I don't like Tucker Carlson but this was insane.

Did I just see Tucker Carlson doing his job?

In 2028 you're going to see Tucker Carlson running as a GOP candidate on an anti-isreal stance.

[โ€“] Chozo@fedia.io 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

While that's crazy to think, it's even crazier to consider that he'd somehow still manage to be the safer R candidate. I swear, it'll end up between Dr Oz and Tucker Carlson on the republican side.

[โ€“] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 4 points 22 hours ago

Tucker vs Gavin Newsom is literally the nightmare scenario for 2028. Tucker will be (for the most part and not necessarily for the right reasons) right about Isreal, and profoundly wrong and dangerous on every other issue.

Oh, no doubt

His job of protecting Russia, Iran's ally. His only job is being a propagandist for Russia.

[โ€“] homes@piefed.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Itโ€™s only job is protecting himself. And heโ€™s doing a great job of that.

Heโ€™s like that one turd in the toilet that just wonโ€™t flush. Stuck to the side, even when you scrub it with a brush, it just wonโ€™t come unstuck.

[โ€“] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He has always "done his job", but we need to define what that is. His job is to self-enrich by enraging and exploiting angry white men. Right now, some of the largest hot spots are support of Israel, unnecessary war with Iran, the economy/affordability, and the dismantling of the military (many vets). Most if not all of these resonate with angry white men...his core audience.

[โ€“] ProfThadBach@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am an angry white vet and Tucker Carlson can suck a rotting donkey cock for all the evil he has done. Some of us are angry about the right things.

[โ€“] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Right on brother.

[โ€“] Malyca@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

He's not after money. He's old money rich. He does this for power.

[โ€“] stoly@lemmy.world -4 points 1 day ago (4 children)

He, like many, has only finally noticed the harm he has caused now that he escaped from the bubble and he wants to clean his image. Like Kavanaugh, it's not going to happen.

[โ€“] JPAKx4@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago

Thats not true, he just wants to spew different harms then mainstream media. He is anti Israel, not bc of war crimes or genocide, but bc its the "Jewish state." He's no longer MAGA, still evil

[โ€“] Objection@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

His role is to co-opt anti-war criticism and redirect it back to supporting the right.

After Vietnam, there was a big cultural backlash to foreign interventions, and that backlash was still a thing in 2000, when Bush promised to avoid getting into foreign entanglements.

After Bush started a decades-long conflict that accomplished nothing, there was another backlash, and Trump took advantage of than backlash, especially since the Democrats he ran against were so hawkish, he presented himself as focusing on domestic affairs instead of foreign entanglements.

With the debacle in Iran, you now have various figures on the right like Tucker, MTG, Tulsi Gabbard, etc. who are positioning themselves as opposing it and foreign interventions in general. They are lying, of course, but they're lying because they're smart enough to recognize this pattern and that there are a significant number of Americans who are not nearly as hawkish as the political class and who are desperately underrepresented.

If there was a larger, louder contingent on the left that was making these criticisms (instead of just criticizing how the war was conducted!), then Tucker saying things like this would be pretty unremarkable.

That's litterally the grift .

[โ€“] homes@piefed.world 2 points 1 day ago

I call bullshit. Heโ€™s just one of the early rats fleeing a sinking ship. Itโ€™s nothing more than that. Heโ€™s still the same opportunistic shit he ever was. Someone who is trying to better themselves doesnโ€™t bring people like Nick Fuentes onto his show and give that guy a platform.

This is a classic gold. It's like watching two stooges.

Two nitwits tearing each other apart.

Scathing indictment of liberal """journalism""" that this chud is outdoing them agony-yeehaw

Someone tell this immigrant to go back to Canada.

[โ€“] Killer57@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hey now, we don't want him back.

[โ€“] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Good news! The US redefined deportation to just mean illegally sent to a random country and detained there.

[โ€“] teft@piefed.social 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

What the fuck is going on lately? Tucker Carlson is calling out republicans. Conservatives are protesting AI. Cats are marrying dogs! The world has gone weird.

Are we still sure that LHC didn't break something when they found the higgs boson? Like sure sure?

[โ€“] Steve@startrek.website 9 points 1 day ago

Its becoming clear that we are the mirror universe from Star Trek.

[โ€“] stoly@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Nothing brings people together like war or tears them apart like peace. When it was all "go MAGA go" everyone was behind it. Now that they got there, all the infighting has started because they were never really united in the first place.

I'm not, personally. LHC high-energy collisions timeline:

โ€ข Start of Main Program (at 7 TeV): March 30, 2010
โ€ข Run 2 (Upgraded to 13 TeV): Started in 2015
โ€ข Run 3 (Upgraded to 13.6 TeV): Started in 2022

To me, these dates all track to changes in... things. That's probably crazy, I am probably just nuts. Which is lucky because:

โ€ข High-Luminosity (14 TeV with 10x collision capacity): 2030

I'm sure it will be fine.

Look up the cern weasels. I blame them

[โ€“] CannedYeet@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fuck both of these guys, but in this case I have to give it to Cruz. Not knowing the exact population doesn't mean he doesn't know anything about the country. This is just a debating trick. If he couldn't guess within an order of magnitude that would be a problem.

[โ€“] Objection@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago

Cruz couldn't give even a rough estimate though. He didn't guess within an order of magnitude because he didn't guess at all.

[โ€“] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

My eyeballs have rarely been submitted to such hardship as they had watching this clip.
