Joy Reid's guests say signs of neo-fascism apparent in leading GOP figures, factions

Joy Reid leads The ReidOut with Americans facing a choice between the real world where coronavirus cases are falling and the economy is bouncing back -- and a fantasy world where the election was stolen and everything is a culture war. Journalist Eugene Daniels joins Joy on whether Democrats have a sense of urgency about what many perceive as stark rifts between the parties, and existential threats to our democracy coming from many corners of the GOP. Then, QAnon conspiracies and the reported links between Trump supporters, White nationalism, and neo-fascism in American politics particularly on the right and in the GOP are analyzed by experts. Dean Obeidallah also discusses what he sees as the reluctance of many to calling the Jan. 6 insurrection terrorism, as we bring you the latest on the Capitol insurrection court cases. Additionally, Chris Tomlinson, co-author of "Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth," explains how the Texas GOP shut down a discussion of the Alamo and slavery based on this book. All this and much more in this special 2-hour edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
