    Dang. Someone removed my sarcasm key/emoji. To clarify, the point is that the Left has its own library of conspiracies/narratives that it clings to despite being debunked or even corrected by their own admission.

    I get it. This is parody. You are trying to prove the thesis of the book by spouting nonsense. Bravo

    Idiot Trumpers could care less about Israel policy. They are racist idiots from rural areas. All you have to do is listen to them being interviewed at the rallies to hear all you need to know.

    No they support Israel hoping to bring about Armageddon or ragnarok.

    But she did not blaspheme the orthodoxy of the DNC so she is not MAGA.

    Quote below is a concise point from article.

    “Never before in American politics has a single syllable carried so much symbolic weight,” the authors write in a chapter they title “The Unlikely King of Rural America.” “‘TRUMP’ is thrust at liberals, chanted at high school games when the opposing team contains a lot of non-White kids, shouted in the air, and scrawled on the sidewalk, carrying boundless aggression in its percussive simplicity. It says I’m mad and We’re winning and Screw you all at the same time.”

    False equivalency bullshit.

    One of the differences: cross Trump and you are branded a RINO and banished from the party.

    Cross Biden and you not branded at DINO and banished from the party

    That is just for starters.

    I have a problem believing that you truly believe that 46.8% of the voting citizens of the U.S.A. in 2020, and according to recent polls a majority of the voters now, are worse than deplorable. If you did you would probably be planning a move to another country and/or stockpiling food while converting all of your assets to precious metals.

    Eric Adams crossed Biden. We all know what happened to him.

    The DNC has effective enforcement mechanisms against people who cross the line. They are quite the deterrent.

    Nothing? He's still alive and the mayor, doing the same stuff he's always done.

    Days after he publicly criticized Biden's immigration policy the FBI raids his home. An FBI raid of a politician's home is one way to shut someone up who has criticized the POTUS.

    PUH Lease! One anecdote versus a pervasive pattern. You are either severely misinformed or incredibly dishonest.

    NYC Mayor Eric Adams calls for expanded cooperation between police and immigration authorities

    Yes, he's really shut up about it lol. Maybe they need to raid his house again because he didnt get the message. I dont think Biden has got the message either, because he's probably moved hard right on immigration towards Adams, not vice versa.

    What do that get from the Dem's other than higher gas and groceries? I don't think getting college loans paid off is high on the list. I don't see any free money paying off medical bill or mortgages. I am sure having more IRS agents to check their math and more ATF and gun laws is not high on the list. Most are hard working and don't qualify for welfare. Many work in construction trades and farming. Or both many times. I am white and rural and have been for 65 years. I can't think of anything a Democrat has done to make my life better or easier. 40 years ago those same people were Democrats but most don't vote Democrat anymore although some still do.

    So you think people from rural areas are racist and idiots? Kind of makes you look like both of those to me. Maybe you should lay off of CNN for a while.

    The thing is, you probably can't think of a single thing a Republican has done to make your life easier either.

    Top bracket tax cuts? Protection from the gay onslaught? Invading Iraq? Protecting Trump? Anti-woke? Those things help you?

    This may or may not apply to you, but MANY people like you (but possibly younger) have gotten health care due to Democratic efforts.

    This may or may not apply to you, but Republican efforts have completely ignored many people like you; how many rural people (especially younger than you) do not benefit from the deficit-funded top-bracket tax cuts?


    A closer analysis shows rural people are far better served by Democratic policies. They just don't seem to realize it, and/or fall prey to the meaningless, ever-changing culture war hate speech from the GOP.

    Sounds like you are likely on social security. Medicare? Guess who championed those programs? Hint ... not the pubs.

    Higher gas and groceries are from republican voting and donating CEOs jacking up the price of things just because they can and they know that morons will blame it on Biden.
