Trump Voters Have ‘Racial Anxiety’ — They ‘Want Revenge’

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Wednesday on her show “The Readout” that voters who support former President Donald Trump have “racial anxiety” over changing demographics. He said he believed he wanted “revenge” for that reason.

Reed said, “This time it's a revenge tour. We always talk about Trump. We need to talk about his voters as well. And I know, in the media world, we don't respect America's great voters.” But, as Tom Nichols writes in The Atlantic, these particular voters also want revenge on their fellow citizens. “The Republican base is “We are actively accepting President Trump's complaints.” It imitates his narrow-mindedness. It confirms his childish inability to accept responsibility. These voters are not sighing and giving up, or voting for the lesser of two, three, or four evils. they are getting what they want. Because they too are determined to take revenge. ”

She continued, “I want to talk about the role of the media in all of this, because the question of whether the media has always had a kind of pull during what we call wake-up calls, or therapy calls.'' “Because I was talking about it.'' At a time when it was best to criticize American voters and look at them a little more carefully, even a candidate like Trump. And I go back to the 1930s. At the time, the New York Times ran an article about Adolf Hitler saying, oh, he's going to be temperate when he becomes president, and the real power is in his hands. I feel like the same thing is happening again because people don't want to come towards voters. But these voters are actively asserting, “Yes, we want a dictatorship.” Yes, we want him to be a dictator. Yes, we like dictatorships. And it just hasn't been investigated yet. ”
