Liberal media commentators criticize Trump supporters, ‘Trumpism’: ‘Collision of greed and hatred’

Several liberal media commentators have blasted supporters of President-elect Donald Trump in recent days as the year winds down and as Biden prepares to leave the White House.

“It is inevitable that the hyper-populist, uneducated part of Trump’s base, which is the plurality at least, a majority if you make certain arguments, will always be preconditioned to believe that the word immigrant or visa, always in the his mind means bad brown people,” said Lincoln Project founder Rick Wilson, before moving on to mocking Trump supporters, during an appearance on MSNBC.

Wilson responded to the differing opinions among Republicans regarding the H1-B visa program for skilled workers, which Trump acknowledged he used to his properties.

“They have this belief that the guy with the GED and his fake Oakley sunglasses and his pickaxe and his pickup truck, the universal brother of Twitter, that you see in every avatar on Twitter, that guy thinks to himself, ‘Oh , could have. would have been the senior software designer at Google if it wasn’t for DEI or immigration. It’s absurd,” Wilson said.

Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin, former CNN reporter Don Lemon and MSNBC political analyst Eddie Claude Jr. they also targeted the supporters and the movement of the president-elect.

Rubin suggested that Trump supporters could not read during an event at the 92NY Center for Culture & Arts on December 15, when she spoke with anti-Trump critic George Conway about the aftermath of the 2024 election.

“People ask me all the time, why is the media so mamsy-pamsey? And there are two explanations,” began Rubin. “One is, I’m convinced that if they moved a little bit to the right, all those MAGA readers here – now, you’ll notice the contradiction in terms, ‘MAGA readers’ – would take the Washington Post. , and they would have more readers What’s the logical fallacy here, “reader.” And there’s nothing the Washington Post could do to get those people to subscribe, but I’m sure they are somewhere.

Rubin also wrote a columnpublished on December 23, for the Post who recommended reaching out to the other side to find common ground, especially with Trump’s allies and supporters.

Lemon called Trump supporters “stupid idiots” and mocked his “stupid MAGA brain,” during a episode of the Don Lemon Show.

“You are so stupid and you deserve it. You deserve it because you are so stupid,” he said. “Yeah, I’m going to laugh at your stupidity.”

He said that MAGA supporters they were part of a cult, and asked, “How stupid and stupid are you?”

MSNBC’s Claude made the argument Monday that hate, selfishness and greed were an essential part of Trump’s movement.

“So this is a really important point, right? In the sense that you always had these three components and Ronald Reagan was able to balance them in interesting ways. And so we have here is the plutocrat, right, in Elon. Musk, true, greed, you know, pull, kind of advance their interests, and you have right-wing populism, right-wing populism that sometimes expresses itself in terms of emphasis on American workers, but it takes the form of xenophobia, it takes a form of nativism, takes the form of hatred,” said Claude, stating that the three elements of the modern Republican Party are corporatists, libertarians and nativists.

MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace emphatically agreed with Claude during the conversation on his show on Monday and argued that understanding Trumpism was essential to defeat him.

“So we have the clash of greed and hatred right in front of us and this is at the heart of Trumpism, of MAGAism. It’s always been greed, it’s always been selfish, it’s always been hate and now it’s in full view, “Claude. he said.
