Paul Krugman Plays the Fool: 'White Rural Rage' Is 'Single Greatest Threat Facing American Democracy' By Mike Miller

Paul Krugman Plays the Fool: 'White Rural Rage' Is 'Single Greatest Threat Facing American Democracy' By Mike Miller 
""Distinguished" economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman... the elitist, bubble-dwelling left-winger made a complete fool out of himself by declaring "white rural rage" is the "single greatest threat facing America" today.
Not only did Krugman fail to connect the dots between "white rural rage" and whatever "single greatest threat" he concocted in his TDS-riddled brain, but he also failed to provide a single example of how this alleged rage is manifested...
In a Monday NYT op-ed titled "The Mystery of White Rural Rage," Krugman hyperbolically wrote (emphasis, mine):

...This is especially true when technological change undermines not just individual workers but whole communities.

This isn’t a hypothetical proposition. It’s a big part of what has happened to rural America.

This process and its effects are laid out in devastating, terrifying, and baffling detail in “White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy,” a new book by Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman. I say “devastating” because the hardship of rural Americans is real, “terrifying” because the political backlash to this hardship poses a clear and present danger to our democracy, and “baffling” because at some level I still don’t get the politics...
