New Yorker Snob on MSNBC: Trump's White Male 'Lower-Educated' Base Just Too Dumb

Today's AM Joy show on MSNBC provided a virtual parody of liberal-elite condescension to Trump supporters. Joy Reid kicked things off by finding it "confusing" that Trump's populist base supports him despite supposedly not "getting anything economically out of this plutocracy."

[snip]

Ultraliberal writer Jane Mayer of The New Yorker [infamous for co-authoring a book trashing Justice Clarence Thomas with Jill Abramson while they were reporters at The Wall Street Journal] explained to the befuddled Reid that Trump's "racist and anger-laced" rhetoric "excites the lower-educated part of his base, the white-male base, particularly. And so he's saying things that make his supporters feel good."

Lol!!

Buncha goofuses.

When I come across the occasional snob who thinks he or she is better than I am because of my Texas accent, I enjoy exaggerating that accent just to be annoying.

YOLO!

“On my best days... telling them truths they need to know for our democracy to work.” And then I teach them how to destroy those truths.

I agree with her, free people need a free press. But she means, “The press must be free to totally leave out everything we don’t like.” Does she want to see thousands of examples? No.
