Joy Reid: Isolate Yourself from Pro-Trump Family Members, They Could Turn You in at Any Time

‘If you would vote for that, people may not feel so confident that they’re safe with you’

TRANSCRIPT:

REID: "People are rightfully alarmed. They have reason to be alarmed. And if — if you would vote for that, people may not feel so confident that they're safe with you. This is not crazy. This is legitimate feelings of fear, of you, and of feeling that you might not be someone they could trust. If this thing goes way south, autocracies go south real fast and things get ugly and people get asked to do things and turn people in and point people out and turn on them. And if you’re voting affirmatively, gleefully for this, people might — I don't know, may not feel so confident in you anymore. That’s real, and you kind of have to live with it. So if you think that you can vote for what people see as their destruction and then demand that they still are cool with you and kiki with you and have Thanksgiving with you, like, I think you're kind of missing the point of what people are upset about. They're afraid. And autocracy and fascism are things that are legitimate to afraid of. So, you may want to step back."
