Daily Beast Editor: 'Non-Cosmopolitan Rural Voters For Trump are the Real Problem'

[LI] Message from MSNBC to you hicks out in the sticks: the people who gave us Le Pen, Brexit and now, Trump represent the "real problem." Unlike we city dwellers, you don’t "mix" and "get along together" with people from "cosmopolitan cultures."

That was the word from MSNBC contributor and Daily Beast Editor Christopher Dickey, speaking from Paris with Joy Reid today. Discussing the hold that President Trump has placed on immigration from seven named countries, Dickey began by claiming that people in Europe, especially in European governments, "think Trump has lost his mind."

Then there was the obligatory Hitler allusion: in Europe "they remember what fascism was like. In the United States, we’ve been spared that--at least up until now."

Then came the pièce de résistance--Dickey’s swipe at the great rural unwashed: "the voters who cast their ballots for Marine Le Pen, for Brexit, for Donald Trump, they’re not the people who are part of those cities, those cosmopolitan cultures where people mix and get along together. That is the real problem. That’s the divide we need to watch."

Reid was quick to agree: "yeah, absolutely."

#2 "real problem."

Remember, you are a problem. Given the Left's historical behavior, you can guess what their final solution is for the problem.

#4 those cosmopolitan cultures where people mix and get along together.

Has this guy ever glanced at the urban murder rate?

Tom Lehrer says: "I know there are people that don't love their fellow man... and I HATE people like that!"

#6 ...where people mix and get along together

Sounds like regular people in any rural area and small to mid-sized town/city in middle America. We mix and get along together because it's our way of life. Most folks just want to feed, cloth and house their families and know that their neighbors want to do the same.

It shouldn't really be that difficult to understand.

We don't have ghettos or slums in which to hide the 'undesirables' from our view, so we really can't relate to what you're saying there Mr. Dickey.
