Joy Reid, the ever-spirited commentator over at MSNBC, has somehow managed to crank her anger level up to eleven, and, let’s be honest, it’s a sight to behold. It seems every time Donald Trump makes headlines, Reid transforms from a political commentator into a fierce advocate for Black empowerment. Not long ago, she was spouting progressive platitudes, but now she’s advocating for a stronger focus on Black communities and their unique challenges in America—though she does seem to reserve a special disdain for white liberal women, suggesting they should take a step back and listen.
Now, if you happen to be one of those white progressive women contemplating a protest against some imaginary Trumpian apocalypse, do yourself a favor: skip the invites to your Black friends. Spoiler alert, they’re not showing up. According to Reid, Black women are far too busy prioritizing their communities and businesses to engage in what’s being sold as the “Save America Coalition.” It’s as if she decided that the world needs a reality check, and she’s the one delivering it via impassioned rants on national television. What’s next? A segment on why brunch is overrated unless it’s served in Black-owned establishments?
As Reid storms the media battlefield, it’s hard not to chuckle at how MSNBC seems to be on the brink of a full-scale meltdown. Viewer numbers have plummeted significantly—54% down in a single week! How many more “urgent” meetings will they have to hold over cold coffee and stale donuts before someone realizes that perhaps Reid’s rants might not be the audience magnet they hoped for? In a twist of fate, even the likes of Megyn Kelly are predicting it’s only a matter of time before Reid gets shown the door. And let’s be honest; it might not be a bad idea for them to tidy up the roster a bit. Perhaps a “who can say the most outrageous thing” contest could re-engage the audience?
But wait! The fun doesn’t stop at Reid. She’s merely a microcosm of a much larger issue, and now the fallout is spilling over into the world of popular radio personalities. It seems there was an unwritten rule that as soon as Trump began pulling in sizable numbers of voters from communities of color, the progressive commentariat imploded. Enter stage left: Charlamagne tha God left scratching his head as he tries to comprehend the “Trump got one out of every three voters of color” phenomenon. Who could have imagined?
You see, amid this ideological chaos, Reid is doing America a solid by laying down the laws of engagement: don’t even think about mingling with those who oppose your beliefs, especially during the holiday season. So if you find yourself at a Thanksgiving dinner table loaded with people who might have voted differently than you, take Reid’s advice and throw a hissy fit instead of reaching for that turkey leg. Who needs family when you can just cancel them instead, right? Everything’s so much easier when you can simply ghost your relatives over differing political views.
And as for 2024, with all the leftist angst bubbling over, there’s sweet irony in the air—America is slowly waking up from its “woke” slumber. It appears that the Gen Z crowd is having their awakening, finally raising their voices against the self-righteous complexities of lifestyle politics. Whether it’s disillusioned influencers or just regular folks fed up with the fake woke brigade, a new movement is emerging. Who knew all it took was a little pushback for people to start waking up to the absurdity surrounding them? The Republican edge may be one TikTok video away from a major renaissance, and let’s hope Joy Reid’s rants keep the laughter coming because it’s just getting started!
