Rightwing bloviator Megyn Kelly recently said she would not vote Democratic even if Trump used a nuclear weapon against Iran. Kelly’s attitude towards the Democratic Party is not surprising, but her reasoning, such as it is, is very ugly (boldface mine):
“All I think about when I think about the Democrats is those very unattractive people in Minneapolis,” Kelly said on a podcast this week. “That’s when I think Democrat, that’s what I think.”
“That’s smug, arrogant. I’m better than you. I look down my nose on you. Even though you’ve done three tours of duty. Like, F you. I like, I’m — that to me, I could never vote for, never,” she continued.
“I mean, honestly, Trump could drop a nuke, and I’d still vote Republican over those people.”
I have no idea what Kelly means by “three tours”, as she has never served. That aside, the sheer bitterness and insecurity is astonishing. Megyn Kelly, compared to most, has had an exceptionally good life: fame (if you like that sort of thing), wealth, and health. Yet she is angry and insecure about the Minnesotans who protested against ICE and CBP.
What an awful, joyless way to live life.
