Nashville Reporter Only Sees Racism In Moving To A Christianity-Friendly Small Town
As Venezuelan gang soldiers set up shop in Tennessee, a Nashville reporter directs ire at a handful of American families who’ve moved in.
The authors of "White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy" blasted the subjects of their book as "anti-gay," "xenophobic," "anti-democratic," "pissed off," uneducated supporters of former President Donald Trump in an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" earlier this week.
The program's smug co-host, Mika Brzezinski, prefaced the segment with authors Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman by wondering why Trump got so much support from rural America when he "became a millionaire at 8 years old and didn't have to serve because he claimed he had bone spurs in his little feet."
The far-left Brzezinski asked with a grin, "Why are white rural voters a threat to democracy at this point? You would think, as we've pointed out, looking at Joe Biden's background and Donald Trump’s, that the opposite would be true.”
Schaller answered that he and Waldman “lay out the fourfold interconnected threat that white rural voters pose to the country" in their new book and then dropped his first bomb.
“They're the most racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-gay geo-demographic group in the country," he began. "Second, they're the most conspiracist group: QAnon support and subscribers, election denialism, COVID denialism, scientific skepticism, Obama birtherism.”
Schaller added that white rural Americans hold “anti-democratic sentiments.”
“They don’t believe in an independent press, free speech. They’re most likely to say the president should be backed unilaterally without any checks from Congress or the courts or the bureaucracy," he said. "They're also the most strongly white nationalist and white Christian nationalist. And fourth, they’re most likely to excuse or justify violence as an acceptable alternative to peaceful public discourse.”
Brzezinski asked in quite the elitist tone why the subjects of their book are "vulnerable."
Waldman replied that it has to do with “problematic education systems,” “poorer infrastructure” and “a lack of economic opportunity," most notably a great loss of manufacturing jobs.
“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,” Waldman added.
“They're pissed off,” Brzezinski offered off camera.
“They are pissed off,” Waldman affirmed, noting that supporting Trump afforded them a way to "channel their rage and anger" and to "give a big middle finger to Democrats."
Amazingly, know-it-all Brzezinski assumed that what white, rural Americans ultimately want is "to be rich."
Schaller didn't seem so sure that was accurate and noted that "they'd rather channel their rage."

Another day, another government proposal that will throw a wrench in American citizens' freedom.
The SEC proposal would allow for the creation of a new type of company called a “natural asset company,” which could buy up land to use natural processes — like the generation of fresh air — to write off carbon emissions.
Glenn Beck calls the proposal “horrifying.”
Utah Treasurer Marlo Oaks is in agreement, telling Glenn that the proposal will “permanently stop economically essential activities like grazing, mineral extraction, modern agriculture” and “severely curtail recreational access.”
“We’re basically talking about the destruction of rural America,” he adds, noting that the move is simply “an effort to take control of America’s natural resources.”
The proposal is “essentially placing a value on natural processes,” Oaks continues, using “biological systems that provide clear air, water, food” as an example.
To put it simply, Oak calls it “just another scam” that uses “God-given processes” at the expense of our country.
“It represents a massive transfer of wealth,” he adds.
Glenn is aware that all of this has seriously far-reaching implications.
“Our food prices will go through the roof,” Glenn says, “and good luck going to a national park.”
“This is so evil. This is so incredibly evil,” he adds.
