Joy Reid’s spectacular post-election psychotic breakdown continued unabated with a wild rant about her belief that folks like herself shouldn’t invite MAGA supporters to their Thanksgiving Day feasts.

Reid’s rant came at the end of her Wednesday night episode of “The Reidout.”
We warn you, it is rather long-winded, which is of no surprise for Reid. Or anybody at MSNBC, really. But it’s so chock-full of insanity that one feels compelled to analyze.
If you mix up some racism, a complete lack of understanding of history, and ignorance of laws, then stir in a little bit of emotional and intellectual underdevelopment, throw it all in the oven, and voilà … this is what you’d end up with.
“Our dinner, their choice. It’s the same energy their forefathers had toward the indigenous tribes. ‘Hey, let’s have Thanksgiving dinner on the land we stole from you,'” Reid begins. “‘But before we pack you off to the reservation and snuff out your culture, could you please pass the corn on the cob?'”
Don’t, even for a second, think that is where it ends. Because it doesn’t.

Reid, practically rabid at this point, goes on to note the history of racism in this country and claims America did little more than throw Black Americans scraps by having Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Juneteenth, and electing Barack Obama.
“There’s the dozens of post-Civil War massacres wiping out black communities from Louisiana to North Carolina to Rosewood, Florida and Tulsa, Oklahoma, where black communities got burned to the ground by racist white mobs, a century later gentrified when rich folks want to live downtown because it’s closer to work,” she fumed.
“But let’s just call it even, because y’all got King Day, a black president, and Juneteenth. Geez, what more do you want? Accurate history? What, are you trying to hurt our feelings?”
That’s right. America is so racist that they only elected Obama — twice — to shut her kind up. Imagine denigrating Barack’s entire legacy by suggesting his eight years in office were to throw people a bone.
Served up in the next course? Ignorance of the laws of a sovereign nation. And history. She compares illegal immigration today to European settlers coming to the New World in the early 1600s.
“These are the people who say the undocumented, who they get to call illegal immigrants — like the pilgrims had permission to come here — have to suffer the consequences of their actions, right?” Reid wondered. “They made the choice to overstay their visas or come into our country illegally.”

Reid then punctuated things with this message on Thanksgiving, the holiday where we come together with family despite our differences and celebrate the blessings we have:
But you right-wingers shouldn’t have to suffer the consequences of your votes. You don’t want to be around me because I voted for fascism. No fair. I’m 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. You got your heart’s desire, the president you dreamed of in worship instead of Jesus.
Nothing quite screams unity and family like “Make your own dinner, MAGA.”
And suggesting MAGA has to “wipe your own tears” when you’re clearly on the verge of a complete emotional breakdown is something to behold.
“If we want to eat with you, we will. But if we just want some peace over the holidays and we don’t want to put up with your trolling while we eat our turkey, get over it. Stop acting like we owe you,” Reid adds.
“And for God’s sakes, stop whining. It’s embarrassing,” she concluded after embarrassingly whining for the previous three minutes.

This isn’t even the first insane rant from Joy Reid about the holiday. Earlier this week, she urged Democrat voters to isolate themselves from their pro-Trump family members on Thanksgiving because they voted for “fascism.”
It seems pretty clear that Joy Reid is not well. She has not been well for quite some time, but her condition has escalated significantly since November 5th. MSNBC is doing her no favors by airing these breakdowns for the world to see.
They need to intervene and get her some help.
