On MSNBC’s The ReidOut, host Joy Reid melted down once again over Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. Proving how terrified the left is of DeSantis becoming the Republican nominee. According to Reid, DeSantis is a “more functionally authoritarian version of Trump” and would seek a return to a “Pre-civil rights America.”
Reid started off her show by wailing that “if Florida Governor Ron DeSantis becomes President of the United States, which he is clearly aiming for, America will become the land of total government control over women’s bodies, black history, gender identity, how you can teach, learn, read, think, even talk!”
“It would essentially be a more functionally authoritarian version of Trump, a more action, less personality type of President who's basically offering two options. Pre-civil rights America, or total control of society,” Reid huffed.
Then she got to the real reason for bringing up DeSantis, he’s out this week with a brand new book. This gave Reid an opportunity to mock the title.
“[H]is new book titled, and I’m not making this up, "the courage to be free" has a firsthand account from the blue-collar boy with a dream to take down Disney and librarians,” Reid said with a smug smirk.
She also thought it was amusing or even newsworthy to bring up that the leftwing rag The New York Times had criticized the book. It would be newsworthy only if they praised it:
It got scorched by The New York Times obviously. Its reviewer saying, quote, all the culture war mad libs can't distract from the dull coldness at this book's core. And that it will leave some supporters who have encouraged DeSantis to humanize himself, sorely disappointed.
Reid also found it amusing that DeSantis had written a book prior to this one. Like the child that she is, Reid seemed to enjoy asking her rabid left-wing audience: “Did you know that this isn't even baby MAGA’s first book?”
“He also penned Dreams from our Founding Fathers published in 2011. And it pretty much sums up what we already know about the guy,” she sneered.
Reid is deathly afraid of DeSantis becoming the GOP nominee because she knows deep down that he will cruise right into the White House and enact policies that she despises.
Always pay attention to who the leftist media attacks the most. That’s who they are most afraid of.

7:05:17 p.m. EasternJOY REID: The story about a cartoon creator becoming the voice of the great white male freakout doesn’t end with Dilbert or even at Elon Musk. It ends or rather begins with white grievance politics potentially becoming U.S. federal policy. If Florida Governor Ron DeSantis becomes President of the United States, which he is clearly aiming for, America will become the land of total government control over women’s bodies, black history, gender identity, how you can teach, learn, read, think, even talk!
It would essentially be a more functionally authoritarian version of Trump, a more action, less personality type of President who's basically offering two options. Pre-civil rights America, or total control of society. But of course, his robust PR team has you thinking quite the opposite. Which is why his new book titled, and I’m not making this up, "the courage to be free" has a firsthand account from the blue-collar boy with a dream to take down Disney and librarians. It got scorched by The New York Times obviously. Its reviewer saying, quote, all the culture war mad libs can't distract from the dull coldness at this book's core. And that it will leave some supporters who have encouraged DeSantis to humanize himself, sorely disappointed.
The world DeSantis is building, the reviewer said down in Florida is one that uses the power of government to make the Dilbert guys of the world feel comfortable, they feel good about themselves. Did you know that this isn't even baby MAGA’s first book? He also penned Dreams from our Founding Fathers published in 2011. And it pretty much sums up what we already know about the guy. David Waldstreicher wrote about the book in The Atlantic saying the most revealing and consequential element of the book is the insistence that the role of slavery and race more broadly, does not seriously change anything about how we should understand the birth and development of our country.
