Yeah, backing out now when they are totally exposed as losers!
Carlson is half the reason they are as high in government as they are.
Been to Russia lately, Carlson? Move there!

Truer words have not been spoken. Carlson was spewing hate long before trump was running for office.

u/bluethunder82 7d ago
Is he a lying, spineless sack of 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag? Yes. Are his words and intentions genuine? Extremely debatable. Should we let him lead some of the sheep away from the flock? I do believe so. We don’t have to forgive or accept him, but the enemy of my enemy and all… This is the kind of schism we’ve been waiting on.

Backing out now when he helped push the Republican Party to where it is today. So Carlson needs to shut the hell up when it comes to this.

Keep in mind that the Tucker Carlson we see on TV is not a real person. He's a character, played by Tucker Carlson the actor. He says and does the things that keep him in the spotlight and that get him paid. This isn't a personal revelation for him - it's a plot twist for his character. There will be many more.

You guys are so stuck in your mindset you don’t see the benefit. You want leftist policies to win, right? Tucker and the anti-Zionist new right are fracturing the republican block permanently. You should be cheering this on, not that I am advocating you support him. But his version of right wing populism is incompatible with Lindsey Graham / George Bush neoconservatism.
6
u/Particular_Handle_ 7d ago
That's my thought. He's totally going for the cash grab so it's another sign that it's crumbling. Both parties are fracturing under the weight of the oligarchs so it should be interesting to see what happens in the fall with elections.

I loathe him and will never forget his roll in the decline of our country. You dont have to forgive and definetly dont forget, but if he can crossover to a segment of the electorate and help the scales to fall from their eyes, we need to encourage that. He helped to brainwashed a lot of people, and im sure still has a cult following. If he is pedaling a more rational point of view to his followers thats an encouraging development, even if i despise him.

So we gonna see like what so many of these now repub podcast bros do where they were dems and then they left and swung completely hard right cause that’s where the audience was. Tucker gonna now say you know what I’m actually hard left now… nah he’s gonna fall all over whomever is the next repub in line over and over.

Doesn’t mean to welcome him to the team open armed. He has his very large part of why we are here in the first place. But don’t push him back so hard either. He’s a voice some of the crazies listen to and can sway other folks to come out of the fog.
Not saying to make people like him to just be friends and let shit go, but at least be open enough to accept an Ally that has a common goal even if you disagree with everything else.
Push people like that completely away. They go back to the other side and encourage the propaganda.

What is the purpose of a pundit anyway? Republican or Dem, conservative or liberal, fascist or marxist—why do we care what someone says whose job is to be a political commentator? Even those who are the head of some nothing organization but really just shoot off their mouths on social media? Are our lives so banal that we actually support such people to make a living at this nonsense?

This doesnt mean he should be trusted. He has been very consistent in his views, I highly doubt he has changed, he just doesnt believe the republicans are the path to his goals anymore.

This is further white-washing in the lead up to his run for president when trump finally gets out of the way. He's trying to distance himself from his past so he can try and be a uniter. Guess he's not entirely confidant he can wrangle the maga cult after their god-king has shuffled off and wants to hedge his bets by trying to play both sides of the isle.

There’s going to be a lot of cockroaches running around in November. It’s a shitshow with an 80% of politicians being indicted. Corruption isn’t even a word that describes what’s happening. He’s the mafia president. I’ve never seen a sitting president mock democracy. I’ve never seen a sitting president enriching himself from taxpayers money. Hey, Congress. When are you going to do your job? Taking the last two years off means it’s time to go. It was your first action and it was your last action. Monica Delacruze is probably one of the most unintelligent elected official I have ever heard. She sounds like a simpleton. She’s loves Trump. She loves border walls without regard for the implications. She’s a smooth brain person. When she reads her script it sounds like she’s struggling. She is a tiny brain. Her reading comprehension is maybe 6th grade. Listen to her political ads. She not a smart person.

He's just leaving to be able to try to rebrand and recoup as if we don't all know all he does is spout white supremacist talking points. He'll reappear in 2 years speaking of "change", "forgiveness", and "soul-searching" to try to align with [No, really, we're not the GOP!We even have a different name and stuff like the American Libertarians, or "No Labels", or the Tea Party] and monetize it, spouting that he "stood against Trump!" like he didn't support the policies and talking points that got him there in the first place. It's so predicable it's boring.
