Nolte: All Remains Sane and Calm Out Here in Rural America
2020-06-22
[Breitbart] My appreciation for Rural America has only grown as the lunacy of blacklists, rioting, looting, woke fascism, and a full-blown CHAZ has spread like a malignant cancer throughout dozens of Democrat-run cities.

You know what?

There really are Two Americas.

To which I can only say, "Thank God."

Thanks to hard work, a little luck, a gracious employer, and an awesome wife, I live in a small town in the western mountains of North Carolina. We did have a couple of big (for our size) protests over the tragic death of George Floyd. But both protests were peaceful, and what happened to George Floyd is worthy of public outrage, so the protests only made me even more proud of my leafy little corner of the world.

The beauty of Rural America — and this is why our media, celebrity, and Democrat elite hate us so — is that the left’s bullshit can’t touch us.

To begin with, the left’s organized and oppressive violence has no effect on us, and that’s primarily because the left-wing terrorists in Antifa and Black Lives Matter know not to come out here; know our cops don’t kneel and we love the Second Amendment... But it’s also the left’s oppressive rules that don’t touch us...

For example, all those terrible decisions made by the Supreme Court this week... None of that will touch us. Illegal aliens don’t destroy Rural America; they destroy Democrat-run cities. Hey, I lived in Los Angeles for nine years; I know of what I speak. And it’s not just the crime that comes with open borders; it’s also how the cheap, illegal labor contributes to the urban blight that comes with fewer jobs and lower wages for legal citizens and immigrants.

The sheer madness of the Court declaring homosexuality (a behavior) and gender dysphoria (a mental illness) a protected civil right... This will never touch Rural America because the left-wing activists who intend to use those unconstitutional rulings to destroy traditional institutions (which is their ultimate goal) will be doing so almost exclusively from an urban base of attack.

Let me give you an example of what I mean...

#12  Because a person lives in Leavemethefuckaloneistan, doesn't mean he won't vigorously defend, family, friends, home, community and country if it comes down to that. So far, it just means that Antifa and BLM (or others) have not shown up to cause trouble.

#11  My home town in li'l ol' NorCal has its Police and Fire Station barricaded. Protesters out in front of both (they are located adjacent for fokks sake) with no LE response. Protesters stopped car of a nurse who just finished her shift at hospital a block away. The was pulled from car and viciously assaulted. No response at all from LE that was literally feet away. Noone is safe. Bank on this

#8  My (relatively) small East County San Diego suburb showed up with armed defenders on the first big planned protests. Now we have 5-6 protesting peeps with signs at a major intersection on weekends. La Mesa was a lesson

#7  Complacency is not a good strategy.

We're not really complacent out here in Leavemethefuckaloneistan. The author's depiction of us is pretty accurate: there is a wide variety of opinion, lifestyle, and ethnicity. (Or at least more than city dwellers suspect.) And we argue a lot among ourselves.

But all rural and small town people everywhere in the world live by the old Arab saying "Me against my brother, my brother and I against my cousin, and my brother, cousin, and I against the world." We tend to lock arms real fast when threatened by outsiders.

#6  True, is sane and calm here. The left cities are done. People are leaving if able. Their news goes unread. Paper dragon that has no life. No bailouts. Let them stew in their mess. Many are enjoying fishing here. They couldn't care less for the city people. Turn off media as many rural people are doing and you have happier times.

#3  The author is wrong on many points here. This insanity does not end within the borders of large cities. It is cultured there with the express purpose that it spread outward.

#2  That was a refreshing read. "Leavemethefuckaloneistan" sounds like a nice place to live. When it stops being that way, there is always "FartherOutLeavemethefuckaloneistan."
