Their party, the Republicans,\u201d is merely \u201ca party of selfish people who cannot play well with others,\u201d said Reid in her opening monologue. \u201cThey even have their own cable networks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She then compared Christian conservatives to a classic \u201cStar Trek\u201d character named Charlie, whom she described as an \u201cannoying alien <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/incel\">incel<\/a> who destroys everything around him when he doesn\u2019t get his way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reid claimed that white, Christian conservatives wrongly believe the country is being taken away from them. \u201cA certain percentage of Americans feel like the country used to focus on them and fixate on them, and they were the main character. And now that they feel that they\u2019re not the main character, and they don\u2019t always win, and they don\u2019t get to do what they want, and they don\u2019t get to have their way, it\u2019s all an outrage. It\u2019s all a crime. Everything must be overturned. so it goes back to the way they thought it should be,\u201d she said in a stream-of-consciousness.<\/p>\n<p>After Reid laid the blame at Christian conservatives, Tom Nichols of The Atlantic followed up on Reid\u2019s comments, saying, \u201cWe take offense at everything\u201d and embrace a \u201cculture of narcissism.\u201d He said this was to fill \u201cthis yawning gaping hole where spirituality used to be for a lot of people, that this has become a religion of the self.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea that previous generations took pleasure, a civic pride, a pleasure in civic virtue by serving others, by being selfless, by being stoic, by not constantly talking about your sense of grievance and your sense of anger and outrage \u2014 that is completely alien to multiple generations now of Americans, who are all about vocalizing a sense of loss, even though they haven\u2019t lost anything,\u201d Nichols said. \u201cThe irony is that a lot of the people storming these barricades have had nothing taken away from them. They\u2019ve been told they\u2019ve had things taken away from them, and their acceptance, their embracing of that notion, has given their lives some kind of meaning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat [Star Trek] character that you referenced is an eternal adolescent, which is what we have become in this country. We are eternally adolescent. We take offense at everything. We look for reasons to take offense \u2026 We take no pleasure in adulthood any more,\u201d said Nichols, as Joy Reid and Michael Eric Dyson nodded knowingly.<\/p>\n<p>Reid found Nichols\u2019 words so insightful that she tweeted them and a video of the panel hours later. \u201cThis is such a solid point by @RadioFreeTom. We are a bored country full of people seeking some form of meaning, which folks used to get from religion or from the simple joy of doing the right thing and contributing to the community. And the biggest complainers have lost nothing,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is such a solid point by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RadioFreeTom?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RadioFreeTom<\/a>.
