So, former MSNBC "Hardball" host Chris Matthews slithered onto the set of "Morning Joe" on Wednesday to spew anti-Trump venom with the resident, type-4 TDS co-hosts, Joe Scarborough and his equally Trump-loathing wife, Mika Brzezinski. As expected, the obsessed trio didn't fail to deliver.

At issue was the upcoming Iowa caucuses — and the 2024 presidential election in general. Like most Democrats in the know, these clowns are terrified by the possibility that Trump is going to be the next president of the United States — again.

Mika kicked it off: 

Iowa is days away, New Hampshire is coming up, and Donald Trump, given this conversation, even, is the clear front-runner.

Oh, the humanity! Then Matthews began to set the table:

You know, I think President Biden gave a good speech on Friday. I think he began the conversation about the Constitution and democracy. But I think he has to turn the corner and go to the next step. The reason we love our democracy, the reason we all love it, is if we don’t like the government and they’re doing something, we can do something about it.

Exactly, Chris — and come November, that's exactly what a growing majority of Americans plan to do — by kicking Joe Biden the hell out of the White House. That is, if the Democrat Party doesn't do it, first.

Matthews continued, upping the ante.

You have to vote to protect your rights in the Constitution. The Bill of Rights was put there by Jefferson and Madison because people said the Constitution and democracy is [sic] not enough. We have to write in here, our Bill of Rights. 

Voters have to get out there and say, dammit, if I’m a young person, a black person, if I’m out on the streets and I don’t trust the cops, I have to vote that way. If I’m a woman and I want to protect myself and my decisions, I have to vote that way.

So, what if you're a conservative, Chris, who sees his or her country slipping away — as millions of illegal aliens pour across the southern border? As untold amounts of deadly fentanyl cross the border, undetected? And as the president of the United States and his administration knowingly continue to let it happen?

Matthews then went "there." (Emphasis, mine.)

I think voters have to take their hand in this election and don’t wait for the government to do it. You know this election is going to be close, it’s going to be very close in places like Pennsylvania. and you’ll have rural people out there voting their craziness about the cult. So you better be there to match them. and you’ve got to be there to vote against that. I’m telling you, this is really important that you vote for your rights.

As my colleague Nick Arama reported in December, Matthews attacked America's Heartland over what he termed "rural rage."

But I tell you, it’s very tough, because people that didn’t go to college have a pretty good rage on their hands. That’s what you really want in an election, is a rage. It can be black rage, or white rage, or rural rage. In this case, it’s rural rage. They are so angry at the liberal establishment, the coastal elite. 

But in a way, it’s like fighting terrorism. I mean, you know, we think we just put the Army in, or Israel just puts the IDF and they’re going to solve the problem. It never solves the problem. Because you enrage people. And we did it with Afghanistan, and we did it with Iraq. We enrage the enemy to the point where they’re more fiery than ever, and they hate us more than ever. Armies don’t make peace. And we think they do.

Smug, much, Chris? And comparing rural Americans to terrorists? Makes Hillary's "basket of deplorables" pale in comparison, don't you think?

The Bottom Line

The only thing that surprises me about Matthews' Wednesday admission is that he had the cojones to say it out loud on national television. Scratch that— they compare Trump to Hitler almost daily, so why not? 

The ugly truth is that Democrat elitists not only believe they're better than the rest of us, but they also dismiss rank-and-file Republican voters as less than equal to your average Democrat. We beg to differ.
