Attack of the Crypto-Nazis!
Are working-class men of all races, along with rural Americans in general, the greatest threats to the American republic today? According to Harold Meyerson, writing in the progressive journal he co-founded, The American Prospect, “[y]ounger working-class men of all races” who support Trump instead of Biden are emotionally disturbed individuals obsessed with their “precarious manhood” who “lash out: blaming their problems on outsiders and anti-macho ideology, on feminized work rules, on capitalists and communists so long as they were Jewish, on novelty, on empiricism.
If the thought of millions of young Hispanic, Black and white men whose manhood is precarious and who hate “empiricism” isn’t scary enough, we should be even more terrified by the 16% of Americans who dwell in the rural wastelands that lie between big Democratic cities. This is the claim of professor Tom Schaller and professor Paul Waldman, whose election-season campaign tract White Rural Rage is the flavor of the month on NPR and MSNBC. On Morning Joe, Schaller duly declared that white rural Americans are “the most racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-gay geo-demographic group in the country. ”This one-sixth of the American population,” according to White Rural Rage, is a “threat to the world’s oldest constitutional democracy.”
No need to be polite; tell us what you really think of your fellow Americans, gentlemen.
and this,
After World War II, the urban and academic liberals made no secret of their disgust for “sprawling,” unaesthetic suburbs inhabited by lower-class vulgarians—whose home ownership was made possible by New Deal policies like the GI Bill, government-guaranteed home loans, highway spending, and rural electrification.
Like their Progressive forebears, Northeastern liberals held their noses in the presence of the lower orders for whose benefit they ostensibly acted. Their real goal was not the happiness of workers and farmers, but the more refined pleasures of science-based technocratic governance by a wise, disinterested elite, dominated if possible by patrician graduates of Ivy League universities. Accordingly, they preferred relatively conservative Harvard men like Adlai Stevenson and John F. Kennedy to populist politicians from the provinces like Harry Truman (no college degree) and Lyndon Johnson (a graduate of Southwest Texas State Teachers College).
plus this,
The economic deprivation thesis, patronizing as it is, at least holds out the hope that if benevolent technocrats provide the moronic rabble with good jobs and benefits, they won’t turn angry and mutate, Hulk-like, into American-style Nazis.
More insulting to Republican working-class voters and therefore more appealing to snobbish gentry liberals is the noneconomic status-anxiety theory. If working-class and rural voters do not support the Democrats, the party of the people (the people of Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and much of Wall Street, that is), then these voters must be motivated by deeply rooted irrational bigotry, not mere economic distress. While Obama provided the classic statement of the economic deprivation theory in 2008, Hillary Clinton in 2016 did the same for the working-class bigotry theory, in a statement which, like Obama’s, was intended to be for the ears of rich Democratic donors in an invitation-only fundraiser in New York…
This is a great essay and you should RTWDT.
Ok, just one more. Which three letter agency should be abolished?
Dismantle FBI and rebuild it and rename it.
Sounds like Arizona will finally been called.
Its been a fun day of memes, let’s end it with this one. 😀
In honor of the late, great, immolated Rob Reiner, I’d like to offer this song with earnest respect.

Rob Reiner is threatening to set himself on fire.
Please stay on the line, sir. We seem to have a bad connection. What is your emergency? Sir? Sir?
Sir, please stay on the line. Did you say you are reporting a fire? Sir? Sir? I’m so sorry for the bad connection.
Sir?……Sir?……Sir?………….Sir?
Sad. So sad.
Megan Fox is having fun at PJMedia. There’s great news on the dating front for all MAGA women! Have you felt like you’re in competition with too many women with high body counts and low morals?

They are trying to steal the Senate race from Sam Brown in Nevada.
no mystery.
They stole it in 2020 with about 15 million fraudulent votes.
so simple to figure out even a caveman can do it.
14 or 15 million mystery voters came and went in 2020 ?
If you didn’t see it, you really should check out the chart in my comment at 2:55 PM.
2012, 2016 & 2024 have Democrat totals the same, around 66 million popular votes.
2020 with Joe Biden has Democrats with 81 or 82 million votes.
The mask comes off the Ds.
They really are vile scum, may they be spit roasted in the never ending hot place.
The beautiful blue sky has been swallowed by clouds, so sunset makes its way through the clouds that have turned pink and gold. Lovely to see and so much better than rain.
A friend thinks Paxton has too much baggage to get the USAG appointment.
But he thinks Cruz will recommend Kim Ogg for the job.
I don’t know about that, but she may end up working there.
I treated myself to a celebratory Mexican lunch. The guys in the next booth were talking politics and I was catching snippets. One of them had a friend who sat next to Paxton on a plane from Idaho recently.
He said Paxton has to travel with two bodyguards.
It appears we need reinforcements to make welfare calls in Hollywood.
Well, Bette Midler is threatening to drink Draino.

Collin Rugg on X: JUST IN: The Department of Justice and Jack Smith immediately end their cases against Donald Trump.The DOJ cited their policy that presidents can’t be prosecuted however it was assumed they would work up until the “last day.”“What’s interesting here is that the DOJ is moving to end them even before he takes office, citing the longstanding… Read more »

I watched all the election coverage from about 6 PM Central to 2 AM. mostly on Fox but it was fun to occasionally flip over to the lunatics and see their hair on fire. I also watched some of that this morning. 😉
We are finally getting a little rain. A steady drizzle that has brought us .32″ in the last 20 minutes. I do hope we can get at least an inch or so. The last real rain was September 25-27, 4.48″ but we did get about a tenth on October 3. As you can imagine it is DRY!
I hear Harris county voted for more crime with the re-election of Gonzales and the election of Sean teare.

I smell rats.
With the leadership of Laura Trump, the Rs were able to thwart and beat the cheat.
Some analyst says that Trump improved his previous numbers in AOC’s district by 25%.
I was just thinking this election sure looks familiar to the Trump/Hillary battle in a lot of ways. The election maps are really close, hills and Kams message was real similar, Hill and Kam both took a powder on election night concession speech. I guess she decided to jump start cleaning out her office. Weird I tell ya.
Tammy Baldwin held her Wisconsin Senate seat by less than a point. 🙁
I’m worried about the House. There’s something weird about the election maps because there doesn’t appear to be enough seats left undeclared to give either party a majority. Republicans still need another 8 seats.
Fox just announced they were told Kamala has called and conceded to Trump.
I’m in n the waiting room, I hear Jack Smith is ceasing all prosecutions and is personally running for the hills.
Trump snags Michigan, 292 votes total and it looks like he’ll win Nevada and Arizona. That would give him 17 more votes, 309 total.
Read the rest. Germans go crazier. There are plenty of links.
most poles are for fishing.
the other polls are for chumming psyop sh!t.
If I had a dollar for every time I was told pollsters had fixed all their problems and they were getting it right this time, I’d have at least a thousand bucks in my pocket.
It was a great thing that the rnc fired ronna Delecto and hired Lara Trump otherwise you may have had millions of ballot dumps @3:00am again.

California passes Prop. 36 making crime somewhat illegal again. LA dumps Soros owned DA George Gascon. Californians still voted overwhelmingly for Harris who was very instrumental in turning the state into the s***hole it is today.

PS: I was amazed at a video of Benny Johnson (whoever he is) handing out MAGA hats with a black rapper (don’t know him, don’t wanna know him) in Fulton County.
