Is Rachel Maddow OK? Has anyone done a wellness check on her lately? Because judging by her broadcast on MSNBC, she is not taking the recent surge of Republican momentum so well.

This is racist because reasons: “Lord of the Rings is a sort of favorite cosmos for naming things and cultural references for a lot of far-right and alt-right figures.”
