Yes I am absolutely saying that. At least during Bush’s first term. Watch Vice.

Thats exactly what is going to happen if the Biden admin embraces establishment neoliberalism (which they almost certainly will).
Obama/Biden created the conditions for Trump to win in the first place, and next time around it will be someone like Tucker Carlson who is far more intelligent and far more dangerous.

Agree with everything you said except for Biden “almost certainly” embracing neoliberalism. That’s a certainty. The progressives have no leverage, sadly. I don’t know much about Carlson tbh, what scares you about him?

I am not particularly scared of Tucker, but I think he is dangerous because he is far more intelligent/charismatic than Trump, and he would be running as a reactionary right-wing populist in a time when right-wing people might be hungry for retaliatory actions.
If Biden and his neoliberal puppet masters run things the way we both expect them to, and things dont improve for the 99%, a guy like Tucker might be able to convince this country that terrible things need to be done to punish the democrats - the party who hated Trump so much that they illegally spied on his campaign pre-election, the party who tried to derail him with the failed Mueller investigation, the party who tried to impeach him over laughably weak russiagate allegations, the party who tried to destroy the entire nations economy and pin it on Trump under the guise of a fake pandemic.
Like Trump, Carlson is one of the few mainstream figures who actually understands how to speak the language of populism, and like Trump I dont think Tuck actually believes a single word he is saying... but Tucker is much more convincing and much more polished... i mean imagine Joe Biden trying to debate Tucker

Tucker more charismatic than Trump? He's come a long way from being the bow tie wearing dweeb on Hardball but he's never had Trump's charisma, stage presence or showmanship. The kinds of things that seep into the subconscious and convince them on an emotional level that someone's a good leader.

I agree with FKAri, Tucker is nowhere near as charismatic as Trump (Trump is legit funny and knows how to read a room) but I also agree with you, Tucker's far more dangerous than Trump because he's way smarter and I don't believe he would suffer self inflicted wounds that pretty made Trump unfavorable to a majority of Americans. Tucker is also an unabashed racist, you don't hang around people like his recently fired headwriter Blake Neff and not know his politics and biases...

When Tucker starts to piss people off for speaking truths.....label him a racist.

If I hang out with gangbangers, chances are I'm a gangbanger, if I party with millionaires, chances are I'm a millionaire, if I hang out with homeless folk, I might be homeless...If I hang out with drug addicts, same thing...same goes for white supremacists, no?
There's a Spanish saying that goes, dime con quien te juntas y te dire quien eres, which means tell me you who you hang out with and I'll tell you who you are. In English it's the same as that old saying "you are the company you keep"...now I really don't care if he's a racist, we are all racist to some extent, I try not to let it affect my opinion of a person on personal terms but its human nature to treat a group of people by their stereotypes. What I don't agree with is the dipshits who think they are better than other people simply by the color of their skin..

So Tucker and him were chums, huh?
I don't know what my friends do in their private life or at home? Does that make me complicit? If Tucker isn't the one harboring negative and stereotypical/racist viewpoints, it doesn't make him complicit just because the guy works for him.
And do we really need to post an article from the New York Times? They are the most biased news outlet in the world who just had one of their editors resign because of their explicit bias.

I love this line of logic... so you would agree that Bill Gates and Bill Clinton are sex trafficking pedophiles? (thats who they hung out with after all)

How dare you disrespect the rest of the mainstream news outlets like that... WAPO and MSNBC/CNN work tirelessly every day to prove that they are just as biased and useless as NYT

Forget the NY Times, Fox News immediately fired him once the facts came out about his racist posts...Fox News bro.

I feel I pick on CNN too much. I have to spread the hate around equally.
