WTF? MSNBC didn't cover every word of Trump's rally tonight in my blue Nashville?

[redstateblues]

It’s about damn time. If they had practiced that during the election Trump might not be President.

1. Very true.

I hope they don't do any more of his rallies.

2. THANK GOD!!!

And I am an atheist!

3. Whooooo! Repeating Trump helps Trump. Ignore him!!

None of us should be watching him or repeating him.

4. Anyone who watches this Trump speech would see how unhinged he is

I actually think quoting Trump directly is the best way to demonstrate how awful (and stupid, and unqualified) he is.

6. As long as you use the Lakoff approach: Truth first.

As someone who has PR experience I can tell you that 99% of the time the best strategy is to ignore him.

Remember, his goal is to get people to repeat him. You repeat him, you help him. Period. We know that’s how propaganda works.

In the 1% of cases that you must repeat him, make sure to use the Lakoff strategy. Lead with the truth. Note his crazy response. Return to the truth.

7. Agreed

On all points.

5. Tell that to the local news

They are all fawning over him and interviewing people with MAGA hats.

8. Actually this is a big deal and an important decision to make

Switching back and forth between CNN and MSNBC today, the panelists were hanging Roseanne around trump’s neck and repeatedly calling him out as a LIAR. They’ve had enough.

9. Not sure you should get too excited about it.

I'm pretty sure it had a lot more to do with their scheduled Town Hall on Everyday Racism special they had at Rachel's time slot tonight to coincide with the Starbucks bias training. They'd organized it with a lot of guests and even folks in the audience who had gone to considerable trouble to be there. Just a coincidence about Roseanne being cancelled today.

It was thought-provoking. One thing that Sherrilyn Ifill said (President of the NAACP and its legal defence and educational fund) was that so many people in America need to be educated on race relations, implicit bias, etc. because they haven't been taught about those things and how that happens. The heartland especially hasn't had the opportunity to learn how that can happen and were entitled to be educated. The stories, including the one from the grad student at Yale who was asleep in the common area and a woman called the cops, were heart-breaking. I kept thinking of the terrible weight being carried by every black person in the face of the many forms of everyday racism they face, every time they are in public. Joy Ann Reid and Chris Hayes hosted the discussion. Excellent questions.

10. Well said. Racism is so fear-based (fighting to stay off the bottom)...

That cross-cultural exposure would go a long way toward developing a more mutual respect.

You’re absolutely correct about Americans needing education on the subject. When we read of the umpteenth “college frat party in blackface,” something is radically lacking, because that seemingly isolated, small-scale incident is really a symptom of an all-too-pervasive ignorance, and lack of opportunity for the isolated to spend some time among different ethnicities and beliefs— making connections that run counter to old patterns of hatred, anger, ignorance.

And this is crucially important as college gets more expensive, and thus unattainable to many who may need it most.

11. MSNBC showed plenty of clips of the Nashville

event. From the beginning, only Maddow decided not to give any of her show's airtime to Trump tweets or video. Although her opening monologue can be overdone, it's refreshing that viewers can tune in and not be bombarded with a rehash of the day's twitter outbursts.
