Lemme get this straight... MSNBC/NYT believe black rage comes from a systemic lack of representation in political decisions and privilaged elites not understanding their culture and lived experiences thereby judging them and treating them unjustly. BUT white rage is because they are dumb, backwards, bigots without commonsense? Hmmm... got it.
The whole thing is such a ridiculous scripted spectacle. At this point they have to have more viewers/readers who are outraged and sharing for content, then who actually agree with them.
More elitist bullshit. I don’t think they realize when people elected Trump it was a giant middle finger to both sides Republicans and Democrats. It was also directed at them
…too bad they won’t ‘get’ that. They love to be described as ‘elite’. Maybe if I’m ever stuck responding to one, I will write elite then say, and I meant that pejoratively. 🤣😂
'Wear a Carhartt Jacket and milk a cow". This guy has not even talked to a guy who wears a Carhartt Jacket, nor has he even done enough research to know how industrialized and regulated that process of milking a cow has become. The vitriolic ignorance he pollutes the airwaves with is a reflection of how shallow his intellect and life experience are.
What happens to that rage, not of rural whites, but the leftist elites, when we as a society finally turn against them? They will lash out even more crudely. The hatred comes too easily to them now, it crowds out what used to come reflexively, which was a more nuanced condemnation of their opponents. Now their only gear is full-on rage.
The elite left now is like the white sharecroppers of the 1950's. They depend on having people below them to despise. Even with all their degrees and awards and fawning sycophants, we are now seeing nothing but malice in their souls. They don't seek utopia or justice or fairness any longer, they seek destruction of their enemies. And as they fall into a retreat they will destroy everything in their wake. Count on it.
Their immediate focus now is on who deserves their wrath: obviously for poor whites of the south it was blacks. For the bankrupt mandarins of the permanent state? Today it is rural white folk. Tomorrow? Suburban parents. A bit down the road? Moderate, squeamish dems who finally reject the hatred (not many of those will be left if Trump wins).
Revolutions always consume their spawn. It will be fun to see who Krugman will be denouncing when his time comes.
Liberals have what I think of as a “moral outrage button”. Sometimes that’s a good thing. We need the people who sound an alert, and push us to be better.
But… when their prescriptions for a better society don’t work out as they expected, they refuse to step back and analyze why. Instead, they just press the moral outrage button even harder. They’ve been at it for 60 years, to the point that the moral outrage warning is blaring at full air raid siren level.
They will never look at why their ideas don’t work. You are correct, the button is now set at full blown rage against anyone who disagrees. They will never back off voluntarily.
The people who will provide Mr. Krugman with a "hard smack" of reality are much closer to him than he thinks. They repair and clean his home and appiances, deliver his Amazon Prime carbon-neutral butt plugs, and service his cars. The provide the electricity and internet for his Porn Hub vists. They drive him to bugmen socials and prepare his meals, etc. Stand by, pantloads...
I haven't seen any public rage in my small rural southern town. But in the town I left in blue CT, I saw informal gatherings of 20-30 people every so often—landscapers, old ladies, house painters—in front of the local CVS with hand-made signs, "I am a deplorable." Also several "F*ck Biden" posters hung from balconies. So there's some white urban rage for sure, but this was not of the leftist variety. It's the same town where I was asked to leave a dinner party after the hostess discovered I was not of the same political party as she.
I think that's awful, being asked to leave. I have suffered the same rudeness. My advice is to print the hostess's name publicly. Sometimes shame is a great cure.
PPE - Politics Poisons Everything. What a self righteous, willfully ignorant harpy that hostess must be. I think you should be thankful you were spared breaking bread with such a disgusting, no-class weasel.
I grew up in the suburbs outside of Boston. As a kid, I had no way of comprehending the bigotry of Boston progressivism. I grew up with it, so it was 'normal'. After college I moved to Ohio and taught in a rural school. Wow! These people had far greater comprehension of the issues than the eastern progressives. And WAY more tolerance. You can't live your life in the physical reality of farm life, and not develop a lot of wisdom that progressives can't even imagine.
Whatever progressivism was (and it was never really good for anything) it is now just a big protective bubble for people who are afraid to engage the real world. We keep sticking pins in their bubble, and they keep rushing around trying to seal the leaks. It's sad and funny at the same time.
The hypocrisy of this is astounding. The only “rage” here is Morning Joe and Krugman. This is the greatest commercial for voting out the elites. Completely, out of touch. Are they talking about Walter Kerns neighbors?
Y’all keep calling us ignorant, pig stupid, uneducated crackers, and a lot of you are going to be waking up to the sound of gunfire. We ignorant crackers (I’m an Econ PhD, you cocksucker) can count to two, and that’s all the amendments we need to fend you little shits off.
Poor Marie Antoinette. Born into royalty but then sold to the king of France as a peace offering. She didn’t speak the language. Her husband suffered from a condition that made maintaining an erection intensely painful, and as a result there were no children for a long time, and of course she was blamed for this.
The quote about eating cake is often misrepresented, she was a stranger in a strange land against her will. At her trial she was falsely accused of raping her own children before being found guilty of existing and being sentenced to death.
cluelessnes of elites about their imminent comeuppance. If I were Ken Lay's lawyer during his Enron trial, I'd paint Kenny Boy like the real Marie Antoinette. LOL.

