Bizarrely claims terms family, church, police national anthem are part of a bygone era"
Imagine being triggered by the word family.
Youve just imagined how MSNBC host Joy Reid felt after President Trumps State of the Union speech last night.
Church
family
police
military
the national anthem
Trump trying to call on all the tropes of 1950s-era nationalism. The goal of this speech appears to be to force the normalization of Trump on the terms of the bygone era his supporters are nostalgic for, tweeted Reid.
Yes, you read that right. Reid is literally upset that Trump used the words church, family, police, military and the national anthem during his address to lawmakers.
It was perhaps the most bizarre reaction of the night, and there was no shortage of competition.
Twitter users took Reid to task for her apparent unease with every day words and American as apple pie concepts.
No, Joy, the Left is so out of touch you dont even recognize normal when you see it, responded one.
Do you seriously consider Church
family
police
military
the national anthem
to be terms of a bygone era? asked author and columnist Joseph Steinberg.
Learn to read. Then get back to me, Reid snapped back.
Todd Wilson reminded the MSNBC host that post 1950s America was born out of defeating Nazism and went on to form the bedrock of the civil rights movement.
Lets pause to reflect on her assertion that church and family are tropes of 1950s-era nationalism. Because its historically illiterate, writes Becket Adams.
Is she under the impression that the desire for strong families and robust church communities is some post-World War II phenomenon? Does she not realize that these things arent exactly unique to Leave It To Beaver era? Millions of Americans enjoyed and advocated for these things long before the 1950s, and theyve been enjoying them and fighting for them long since.
Reid being upset at the mere mention of family, police, the military, the church and the national anthem is very telling because it emphasizes the fact that these are all things that those on the far-left, whether they admit or not, truly do hate.

Joy wasn't "tri99ered," she was ni99ered. Fambly? Wut dat? Church? Dat a chikkin joint. Police? Dey be innaruppin our crimin...gnomesayin?
These people are crazy. Seriously. They're nuts. Triggered by the word "family?" They're mentally unstable, and they can't see it. NORMAL people are just fine with all these words: family, church, etc. It's only the crazies who have a problem.
