Election Day is upon us. But there is one more evening left of propaganda passing as analysis left to air on the Regime Media’s premier outlet, MSNBC. A Trump-deranged opening editorial from Joy Reid signals both the end and an as-yet undetermined beginning.
WATCH as Reid sets the tone for her viewers by dispensing with such concepts as facts, truth, and reasonable discourse, instead going for the inflammatory and borderline defamatory:
ELECTION DISINFORMATION: In bizarre and Trump-deranged opening monologue, MSNBC's @JoyAnnReid informs viewers that Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro is of the "far right". North Korea called and said to dial it down a notch. pic.twitter.com/ENxXv2IT86

JOY REID: And we begin our final sprint having arrived at that point in the election season where, basically, we on this side of the TV screen have said all we can. We’ve laid out the stakes in this crucial election where one side stands for freedom, while the other meets the textbook definition of fascism. Namely, a far right dictatorial regime like Hitler's Germany or Franco's Spain or Mussolini's Italy, but also white-ruled South Africa before Mandela and the black majority took control, or Vladimir Putin's Russia, Viktor Orban's Hungary, or Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela today, that suppresses the rights of women and minorities, uses the military to execute the whims of a strongman dictator and controls and suppresses the press, education, the arts- rewrites history to suit a favored and dominant racial class, and foments extravagant corruption in order to enrich the dictator and his friends.
Reid holds nothing back in her bilious open, spewing equal parts disinformation and defamation. Reid goes so far as to reinvent Venezuelan narcocommunist dictator Nicolás Maduro as “far right” in order to add him to the fascist parade of comparable horribles to former President Donald Trump, while in the process tickling MSNBC’s dozens of viewers in Miami-Dade County.
The rant, which runs over 7 minutes, breathlessly and in interminable sentences, plays like an abridged summary of Reid’s deranged rants during the time that Trump has been on the national scene. Like a box of chocolates, there is something for everyone.
Reid then makes sure to squee over the FCC rule-breaking Saturday Night Live skit performed by Maya Rudolph and Kamala Harris. And during her close, Reid made sure to make known her contempt for voters prioritizing their own economic self-interests:
REID: If the worst happens, don't leave yourself wondering what if you’d made that one last phone call or bugged that last family member who might not vote or planned to vote for the would-be Dictator on Day One because they thought, I don't know, maybe eggs would be a little cheaper.
The Regime Media hates you. And, as Reid makes crystal clear over the course of this insane rant, their contempt for the American public shall continue, regardless of the outcome of the election.

JOY REID: And we begin our final sprint having arrived at that point in the election season where, basically, we on this side of the TV screen have said all we can. We’ve laid out the stakes in this crucial election where one side stands for freedom, while the other meets the textbook definition of fascism. Namely, a far right dictatorial regime like Hitler's Germany or Franco's Spain or Mussolini's Italy, but also white-ruled South Africa before Mandela and the black majority took control, or Vladimir Putin's Russia, Viktor Orban's Hungary, or Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela today, that suppresses the rights of women and minorities, uses the military to execute the whims of a strongman dictator and controls and suppresses the press, education, the arts- rewrites history to suit a favored and dominant racial class, and foments extravagant corruption in order to enrich the dictator and his friends. We’ve warned you about Donald Trump's profound unfitness for office, from his theft of classified documents and attempted insurrection, to his clear cognitive and physical decline, to what he plans to do if he returns to power. Threatening to lock up or even execute his political opponents. Increasing federal capital punishment and unleashing the police unrestrained. Using the military to suppress protests, banning abortion nationwide by enforcing the Comstock Act. Persecuting LGBTQ Americans, spiking prices and crashing the economy with across-the-board tariffs that amount to a giant Trump tax on everything you buy that's imported from overseas. Firing tens of thousands of dedicated civil servants and putting people in charge of our government like Elon Musk, who has essentially purchased Trump for $75 million. Peter Thiel, who already owns Trump's would-be woman hating vice president JD Vance. Tom Homan, who vows to deport whole families of immigrants that could include U.S. citizens. Stephen Miller, who seems to dream of the return of internment camps to U.S. soil along with mass deportation to make America white again. RFK Jr., who Trump has vowed to put in charge of not just women's health but all of our health. And who this weekend announced that the first order of business will be to end the fluoridation of our water supply. Taking us back to an era when childhood cavities and oral disease were rampant. You know, I guess that's before he ends childhood vaccination to, quote, “Make America Healthy Again”, by allowing measles, mumps, and polio to make a comeback alongside the coronavirus, and hell, why not bring back the bubonic plague. And, of course, there's Trump himself. Who this weekend topped his previous insanity by questioning whether a Greek NBA player whose parents were Nigerian immigrants to that country is really Greek. Presumably because he isn't white. And boasted about his own beautiful white skin.
DONALD TRUMP: I would say the Greek is a seriously good player. Do you agree? And tell me, who has more Greek in him? The Greek or me? I think we have about the same. Right? That white, beautiful white skin that I have would be nice and tan. I got the whitest skin because I never have time to go out in the sun, but I have that beautiful white, and you know what, it could have been beautiful tan, beautiful.
REID: Trump also did something to a microphone that I actually couldn't post on TikTok without the video getting pulled down for violating their community standards. But you know, since we're on cable, I will show it to you now.
(TRUMP GESTURING)
REID: People had children in that audience, by the way. And he closed out his Pennsylvania rally on Sunday by saying he shouldn't have left The White House in 2020. He should have just stayed forever. And then, he invited whoever felt the urge to shoot members of the press.
TRUMP: I have a piece of glass over here. And I don't have a piece of glass there. And I have this piece of glass here. But all we have really over here is the fake news. And to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the Fake News, right? And to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the Fake News. And I don't mind that so much. I don't mind. I don't mind that.
REID: At this point, what more do you need to know? Meanwhile, also this weekend but on Earth One, SNL fans finally got the moment they have been waiting for ever since Maya Rudolph debuted her spot on impersonation of Kamala Harris.
MAYA RUDOLPH (AS KAMALA HARRIS): Now Kamala, take my palmala. The American people want to stop the chaos --
KAMALA HARRIS: And end the dramala.
RUDOLPH: With a cool new stepmamala, kick back in our pajamalas, and watch a Romcomala.
HARRIS: Like Legally Blondeala.
RUDOLPH: And start decorating for Christmas, falalala. Because what do we always say?
HARRIS: Keep Calmala and carry onala.
REID: Keep Calmala, carry onala, and end the dramala. That sounds like a mantra we could all use as we prepare to make a crucial choice: who we want to be in the world and who we want to lead us. A first woman president leading with hope, or a fascist leading with fear. And while no one can tell you in advance what the outcome of the election will be, the best advice I can give you all tonight is to take deep breaths over the next 24 hours. Get good sleep, tune out the politics from time to time to restore your sanity, but make sure that on the morning of November 6th, you can say that you are proud of what you did in this moment. That you didn't sit out what could be our last election. If the worst happens, don't leave yourself wondering what if you’d made that one last phone call or bugged that last family member who might not vote or planned to vote for the would-be Dictator on Day One because they thought, I don't know, maybe eggs would be a little cheaper. If your daughter or your wife has a crisis pregnancy a year from now, and can't get treatment because abortion is banned, or the doors start getting kicked in from the mass deportations, don't leave yourself feeling less than proud of what you did in this election. Because if this thing goes south, there won't be time to ask for forgiveness. The way autocracy works is that by the time you realize what you have lost, it's usually already too late. But there is still time. And still a lot of hope and excitement and possibility. Election Day is tomorrow. If you haven’t voted yet, or if your friends and family haven’t voted yet, there is still time.
