excerpt: Before introducing Reid, Wallace read aloud an excerpt of the book talking about how Trump seemed to normalize...the public display of thuggery and open racism by white Americans who felt empowered to assert themselves as the arbiters of cultural legitimacy in his name and accusing President Trump of waging a new American civil war, according to MSNBC. Reid told Wallace that she rejected the idea that President Trump was elected because of economic anxiety, arguing that what really elected him was racialized anxiety so that if your economic situation isn't as good as your parents', you blame it on Mexicans. From comparing President Trump to your racist Uncle Jerry and Archie Bunker to accusing him of putting on a Roman coliseum with little brown kids and abuelas for his base, the MSNBC personalities made it perfectly clear just how much they despise President Trump. Reid proceeded to compare President Trump to your racist Uncle Jerry that's sitting around screaming about Japan and China ruining America and Mexicans...moving into the neighborhood and making it dirty and trashy. Reid agreed with Wallace, telling her that unlike President Trump, he had a heart. Wallace brought up the Archie Bunker parallel, adding that Archie Bunker was a lot warmer.
