The latest election night delivered a hefty dose of hilarity courtesy of MSNBC’s Joy Reid, who appeared to be undergoing an electrifying meltdown as the numbers rolled in. As it became increasingly clear that former President Donald Trump was making his triumphant return to the White House, Reid shifted blame from the obvious—Democratic failures—to the “patriarchy” and “white women” for their perceived betrayal in not backing Vice President Kamala Harris with enough fervor. According to her colorful commentary, her home state of Florida had devolved into an “extreme right-wing fascist state,” showing just how disoriented she had become amidst the election chaos.
The night reached its first peak of absurdity when Reid realized that Texas Senator Ted Cruz had successfully warded off a challenge from Democratic Rep. Colin Allred. Instead of acknowledging a political reality that simply eluded her, Reid resorted to claiming rampant voter suppression. Despite no evidence in sight, she asserted that the real culprit was Harris County, where Houston lies, saying it was a “very voter-suppressed state.” It seemed as if Myers-Briggs had concocted a special dose of “emotional reasoning” just for her.
As the night rolled on and even more bad news poured in for the Democrats, Reid was still grappling with reality. She had the audacity to declare that while “Black voters came through for Kamala Harris,” those dastardly “white women voters” had simply failed to deliver their necessary support. If Reid were to indulge in free association afterward, it felt like she waded deep into a whirlpool where logic took a vacation, leading her to lament about women not sufficiently challenging the oppressive “patriarchy.” One could only reach for the popcorn as her remarks danced precariously between the ridiculous and the outright nonsensical.

Reid’s colorful language and emotional outbursts reached a crescendo when she hurled accusations against Florida for being a lost cause while calling it an “extreme right-wing fascist state.” For context, this is simply what happens when a swing state starts voting red consistently. The Democrat’s inability to grasp this shift seems to have struck a chord of panic in Reid’s world, causing her to mischaracterize an entire state filled with residents she couldn’t possibly understand.
Things didn’t improve from there. As Reid continued her spiraling descent, she accused voters of favoring Trump’s rhetoric, simultaneously praising Harris’s campaign as “flawless,” a claim so bewildering it could leave one questioning if Reid had fallen out of touch with not just reality, but also basic campaign expectations. The chatter became increasingly wild as Reid suggested Trump’s victory gave Israel the green light for “ethnic cleansing” in Gaza. It was almost artistic in its absurdity, illustrating how far a person can stray when reason is consistently thrown out the window.
By the end of the night, it was clear that Reid’s meltdown was among the most entertaining media moments of the election cycle. Her increasingly erratic claims and emotional tirades provide a prime example of how leftist pundits can lose all touch when their narratives don’t pan out. For conservatives watching it all unfold, there’s a sense of schadenfreude, reveling in the knowledge that the next few years might just come with a front-row ticket to more joyously unhinged performances from joyless Reid and her fellow travelers on cable news.
