JOY REID: It is interesting because we were talking about this during the break. I mean, this is the Javier Milei election, right?

You know- black men, brown men who are like white-adjacent, in terms of trying to also be in that dominant position in society, and then you have women who are willing to go along with that. There are a certain number of women who are also willing- the tradwife sort of thing.
