In addition to the general obscenity of Carlson's worship of brutal dictators and his grotesque claim that they somehow epitomize Christian values, don't miss the rest of his hateful dog-whistle here: his barely concealed claim that American policymakers conspire against Christianity, e.g. are all controlled by "THE JEWS!" And "nobody wants to say it" of course = "Jews control the media."
@RationalLeft No Tucker, we hate Russia because they attacked and took over a Sovreign country.
@MidnightRider They don't consider that a bad thing. An empire of "Christian" fascism is their ultimate fantasy.
Look at DeSantis chafing to invade Mexico.
@RationalLeft Well the left is too quiet, someone needs to directly ask Tucker how they went from "better dead than red" to team Russia. Stand up for the separation of church and state, the left is doing a shit job of countering the blizzard of lies.
@MidnightRider He doesn't answer questions, of course. He operates in his own closed bubble where he only engages with those like him.
@MidnightRider Yes, that can be done.
@RationalLeft As for attack cartels in Mexico, those organizations are not protected by a regiment of Gomer Pyle fans, they hire real deal assassins and former military, that idea would be a quagmire blood bath, illegal and increase illegal border crossings for sure.
@MidnightRider And DeSantis doesn't stop there. He's hinted at a right to conduct full scale military operations in Mexico... plus of course his boast at the debate that he'd gun down migrants at the border.
@RationalLeft He's a tool, at least this time around he's not worth stressing about, hopefully Mickey kicks his ass too.
@MidnightRider I agree it's wildly unlikely he's nominated. And I'm skeptical he has any national future, even later. He's just an awful campaigner, and he's already trashed his "big winner" image.
@RationalLeft Pose them in public, call him out on other shows by name.
