Hey Jim! Hey Deanna! I just finished a book, NYT bestseller fof whatever that’s worth, called WHITE RURAL RAGE. Authors seem to say that rural white majority have no idea what to ask their reps for and are filled with rage from being brainwashed by right wing media, mostly fox. They need someone to help them wake up. They’re probably already doing that now, (witness the changing political climate there in Texas now), but y’all are in the perfect place now to create the organization to urge them on!
I don't think Hightower's read either, but there was a lot about White Rural Rage that was problematic with their hypothesis and whatnot. Another one you might consider checking, which I personally LOVED, is THE RURAL VOTER: https://cup.columbia.edu/book/the-rural-voter/9780231211581/
Keep growing! Your voice is OUR voice. I’m a proud subscriber since your print days too. Thanks Jim & Deanna for all you’re doing to defend our Democracy!
And promote the Democracy written in our U.S.A. Constitution. Empower the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act back to the days of it's inception to take action on Love Canal catching fire and burning all kinds of toxic industrial waste dump into the waterways, Just a bunch of lamebrains. I put my drinking and cooking water from the hot water tap through my Berky Filter and thank God that l don't live in the coalfields of West Virginia or Kentucky.
Speaking of showing up, the no kings rally is tomorrow. I haven't seen anything about it in the news like the last 2. The declaration of independence started our freedom from kings but it was the revolutionary War that made it possible. The revolution wasn't won by a bunch of pussies hiding under a rock, get out and join the no kings revolution.
I’m so happy to hear this. I’ve been a subscriber since your print days and love your work. So glad more folks are getting an opportunity to see it❤️😊🎉

I'm one of those new subscribers! I love hearing Jim on my local community radio, too.
Welcome to the party, Kris!
