MSNBC host Joy Reid expressed her belief on “The ReidOut” that those who voted for President-elect Donald Trump should not expect people who did not vote for him to join them for Thanksgiving. Reid remarked on the portrayal of Trump supporters as victims despite their candidate winning the election. She noted that some were being compared to civil rights heroes like Rosa Parks by certain public figures. In her view, this comparison was misleading, and she argued that the rest of the American public, particularly the 73 million who voted against Trump, were being unfairly painted as the villains of the time. She rejected the idea of sharing a holiday meal with individuals who she felt held deeply divisive views.
Reid also expressed frustration at the notion that Trump supporters should be praised or recognized for their vote. She criticized their admiration for the president, suggesting it was misplaced, and said that while some might choose to engage with them over Thanksgiving, others preferred peace and distance. She emphasized that they were not obligated to give recognition to those who voted for Trump, and urged them to stop seeking validation from those who disagreed with them. She concluded that the decision of how to spend the holiday should be a personal one, emphasizing that Thanksgiving should be about personal choice and not about appeasing others.
