We say very clearly that rural America is hurting. But we refuse to justify attitudes that some scholars try to underplay.

Goaar makes three to remove Johnson.
That means it's up to Jeffries. If he decides he wants the chair vacant, it is.

That last one….. could someone explain the controversy?
Hello, I'm Charles Darwin, the world's foremost thinker on evolution and its consequences. I can say, as an expert who developed the theory of natural selection, that it is wrong--WRONG to marry your close relatives, like first cousins, I can sa--[someone runs up to podium and whispers into Darwin's ear].

I might say much the same things about urban politicians telling voters to blame all the wrong targets, to sweep their own policy failures under the rug. To an extent, this is human political nature.
I think I can explain the result in rural America as simply as this: Baker v. Carr and its progeny established one-person, one-vote and put an end to the broad overrepresentation in Congress of rural communities. Legislation (and court cases) in the ensuing decades took a hard turn against them, as a result. They still enjoy overrepresentation in the Senate, so it could be a lot worse.
It's not surprising they're mad. It is surprising that the education system fails them as badly as it does, when it comes to explaining the result. Reality is they were given a political handout, it was taken away, and no one bothered to tell them. If my kid in high school understands this, there's no reason they shouldn't.

Ukraine is fighting an "anti Christian" war.
Absolute scum. The internet needs shutting down, except for GOT and giphy.
And the gentleman's entertainment sites.
Obviously.

It's almost like Republican policies are killing their constituents, but these same politicians are trying to get you to pay attention to psuedo-controversies like pronouns, or that immigrants are gonna take your job, or DEI.
