ever since Tucker Carlson has been independent he's somehow attracted the attention of liberals and even a few leftists. a lot of them will act like they're doing so begrudgingly, like they hate to say something good about him but hey when he's right he's right.
...except no, he isn't, and no, you don't have to praise him at all, because he is grifting. you know that thing he did his whole fucking career? yeah he's still doing it. only this time you are falling for it like a goddamn idiot and i need you all to wake the fuck up, please.
Tucker Carlson does not have principles. He has demonstrated this time and time again and has been a puppet for the far-right as soon as they started becoming his primary audience. Carlson realizes the MAGA cult is fracturing. he's laying low right now because it's the safest route to become a vocal polemicist in the public eye again. if he disavows Trump, he can pretend he was always "one of the good ones." literally nothing he is criticizing Trump for is anything he gave a fuck about with any other Republican president. Trump has done some unique shit but a lot of his horrible positions are from the Republican playbook spoon fed to him.
"Wow, Tucker Carlson's new merch is rather biting. He's really sticking it to AIPAC," you say stupidly, not realizing Carlson's direct support of right-wing agendas has given us AIPAC and continues to allow politicians to be bought and sold. lol
please, he doesn't give a fuck that AIPAC is funding our congress. he's just mad it isn't the group he supports. he's upset that he isn't benefiting. and you are legitimizing his attempt at manipulating people when you praise him for creating merch that exploits how real people with a soul feel (unlike Carlson).
he hasn't changed, he hasn't become more moderate, he isn't more levelheaded now that he's a free agent.. stop. stop it, fucking stop. i am seeing this way too frequently and it is disgusting and scaring me. i hope some of these positive comments are from bots tbh.
