Rural Rage. And it is racist. I would not dare write a book with either the title or theme of Black Urban Rage: The Threat to American Democracy. That would be very wrong — and very likely to create cancelled misery for myself instead of being platformed as anti-white woke racists are. So one has to be completely lacking in intellect and/or conscience to be an author of a book titled White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy. Such racist vilification approaches Mein Kampf territory.
We can and probably should laugh this book to scorn. At the same time, it should alarm that such a book is platformed and promoted in “mainstream media” propaganda. (Here’s the authors appearing on MSNBC if you can stomach it.) But we are used to this by now, aren’t we? Anti-White racism is about as old hat in the U. S. as antisemitism was in 1930’s Germany. It has sadly become the new normal. And, as
warns, there is more sewage to come in this election year, a river of it.Even if you somehow could remove the racism and vilification from WRR (Would anything but blank pages remain?), it completely misses the actual threats to American democracy, which are many. A more on target hypothetical book would be Urban Madness: The Threat to American Democracy.
Since “urban” is often a veiled way of saying Black, I should emphatically state that is not what I mean here. The harm Blue cities are doing to this country is a very multiethnic phenomenon. And, say, White high-tech workers share a lot of the blame for the evil and harm that spreads from Blue cities. (And have you noticed that more and more Black people have had enough?)
Since the topic at hand is threats to American democracy, a comparison of who Blue cities elect with who rural areas and small towns elect is in order. Take Congress, please. Blue cities elect the likes of Ilhan Omar, Eric Swalwell, Cori Bush, Pencil Neck, Brad Sherman, Ted Lieu, Mad Maxine, Jamie Raskin, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Sheila Jackson Lee, Joaquin Castro and more. I’m sure not all Congressmen “White Rural” people elect are great leadership material, but they are overall just a bit more sane and not quite as evil.
As far as “the threat to democracy” is concerned, whose Congressmen defend free speech or attack it? Whose Representatives want clean, free and fair elections or fight tooth and nail against such common sense anti-fraud verification safeguards as Voter ID? And which party has not respected the election of a POTUS from the other party since 1988?
I could continue with any number of other issues — you know I could — but I rest my case. Blue cities are far more a threat to democracy than rural and small town America. It’s not even close.
And let’s dispense with the “White Rural” smear. Common sense salt of the earth rural Americans are not all White. South Texas south of San Antonio is mostly small town and rural. We are also majority Hispanic. And I can just about guarantee you we will do our part to vote out that great danger to American democracy, the Biden Regime.
But isn’t that the real reason we are being vilified by garbage like White Rural Rage?

UPDATE: Rod Dreher just posted on this and has too much fun with it.
You know the sort: white country people, who are forever torching hay bales in barnyard riots, committing violent crime against their neighbors, shouting down Jews and preventing anyone to the right of MSNBC from speaking, tearing down modern art statues, seizing children from progressive parents to inject Cracker Barrel gravy into their veins, forcing Hee-Haw Honeys Story Hour on elementary school kids, and lying to parents about it, activating Farm Bureau operatives to leak falsehoods that show up in the pages of Field & Stream to spread propaganda. Junior Samples was worse than Jeffrey Epstein!
Those people. Those Trumpy SOBs.
God bless them . . . and
