none of the people who demonize tucker carlson have ever watched his show. i'm willing to bet on that. when i finally did watch him, i was stunned. he was not at all what i had been led to expect and everything he had to say was eminently reasonable. he IS correct- you DO know the truth when you hear it, no matter how simply it's packaged and you DO know a lie when you're being fed a whopper no matter how much sauce is on the bun.
The Regime wants you bad people, (you MFers know who you are!), that we forced Tucker out. You must bear witness to the sacrificial firing and symbolic media crucifixion of Tucker, which was his own damn fault for defying and ridiculing his august diaperness, President Mannequin and his highly credentialed corps of political prostitutes / sexually conflicted sociopathic misfits. Of course Tucker is the personification of normal Americans, we took psychology at Harvard. Duh. You people hate us for being so ...awesome, yeah awesome, and so symbolically we are crucifying you. So take that. We are contracting with our crack team of schlock propaganda shills from outlets that nobody knows, watches, or believes to get the threats out and show everyone how petty we are... I mean triumphant in our righteousness. You better not get any ideas bub, because we can get to you too. And don’t try any of that meme stuff. You see where that’ll get you- the big house. We have judges on speed dial and on the payroll..You punks are gonna learn. We destroy all who oppose the new world odor, or at least we annoy the hell out of them. We also destroy everything else we touch , but we’re not going there right now, so drop it. We are done with this whole Constitution and free election thing, whatever that is. From now on, it’s our way or maybe you spend a weekend locked in the ABC green room with Michelle Obama and the hosts of The View , who will supervise a 48 hour marathon DEI struggle session and make you repeat “our forever First Lady” over and over again until your gums bleed. How would you like that? ....That’s what we thought.
Is Tina Nguyen too stupid to realize that her entire article serves to reinforce the part of Tucker’s video that she directly quoted — the bit about there not being many places left where you can still find Americans saying true things? Were her editors at Puck too dumb to realize that? Or do they think their *readers* are the ones too stupid to notice?
Whatever the case, being a left-wing griftwriter has to be the world’s easiest job. In fact, would anyone here be surprised if you found out Nguyen had ChatGPT generate this bucket of slop?

"None of it means anything at all."
If we looked at it from a certain angle, meaning could be extracted from it. It's just that not all meaningful pictures are pretty.
When a people draw a bead on a big, blurry (to them) target, and shout DEVIL, DEVIL, DEVIL, there are several possible reasons for that, but the Razor suggests a carrot of advantage coupled with a stick of exile.
That's a potent combo. But I think the meaning of it can be found in the refusal to look at the object in question. Carlson is like Medusa or Sodom; a dreaded direction that's more frightening than a subject with known qualities. The same could be said of vax injuries, or Ukraine, or their coming job obsolescence, or a hundred directions that they are forbidden to look because they'll turn to stone or salt. As these forbidden sights pile up, the coerced blindness eventually drives them mad. In this light all talk of lunatics in bunkers becomes IMAX projection and weird autobiography.

"Free speech, that right-wing trope."
Tina, darling, you're in the First Amendment business. Maybe start acting like it.
You ever notice how much the truth frightens these trolls?

Using upspeak and vocal fry: "The subtext of the video was clear to the 13 million-plus people who watched it and read about it..."'
13 million? How about 76.5 million! Bwahaha!

The two paragraphs about the grainy video are supposed to align Carlson with Trump and the January 6 event, I bet.
For the record, I will never be tired of hearing you talk about Tucker Carlson :)
“using the rhetoric of free speech, that modern right wing trope”
There’s a lot of sadness in my life right now, but this just brought me a smile
Freedom of speech is a 'right-wing trope'?
When and where did the wheels fall off?
It's getting harder and harder to not think we either need a civil war or find an amicable split.
There's nothing to bridge anymore. I want to do with people who think this way.
They will always dredge up a villain. That’s all the media knows how to do.

You are darkly alluding to the vapid duty-dance of shallow lefty minds. If this were a video, it would be GRAINY. GRAINY, I tell you!
But if they point and yell loud enough, they might get promoted!! As it is they're just another voice in the echo chamber.
The funny thing, as I read that story from Ms. Nguyen, I can hear Tucker's tone, and he's joking.
I think we need to start putting antipsychotics in the Smart Water. Would that help?
