We reported on the half-joking/maybe serious discussion between Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr. about Musk maybe buying MSNBC in the wake of their falling ratings and Comcast moving to split off MSNBC and some of their other properties into a separate entity, perhaps as a prelude to sale. The prospect of a sale and people possibly getting canned has to be making the “talent” at MSNBC nervous. Add then, the prospect that Musk might buy the network and then control their fates. That would truly drive them crazy.

Imagine what Joy Reid would do. She’s already showing that she can’t take Trump winning as we reported earlier with her bizarre remarks about race, the economy, and why Trump won.

But then there were also these wild remarks that she made to Trump supporters explaining to them why they should accept that if friends or family don’t want to be with them for Thanksgiving. She claimed Trump was putting together a “cabinet of horrors” and railed about Project 2025 (which Trump has nothing to do with). But then she really went over the slide. It’s perhaps extra funny because she seems to deliver these remarks in sort of a whisper and as though she’s looking over her shoulder.

“People are rightfully alarmed. They have reason to be alarmed,” Reid argued.
“And if — if you would vote for that, people may not feel so confident that they’re safe with you. This is not crazy,” she insisted. Yes, it is.
This is legitimate feelings of fear, of you, and of feeling that you might not be someone they could trust. If this thing goes way south, autocracies go south real fast and things get ugly and people get asked to do things and turn people in and point people out and turn on them. And if you’re voting affirmatively, gleefully for this, people might — I don’t know, may not feel so confident in you anymore. That’s real, and you kind of have to live with it. So if you think that you can vote for what people see as their destruction and then demand that they still are cool with you and kiki with you and have Thanksgiving with you, like, I think you’re kind of missing the point of what people are upset about. They’re afraid. And autocracy and fascism are things that are legitimate to afraid of. So, you may want to step back.”

No, this insane response isn’t a legitimate response. Trump supporters were not voting for autocracy, they were voting for better government. Because you see Hitler coming out of the bushes doesn’t make it reality.
But the funny thing here is that it’s Democrats who were the ones calling for turning people in during COVID for not wearing masks, not being vaxxed, or breaking “rules/mandates.” It wasn’t Republicans, who stand for freedom. It was Reid’s people, so maybe she should “step back” when she’s talking about autocracies.
Even though Trump supporters might have every reason to be disturbed at people who might have voted for Kamala Harris after years of seeing how bad a Biden-Harris government was, it isn’t the Trump supporters who are talking about cutting off family or friends on Thanksgiving.
Plus, she’s talking to Trump supporters? Why would any Trump supporters take any advice from Joy Reid? But it certainly does confirm again how out there she is in her thinking.
It’s perhaps not surprising that MSNBC’s ratings are in the basement when you have folks like this spewing constant nonsense.
