Friend,
Episode 199 uploaded April 28: It’s
been one of those weeks… Sam Goldman shares commentary on the wildly fascist
logic coming from the Supreme Court this past week; the wave of repression sweeping American
universities against the courageous students and professors continuing
to demand an end to the US-supported genocide in Gaza waged by Israel; plus notes on the indictments released by Arizona against a who’s who
list of fascists including the fake electors who attempted to substitute
themselves during the 2020 coup attempt.
Then, she talks with Tom Schaller, co-author (along with Paul Waldman) of White Rural Rage. Schaller
is a professor of political science at the University of Maryland,
Baltimore County. A former columnist for The Baltimore Sun, he has
written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Los Angeles
Times.

Tom Schaller:
Rural
white people in particular believe that they have been sidelined,
ignored, disrespected. And they direct that anger, particularly at urban
elites, and especially minorities, because they believe that the
government is tuned towards cities and the minorities who live there,
that their way of life is disappearing accordingly because of political
decisions... It's true that from a purely numerical standpoint that
white Christian and male power is receding. But does that justify them
removing the guardrails from democracy? Does that justify them saying
the President should act unilaterally in direct defiance of the
Constitution? Does that justify their incredible xenophobia toward
immigrants? Does that justify their higher racial resentment scores? It
does not.
Next week will be the 200th episode of Refuse Fascism. Help
reach more people during a year when refusing fascism is needed more
