A new book titled 'White Rural Rage' has sparked controversy, with various individuals criticizing its portrayal of white rural Christians as the cause of national problems. Washington State GOP Congressional candidate Joe Kent argues that the book is a diversion tactic by the left. Scholar Hamilton Craig and others have strongly criticized the book's premise, with accusations of misinterpretation of research and failure to understand rural America's political landscape. The authors of the book are accused of dismissing rural people's economic grievances as mere 'culture war.' Despite the book's claims, critics argue that it misrepresents the realities of rural life and fails to grasp the complexities of the issues faced by rural communities.
Re: White Rural Rage. I used to play in a punk band and we played shows in some rural areas, and I could never get folks out there to mosh. They wanted to just bob their heads to the music. Meanwhile in Cleveland, people were going off. So, I don't get this argument.

Batya Sargon: "White Rural Rage is leftist elite cope. They abandoned the multi racial working class and now call them racist to justify it. It's a slander on this great nation." https://t.co/Y0cwhrrgrM
White rural Americans are not raging enough. And when they do, I’m going to laugh so hard. https://t.co/vjHLvrvNxk
The best part of White Rural Rage is the full six pages predicated on Paul and Tom not understanding that people in rural areas use pickup trucks for things that are not their jobs. It’s incredible. Brothers in Christ my wife would kill me if I put a deer in the back of our RAV4.
The "White Rural Rage" book is a clown show. It's the 2024 version of all the absurd, self-serving Muslim rage discourse post-9/11. It's funny how elites who complain about punching down do precisely that when it's about white people who they don't like. https://t.co/CSouqyGZ7G
Review: ‘White Rural Rage’ by Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman - The Washington Post https://t.co/ENOxGB2a0S
"Rural White Rage" is so stupid, I deserve an award for reading it. To show that the backcountry is awfully bigoted, the book cites a polling that rural whites are more likely to "believe that Americans who live in other parts of the country don't understand [their] problems."

"White Rural Rage" authors @paulwaldman1 and @schaller67 claim that they would welcome a movement that represented rural people's grievances with the current economic order—but dismiss concerns about trade and immigration as mere "culture war." https://t.co/bjdp3nvcUZ

My latest piece for @compactmag_ is a review of White Rural Rage by Paul Waldman and Tom Schaller. The authors fail, predictably, to understand what's happening politically in rural America. https://t.co/DpF2broZnF
Both the Marxist author of “Immediacy” and the liberal pundits who wrote “White Rural Rage” talk about “late capitalism.” The ubiquity of this empty phrase is symptomatic of the increasing incoherence of the left-of-center worldview.

These researchers' work was cited in a new book on “white rural rage.” But the book got the research wrong. https://t.co/xs5XFtCXQ9
