These people don’t live in reality. Apparently, they have no clue about their perceived enemies and what they believe.
From what I can tell, these people all read “What’s The Matter With Kansas” in the 1990’s and are forever stuck believing that their opponents are Bible-thumping Klansmen.
Clearly, however, the anger, hate, and fear is something they project onto others.

When Democrats lost power in 2016, their celeb talking heads threw tantrums, and threatened to leave for more progressive countries. Now they are calling for the break up of the Union. These are the same people who have always called Confederates traitors for trying the same.
They are calling for secession and voter suppression now, because they believe they will lose badly at the next elections. If they thought they were going to win, they would still be calling secessionists traitors.

Unfortunately, these folks don’t understand that it will soon be “What you mean ‘WE’ Kemosabe?” and these alliances they think they have melt away as the parties realign.
Working immigrant has way more in common with white working class than white managerial class. Once that immigrant class figures out that the management class is holding back their upward mobility, it’s over. Hopefully, with pitchforks and torches.

fundamentalist rural minority
“Fundamentalist” — obvious dog whistle for virulent, unreasoning Christophobia.
“Rural” — muh kulaks/ peasants
“Minority” — viewed in context, this is a normative statement, not a positive one. He’s not saying that Whites are a minority; he’s saying that they “should”b . And the tweet in the OP is not an outlier — Atkins constantly spews forth a veritable torrent of Christophobia and anti-White hatred from his Twitter account.
So what is the source of Atkins’ obvious hatred for the historic American nation; for the indigenous peoples of Europe and their diaspora? His physiognomy is… suspicious, to say the least. Not just the nose — the mouth that’s too wide for the face, the sloping forehead, the overall “alien” appearance, etc.
And he knows it — his obvious awareness that he “looks jewish” would be… unusual in someone entirely lacking in Levantine ancestry. He’s even got a stock answer to anyone who brings up the issue. “Just Danish — or maybe “Danish and English” — but you’re an ebil not-see for asking.. He’s “Not a jew” — merely an honorary jew. Interesting.
He seems to be obsessed with issues regarding jews and Israel — and speaks very freely about them. No hint of any worry that the ADL or related cabals might target him for his opinions. Looks like a typical mainstream “leftist” diaspora jew narrative — rootless cosmopolitanism is more important than absolute semitic military hegemony in the Middle East, optics matter, Bibi/ Likud bad, etc. Some occasional almost-favorable mentions of JVP, but steers clear of BDS overall.
But what’s this? Here he’s happily discussing his apparent hatred for Bibi/ Likud with some people named Julia Rosen, Ilissa Gold, and Richard Yeselson, when a JVP type named Joshua Holland pipes up, and all of a sudden Atkins morphs into the reincarnation of Sheldon Adelson: “Hamas remains a murderous, terrorist org.” “right of return a nonstarter” Semitic supremacist settler-colonialists in Palestine are “scared b/c their neighbors want to kill them,” Arafat bad and evil, etc. Typical “Danish” behavior.
Can anyone guess how this “Danish leftist” feels about Jeremy Corbyn?
Just another “Fellow White Person” — honest.

Duh. That one should be https://jstreet.org/“>J Street, not JVP. Jewish Voice for Peace is a Chomskyite group that [ostensibly] supports BDS; J Street claims to support a 2 state solution, and opposes BDS, but tries to appeal to liberal sensibilities by saying boycotting Israel should still be legal. The settler-colonialists in Palestine don’t seem to understand the purpose of this narrative straddle — just take a look at this piece from the Times of Israel. The article itself is relatively neutral but the comments are all along the lines of [paraphrased] “What’s all this ‘free speech for the goyim s–t? if the Tribe is opposed to a particular position, the only “moral” stance is to Shut. It. Down. Completely. Just throw ’em in prison and bulldoze their houses — works for us.”
The characterization of Joshua Holland as a JVP type is more accurate.

J-Street is no different than AIPAC. It was created specifically because Netanyahu couldn’t not show his racist contempt for Obama, and they were truly scared Obama would take it personally.
But there is no difference between J-Street and AIPAC when it comes to genocide of Palestinians.
JVP is a bit different – they are still Zionists, but they do more or less want some kind of peaceful solution. They don’t have the bloodthirsty hatred that AIPAC and J-Street do.

Makes sense. Part of the problem may have been Bibi’s attitude toward the kushim, but part of it was policy — Obama was also too close to the “wrong” kind of jews. He lived right across the street from, not Jeremiah Wright’s church, not some mosque, but from Rabbi Wolf’s temple. As the <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/obama-the-jewish-president/"Times of Israel put it:
To understand how Obama came to embody the Jewish liberalism that America’s leading Jewish organizations have abandoned, one must understand his relationship with a rabbi named Arnold Jacob Wolf.
Wolf was pretty left wing on Zionism issues even for a diaspora jew — his organization was targeted for attacks by JDL thugs — so for the revisionist Zionists in Palestine, he was off the scale. And Obama was pretty tight with Wolf. Too much rootless cosmopolitanism, not enough ethnonationalism.
Sure, the Pritzkers vouched for Obama, and he was willing to take on hardcore Israel Firsters like Rahm Emanuel as close advisers. But look at the Crowns, another family of semitic plutocrats who had been financially backing Obama since the 90s (so they probably were OK dealing with a schvartze). Susan Crown defected to Romney in 2012. Why? …he suggested that Israel go back to 1967 borders. That infuriated me.
Incidentally, the “Obama is a Muslim” canard can be interpreted as projection of this intra-ethnic conflict onto external enemies. See also the converse, “Russian” [Israeli] influence in the 2016 election.
JVP is a bit different – they are still Zionists, but they do more or less want some kind of peaceful solution.
Sure. Hence Mr. Atkin’s mask-slipping episode, and his outburst of, uh, Danish rage when Mr. Holland chimed in in that Twitter exchange.
