‘The brand is so toxic’: Dems fear extinction in rural US
By STEVE PEOPLES

SMETHPORT, Pa. (AP) — Some Democrats here in rural Pennsylvania are afraid to tell you they’re Democrats.

The party’s brand is so toxic in the small towns 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh that some liberals have removed bumper stickers and yard signs and refuse to acknowledge their party affiliation publicly. These Democrats are used to being outnumbered by the local Republican majority, but as their numbers continue to dwindle, the few that remain are feeling increasingly isolated and unwelcome in their own communities.

“The hatred for Democrats is just unbelievable,” said Tim Holohan, an accountant based in rural McKean County who recently encouraged his daughter to get rid of a pro-Joe Biden bumper sticker. “I feel like we’re on the run.”

The climate across rural Pennsylvania is symptomatic of a larger political problem threatening the Democratic Party ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. Beyond losing votes in virtually every election since 2008, Democrats have been effectively ostracized from many parts of rural America, leaving party leaders with few options to reverse a cultural trend that is redefining the nation’s political landscape.

Captains may retire, but legends never die.

My heart bleeds for these people.  They don't like the taste of what they've been dishing out for so long they don't even know they're doing it, so we need to ladle it out good and heavy.

I thought the Dems gave up on rural areas long ago.

City-slicker elitist Ivy League educated Dem donor class have disdain and disgust for their deplorable ignorant racist xenophobic homophobic slackjawed inbred drunken redneck confederate-flag-waving white-supremacist neo-Nazi hick church-going KKK-hooded compatriots, as they view them.

How could country rubes even be aware of how little Dems think of them?

Don't feel bad, cowpie-tossers.  The Dems also have the same feelings towards other traditional constituencies, such as pro-life Catholics, fossil fuel industry workers, blue collar workers, and ethnic and immigrant Catholic conservatives.

Vermont has many New York born trust fund babies.  They're urbanites who are slumming it in the country.

Only the stupid have no fear, so you are correct!

@Cyber Liberty    They're ideology driven, have stayed true to their 10 and 20 year plans, are fearlessly corrupt, and winning  --- if not already victorious.  What democrats are not is "stupid".
