MSNBC hosts, pundits panic on Twitter over polls: Voters choosing 'literal fascism'

MSNBC host Joy Reid spoke with commentator Dean Obeidallah about Biden turning up the heat in his rhetoric about MAGA Republicans in an early September broadcast.

Liberal MSNBC hosts and pundits worried about potential Democratic losses in the upcoming midterm elections, took to Twitter this week to stoke fears of "fascism" if voters supported Republican Party candidates.

The liberal anchors were largely reacting to a New York Times poll that found independent voters were turning to the GOP over concerns about the economy.

In a melodramatic tweet, MSNBC's Joy Reid bashed anyone who voted Republican as choosing "literal fascism."

"It's terrifying how many Americans will choose literal fascism, female serfdom, climate collapse and the reversal of everything from Social Security & Medicare to student loan relief bc they think giving Republicans the power to investigate Hunter Biden will bring down gas prices," she tweeted.

New MSNBC host and former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki also panicked over the idea that voters prioritized the economy.

"Holy moly siena/NYT poll ‘more than a third of independent voters and a smaller but noteworthy contingent of Democrats said they were open to supporting candidates who reject the legitimacy of the 2020 election…' as they focus on economic issues," she tweeted.

Professor Melissa Murray, often seen giving her legal takes on MSNBC, also expressed alarm over the news.

"Y'all. Economic downturns are cyclical. Fascism is forever," she warned.

On "Morning Joe," political analyst Anan Giridharadas saw the election as between "pro-democracy" and pro-fascism.

He claimed, "it's not about party i.d. at this point…It is a dead heat between democracy and fascism."

The problem with screaming 24/7 is that you become background noise.

So much stupidity...

Mass hysteria on the Left...

I don’t think people are going to buy into it. It’s just
too far out there now.

The more they spout stuff like this, the more obvious it
is.

Look at Trump’s agenda, and then look at what the Left
are pushing.

A dog could figure it out.

Anyone else tired of hearing “fascism” and “threat to our democracy”? I guess these are the new “Not paying their fair share” quotes.

Female serfdom?

Is she pissed off about the abortion decision?

If so, is she saying that any restrictions on abortion mean that a woman is a serf, that women are somehow back in medieval Europe???

If you don’t like not being able to pay for necessities, you’re a fascist. If you don’t like little children being taken to strip clubs and putting money down the thongs of the strippers, you’re a fascist. Etc.

If it’s any consolation, they don’t make nearly that. That’s why they still have to “scream for their supper” every day.

The Left uses “Literal” and “Fascism” with their opposite meanings.

Fascism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
