re: Official rural white folks are a threat thread

Hey, wild,

Come on out to rural America.
You can sit around a fire with rural Americans and have a few beers. Hell, you can bring your husband as well.
It would be a perfect place and time for you to experience a "teachable moment."
Conversely, you could point out to rural Americans the error of their thinking.
It will be fun.

Now watch... This kind of language is dangerous. It’s what totalitarians start out with. Identify a group. Tell the country what is so awful about that group. Explain that the group is beyond redemption. Marginalize them as a threat. You know the rest. Do I think Hispanics are about to be rounded up? Of course, it's basically what Trump has threatened to do with the people he's already demonized. That's the kind of self-delusion I'm talking about.

You thinking that sentiment is delusional is your problem. My post was as milquetoast, can’t we all get along as possible. Which admittedly, may be delusional. And, you cowardly changed the ending of what I said to fit your narrative.

My point was that those 2 authors are stoking hatred. You seem to revel in that as well. I’m no fan of Donald Trump. And I do agree that he is running as a resentment candidate. I would argue that it’s more a result of the pendulum swing brought about by an insane left over the last few years.

You can’t accuse people of stupidly sticking to their guns and bibles and being deplorables and calling them bigots when you go after their children and then expect them to just go along and not be so difficult.

But the hard left is so indignant that they’ve created this great new world that they’re unable to even conceive anyone might disagree. It’s not disagreement. It must be hate, fear, and ignorance.

That’s all you are doing in this thread. Lashing back at the country dummies.
You just cloak it in a veil of “nonpartisanship.”
