  2. MSNBC's Joy Reid delivered a scathing critique of Donald Trump, labeling him a "dangerous, felonious wannabe autocrat" with plans for "straight-up fascism." Reid argued that Trump must not be allowed back in the White House, condemning his vows to pardon violent insurrectionists, establish internment camps for undocumented migrants, and target his enemies via the Justice Department. Reid highlighted Trump's calls for executing opponents, including former Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley, and his admiration for dictators like Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. She criticized Project 2025, warning it would transform the U.S. into a fascist state, using the military against citizens and requiring loyalty oaths to the president for federal employment. Reid warned of a national abortion ban and severe restrictions on reproductive rights, likening it to a dystopian scenario from "The Handmaid's Tale." She concluded that a Trump autocracy combined with a fully Christian Nationalist Republican Party and the current Supreme Court majority would spell the end of American democracy.
