The authors of the book "White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy," argued that White rural voters are the most dangerous "Geodemographic" group in America on MSNBC on Monday.
Professor of political science at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Thomas Schaller and journalist and opinion writer Paul Waldman claimed that White rural voters in America were racist and generally anti-democracy.
"They are the most racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-gay, geodemographic group in the country," Schaller said.
Schaller also claimed that White rural voters don't believe in democracy.
"They're most likely to say the president should be able to act unilaterally without any checks from Congress, or the courts or the bureaucracy. They're also the most strongly White nationalist and White Christian nationalist," Schaller said.
Waldman argued that White rural voters tend to like former President Donald Trump because "They have more problematic education systems" and have been hurt by factories and work leaving their communities.
"We've seen a lot of manufacturing jobs leave from rural areas," he said.... Submitted 10 hours ago.
