Joy Reid claims conservatives demand liberals 'coddle' them

MSNBC host Joy Reid issued a bitter and vindictive Thanksgiving Day rant Thursday in which she claimed it was conservatives – not liberals – who rely on “victimhood” to press their issues and they can do Thanksgiving by themselves this year after the stunning victory of President-elect Donald Trump.

“So there is this strong dual energy among MAGA people and their apologists, and it actually fits quite neatly with the history of America, it's equal parts bully energy, where they want to relentlessly troll liberals and lash out at minorities, and a victim energy, where those same liberals are supposed to take the trolling quietly and also pity the trolls. It's the eternal victimhood of the conservative. We need to constantly coddle, study, and understand them,” Reid said sarcastically, adding that conservative figures are "required to try to understand liberals and progressives."

“We are the constant handmaidens and wet nurses who are required to baby them, understand them and serve them dinner,” she said.

“And if we want just a mental health break from their conspiracy theories and complaints about trans people in the bathroom and on the soccer field and in the schools … we are the ones in the wrong. In short, our dinner, their choice,” she continued, saying that it's he "same energy their forefathers had toward the indigenous tribes.”

“Hey, let's have Thanksgiving dinner on the land we stole from you. But before we pack you off to the reservation and snuff out your culture, could you please pass the corn on the cob?” Reid then went on to equate the Pilgrims to the illegal immigrants who continue to stream across the border under the Biden-Harris administration. She said “you right-wingers” should have “to suffer the consequences” of voting for Trump.

Apparently agreeing with Whoopi Goldberg who recently advised Democratic voters to stay away from Republican family members during the holidays, Reid said, “You don't want to be around me because I voted for fascism? No fair. I am coughing on you with COVID, but you want me to wear a mask for your safety? No fair, my body, my choice. Well, here's an alternative thought. Make your own dinner, MAGA. Make your own sandwiches, wipe your own tears, troll amongst yourselves with Elon and leave us alone.”

And of course, it all came back to Trump. “You got your heart's desire: the president you dreamed of and worshiped instead of Jesus and this time you didn't even have to storm the Capitol, smash the windows or try to kill police officers or issue death threats to poll workers. See you did it just by voting this time. Congrats. You got your way.”
