Trump's Historic Iowa Win Causes MSNBC Host to Completely Implode

If there is one thing that’s always entertaining, it’s the liberal host seething and fighting back tears while putting on a calm and composed face for the audience. Everyone at MSNBC was ripping shots and popping pills in between commercial breaks. Donald Trump won the Iowa Caucuses by the widest margin in history, 30 points, and clinching over 50 percent of the vote. The GOP base is riding with Trump, and this momentum is sure to carry into New Hampshire, which, despite propaganda by Nikki Haley’s camp, is also Trump country. 

Trump’s Iowa win caused the panel on MSNBC to implode, especially Rachel Maddow, who took an academic approach to how this win symbolizes the United States’ push toward authoritarianism. She would know that the extreme right is ascending because she’s studied it


Please remind me, Rachel, whose side is working to remove candidates of the opposing party from ballots? Which side weaponized the Department of Justice to prosecute the political rivals of the Democratic Party? And the Republicans are going fascist because they voted for Trump in a primary. Courts did push back against Trump during his presidency. There were also legions of civil servants who leaked classified information to the press to hamstring his presidency. These aren’t the makings of an authoritarian government. 

Alas, that’s the narrative embraced by the Left: if we lose, it’s because of racism or fascism. If we lose, democracy is at risk of being destroyed. It can never be, ‘We lost because we outright suck.’
