“Name a force or impulse that threatens the stability of the American political system – distrust in the fairness of elections, conspiracy theorizing, the embrace of authoritarianism – and it is always more prevalent among rural Whites than among those living elsewhere."

~ Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman, White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy (New York: Random House, 2024), p. 5

“Even the common, and perfectly accurate, criticism that Trump doesn't practice what he preaches likely resonates in rural areas, where you often find a strong moral code that is regularly violated by many of the people who live there."

"The fact that rural areas have plenty of infidelity and teen parenthood (which occurs at significantly higher rates among rural Americans than city dwellers) doesn't necessarily make people reject traditional family values; it can make them cling to those values all the more fervently, as they consider them under constant, visible threat.”

LOL. Nothing but class.

Police say the Boebert-led crime ring is comprised of three males, including Boebert, and one underage female with whom Boebert "supposedly made a sex tape."

SamsonSeinfelder, to news in Lauren Boebert's son made sex tape with fellow suspect(who was a minor): affidavit

How could she know? She was at that time at the Theater jerking off some democrat.

A woman claims the state’s leader—a former county commissioner on a “” platform—raped her early last month, according to a heavily redacted investigation report filed by Sarasota .

What can you even say at this point? are the villains they accuse everyone else of being.

If you want to find sex offenders look in every moral outrage group out there that talks about "protecting kids" or "family values".

I guarantee you the real dangers are hiding in plain sight (often in churches and police departments).

I'm not saying all these people are full of shit..

Actually thats exactly what I am saying.

Scratch an authoritarian and find a moral danger.

dbattistella,

@autoerot1ca I came across this vid yesterday and I'm still shaking my head. Imagine being morally outraged about your kids learning 'empathy' 😬

As Hunter says,

"Republicans clutch pearls over Fetterman's gym shorts, stay mum on Boebert."

But his shorts, my god, those shorts! The horror of them! The decline in civility!

If Boebert hadn't have lied about breaking the rules of why she was thrown out of the Beetlejuice theater performance, the theater wouldn't have had to pull the receipts and the entire world wouldn't have known that the US CongressPerson does lewd acts in public theaters.

Jacob Shamsian ⚖️ :

Lauren son called 911 in tears to report his father was "throwing" him around the house and "called me a psycho."

"There are weapons in the house yeah, but I don't think he'd use them on me," he told the officer.

Then, his mom stepped in.