I would like to suggest reading Thomas Sewall's "Black Rednecks and White Liberals" published in 2005 and/or listen to him being interviewed on "Uncommon Knowledge." And also listen to Victor Davis Hanson on "Uncommon Knowledge" talking about his experience growing up in a small agrarian community in N California. His family learned to produce raisins from Armenian neighbors who escaped genocide in Turkey.
You cannot generalize about "rural" citizens. You cannot generalize about white rural Americans. Swedish farmers have different cultural attitudes than the Scots highlanders who used to inhabit the South, but no more. I live not far from Walter Kirn. Rural whites are headed by "the big mules". They own the car dealerships (well they used to but now owned by far off conglomerates), local lumber and hardware stores, storage facility owners i.e. small business owners whose ties are to their community. They sponsor the local Cowboy Ball or the Community 5 mile races or the local Rodeo. Yes, there are still hill folk hidden away out of sight, but there are more church ladies and gents who man the local Community Thrift Store than crazed militia guys holed up in the gullies. The treason is amongst our so called intellectuals as Niall Ferguson points out. Thomas Sewell continuously points out that liberals are involved in "moral crusades" and do not care for data that disproves their assertions. "Arrogance and ignorance" is a dangerous combination, he says. I could go on and on about the great thinking by Hanson and Sewell.
Also, get ready for the new version of "Deplorable" I have already seen being parroted among Tiger Beat Krugman fanatics - "Christian Nationalist" - whatever the f that would really mean. But I'm afraid it will take on a sloppy, ugly life of its own this year.

Bingo, that's exactly how they roll.

Let’s start replacing the word ‘elite’ with ‘plebes’ b/c that is what they are; plebeians.
I used elitist as a pejorative
…too bad they won’t ‘get’ that. They love to be described as ‘elite’. Maybe if I’m ever stuck responding to one, I will write elite then say, and I meant that pejoratively. 🤣😂
Telling someone they have “elitist” thinking isn’t a compliment and I don’t think they would think it was
Point taken.
I like "plebes". Rhymes with "dweebs".
Thank you..I have always said Trump was sent as a Warning to DC..

How come this isn’t considered hate speech?
Because the left defines "hate"

Carbon-neutral butt plugs! Now we’re getting somewhere.. sort of like a smokeless ashtray
Matt, the obvious question for Krugman is:
If white rural voters are suffering from rage? Are white urban voters suffering from leftist rage too?
And if they are shouldn't we be as worried about violence and terrorism?
Perhaps Garland should ask the FBI to develop a task force to investigate White Urban Leftist Rage?

Well, she's a bit of a narcissist and might enjoy it. But thanks for the kind words!

Horatius, I love your colorful language. Yes, she's in my past now.

It's Thomas "Sowell." I would hate for your message to be lost due to a simple misspelling.
OMG! Yes, of course . Thomas Sowell.
The farmer is the man who feeds us all.

Unfortunately the Koch brothers ( Kansas) and Bill Gates ( Washington state) own a substantial amount of farm ground in this country!
"How dare they be enraged, when we have been such beneficent rulers?"
