Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Carlson supported Trump in 2024. After the war began, he apologized for supporting the then-presidential candidate and “misleading people," saying it wasn't intentional.

But of course...

“Not gonna support the Democratic Party,” Carlson was quick to add, speaking late last week on the show “Can't Be Censored.” “I don't know what I'm going to do.”

(When it comes to the "Tuckers" of the world, no matter how much they might hate the GOP, they still hate the Democrats just as much, if not more.)

Fuck him, anyway. His damage has been done.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago

just in time for Krasnov to declare a new party after the "election"

[–] mayabuttreeks@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Color me skeptical in the EXTREME; I still remember after Trump's 2016 election when that rat Glenn Beck cried crocodile tears and lamented his own role in the rise of right-wing nutjobbery, but you know he got back on that horse REAL quick when it turned out there was still money in it.

[–] KC_Royalz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I forgot about Glenn Beck. Is that whack job Michael savage still around?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

how about Limbaugh? :3

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago

He's an actual Christian nationalist white supremacist, so it doesn't really matter what he says or does. He's even worse than MAGA and really the natural evolution further right down the radical extremist terrorism pipeline.

[–] MushuChupacabra@piefed.world 53 points 1 day ago

Too passive.

You helped build this empire of shit; nothing short of maximal effort and resources at bringing this regime down will do.

[–] silver_wings_of_morning@feddit.dk 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's because he wants to start a Giga Republican Party

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

Tucker was fine right up until there were enough Republicans orphaned from the party to grift to. Don't forget he said he fucking hated Trump long before he showed any sign that he didn't wanna gargle his nuts. If you think Tucker shows an honest face, ever, you're delusional. He has clear aims, but his method of achieving them always includes deception.

[–] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Too little, too late. He will always be a piece of shit.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

He's genuinely dangerous. He has the strategic evilness of Steve Bannon, the ruthlessness of Stephen Miller, with the charisma of Trump. He's very smart, and knows how to build an audience. I'm the most worried about him running for office.

[–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Agreed. But I agree with him just this one time in terms of not knowing what to do. GOP is awful, but democrats don't have what it takes to get Israel off the tit and solidify the change and stability we need. We need the purple party made up of people who want to address bipartisan issues first. (pointless wars, term limits, proportionate taxes, data center limits, etc)

[–] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Completely agree. It would be a dream to have us agree and work together on almost all the issues and make politics boring again.

[–] GreenBeard@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago

He's gearing up for his own presidential bid

[–] aaa999@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

person, career bad, runs out of relevance, says surprising thing to get headline

Ann Coulter Richard Spencer and this guy

[–] n4ch1sm0@piefed.social 13 points 1 day ago

Former MAGA pundits like this asshole are quick to bring out criticism and taking credit for it, while the left has been saying "I fucking told you so" since before the election.

I wouldn't be surprised if he winds up supporting JD Vance for 2028 after all this.

Russian mouthpiece wants attention. Stop giving it to him.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Only Nazis support Republicans.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think you mean "Nazis only support Republicans". The way you said it makes it seem like Republicans has no other supporters than Nazis which isn't true.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Supporting Nazi policy makes you a Nazi.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah I guess that's true, but I'm just saying in some idiot MAGA's mind they're just "sticking it to the libs" or "protecting children from free thought that leads to trans evilness" whatever bullshit.

Then in some classical conservative evil billionaire, they're trying to squeeze as much money and resources as possible from their customers and the earth, but they're not explicitly like "I hate all Jews". It's a big tent is what I'm saying, and literal Nazis are part of it.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

i esteem them about the same as i esteem Nazis who joined the Nazi party to "stick it to the Commies" or "protect children from viral spongiform gay" or whatever hateful bullshit rhetoric they made up to justify it, they still Nazis

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

then we have different definitions of "Nazi"

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I mean, they signed up. You didn't have to be a nazi to be German

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Him starting his own party i don't think is the third party anyone wants but it might be the one we get.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

i mean i wish ~~ross perot~~ tucker carlson all the luck in his political aspirations.

i swear we had one more in between but i forget

[–] AccoSpoot1@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Fucken clown

[–] MasterBlaster@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not conservative enough for him huh? Or it's not the correct version of the conservatism.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

i asked, and he thinks they're puckering the wrong sphincter

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago

Rats are starting to leave the ship.

MTG did her move at the perfect moment. She resigned from Congress when she could have stayed and fought. I expect to see her doing a lot of TV appearances as the midterms heat up.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is this the Overton window being moved a bit when a "reasonable" right party pops up and says racist shit but with less angry words?

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

We already have that party. He wants one that's even farther right than the Republicans.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I really think the only way out of this mess is to start fresh. Not vote Democrat, vote for something brand new that's better than both of the old choices. Hopefully get rid of the two party system entirely.

[–] MasterBlaster@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

So, revolution then?

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago
[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah ok Cucker. I'll believe it when I see it.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The "Just asking questions" guy says it wasn't intentional? Must be true then.

[–] radix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Sure, he says that, but until he actually endorses a bunch of good candidates, this should be taken with a few boulders of salt.

More likely is that he still supports the same evil morons he always has, but now he prefaces it with a "you all know I'm no blind Republican supporter, BUT"...

He's trying to backdoor a false sense of balance to fake his way into credibility.

[–] ActualGrapesTasteGreen@piefed.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tucker and Snowden are both untrustable at this point for the same reason: Russia is too involved in their lives to believe that their words are entirely their own. Every opinion from either of them will get an asterisk in my brain for as long as I live.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

If Tucker backed up his claims with proof, then you wouldn't need to trust his motives.

[–] HappyCatLuvs_U@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I worry, after seeing someone else mention it somewhere, the whole apology / change in tune is actually all build-up for a presidential run.

[–] MasterBlaster@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I see it as more of seeing the writing on the wall that this regime is f***** over and f***** up, and trying to distance himself so he can remain relevant in some way. It's all about the grift.
