Joy Ann Reid is described as a national correspondent for MSNBC. That means that Ms. Reid is certainly a resident of the liberal government/media bubble in DC and New York. Even if she is physically located outside that bubble, her mind is firmly ensconced inside it. Today she wrote a piece for the Daily Beast that makes this plain. According to Reid, the support for Donald Trump comes almost entirely from white male voters.
I'm not going to summarize all that Reid had to say. I see no reason to waste your time with such nonsense. It's enough that she sees Trump's support as almost completely white and male. What surprises me most about this view is that it makes me wonder if the liberals in the government/media bubble actually believe this. Many of them are highly educated, indeed, too highly educated for them to accept such a flawed premise. Nevertheless, Reid is just parroting a narrative that has been part of the Trump phenomenon from the beginning of the race. So do they really believe this garbage? I think they do.
If one were to listen to MSNBC, one would learn that Trump is:
1. racist
2. homophobic
3. misogynistic
4. mentally unstable
5. dishonest
That's why only white men like him. These white guys all feel threatened that their days in control of the USA are coming to an end. That is Reid's current message.
The strange thing is that Reid and the others actually believe that they can convince the average American that they should disregard the sad reality of today's America and decide how to vote instead on the slurs and smears hurled at Trump by the liberal media. You understand. The guy who lost his job and is now working part time at a much lower paying one should refuse to vote for Trump because Hillary supports letting transgendered individuals use whatever locker room they want. The people whose jobs disappeared when the Chinese fixed the market to gain market share are now supposed to ignore the candidate who says he will correct that trade mess and vote instead for the one who "supports" supposedly free trade and who says nothing unless it is first polled and focus grouped.
The reality of America is that there are millions of people who will not sit still and watch the country go down the drain in the name of political correctness or some other liberal view of the moment. Those people include a lot more than white guys. But hey, Ms. Reid, don't let me have reality intrude into your bubble. You keep explaining how it's just white guys who support Trump. Maybe next January you can cover Trump's inauguration and explain how it came to pass.
