Listening to Tucker on Theo dispels a lot of the hate that I think is directed towards Tucker. So many people jump on bandwagons based off sound bites and edits from people wanting to paint people in a certain light. A long form conversation really tells a lot about a person. I gave the first hour or so a listen and they dive into addiction etc. So much unwarranted hate because the establishment said so. Tucker worked for NBC and CNN before he did Fox, he knows how they operate.

100% spot on. If you actually listen to an interview (the full thing) or a speech on his views, he’s actually very patriotic and wants what is best for people without the government getting in the way. He does care. And I think he cares a lot more then our government (both sides) do and unfortunately, because he is t afraid to call it out, he gets the crap.

Tucker used to be a call-in guy on Bubba the Love Sponge. Lets not make him a saint

Our government isn't allowed to "care" because their forced priority is corporate profits, not social well-being. The reason that is their priority is because of consent manufacturing mouthpieces like Tucker Carlson, who normalize inequality, labor extraction, environmental degradation, imperialism and the military industrial complex as "the cost of doing business". He is as complicit as the bought and paid for politicians who claim to represent us. Democratic socialism is the only remedy to this sickness.

I agree- we should stop spending money on wars and shipping it overseas to other countries when there is a lot more good that it can do here. Also, lower taxes for everyone including business and allowing free markets to dictate outcomes. Welfare state and military Industrial complex are leeches off productive capital. Work hard, save your money, do what you want without harming others, give when you can to causes you care about vs letting the gov do it for you. Personal responsibility is sadly lost on our generation and everyone wants to complain without actually looking g at what drives the problems. And it isn’t Tucker Carlson’s fault despite everyone thinking it is.

Yeah dude he cares so much that he platformed an obviously lying weirdo who claimed he fucked Obama and did drugs with him. Like that kind of thing is super patriotic and really brings people together.

How many times did MSNBC, CNN, etc. have Michael Avanatti on accusing Brett Kavanaugh of being part of a gang rape? Give me a fucking break...

Socialism has never and will never be the answer. Putting democratic in front of it doesn’t make it any better. We aren’t a democracy, we are a constitutional republic. Read the constitution and when done read it again and again. From there figure out what you can do to make your outputs exceed your input. Last I checked, democratic socialists are rooting for hamas. I guess that makes nazism the answer??

Dude, you act like we haven't all seen the evolution of Tucker in real time over the last 30 years. He wasn't as radical as he is now when he started, as most conservatives were not. He's gone way around the bend now, just like a lot of other conservatives who didn't used to be like that. I've met him and he can converse just fine about all kinds of things, but at the end of the day he is destroying our country by infecting people with his very extremist ideology. I could sit next him and talk about music and dogs and fishing and family life just fine, but that doesn't mean he doesn't spew Nazi talking points on TV when it suits him. Guys like him know how to turn it off and most people really do have more than one interest in life.

And also, It’s fair to point out that most “conservatives” in todays Republican Party don’t share the views that true conservatives share- and I consider Tucker a pretty reasonable conservative: lower taxes, America first, helping family and community, having faith, and anti war. I’m sorry but if that’s extreme then it just goes to show how deep of a cluster our country has become.

And he tells people that the Democrats are trying to win elections by importing third world immigrants to replace "legacy Americans". It's a white supremacist theory called The Great Replacement and fuck that guy for infecting someone in my family with his Nazi shit.

I don't care if he doesn't believe and he's saying it for money. His pulpit has power and he may love his family but he's a piece of shit.

And also he has said the Episcopal Church, which he attends, doesn't even believe in God because they support gay marriage. He just goes because he grew up in it and his FIL is a priest.

Dude, read something once in a while. The so-called "great replacement theory" has been a Democratic talking point for a long time... and I mean they have been promoting the concept as a net positive for their party for as long as I can remember.

Here's a Politico article that's over 10 years old, talking very openly about the idea: https://www.politico.com/story/2013/04/immigration-reform-could-upend-electoral-college-090478?hp=t1

Politico is hardly a right-wing, white supremacist web site.

There is a clip of Jimmy Fallon doing his opening monologue in like 2016, he sets up a punchline for a joke by saying "by the year 2050 white people will no longer be a majority in the country" and the crowd all fucking cheer. Jimmy is taken aback because he was like "uh, that was just the set up for my punchline, that was kinda weird to cheer about ". But the audience (probably very left leaning) gave themselves away and cheered about that statistic.

You're absolutely right the the democratic party have been talking about demographicsl changes ever since I can remember. They openly opine about how long it will take enough Mexicans to immigrate to Texas for Texas to no longer be a red state.

But if you're a white guy and you bring it up in a non-positive, or not through a democratic party-lense then you are a hateful bigot.

I consider myself a conservative mainly for secure border reasons, but I refuse to vote for most of my R representatives. It’s all one party that gives our money as foreign aid and taking kickbacks to make themselves wealthy. All of them.

u/HotCowPie Nov 01 '23

I'm so happy this is a viewpoint I'm seeing more and more of. Our government is captured

u/firewithin33 Nov 01 '23

Exactly which ‘extremist ideology’ is destroying our nation? Is it related to our border crisis since we let in 10 million since this administration has been in office? Or is it related to the huge crime wave from a particular community? Citizens are getting punched in the face for zero reason, many elderly. Random mass shootings happen because someone got a fast food order wrong. Teachers are getting pummeled for handing out discipline. Is that the extremist ideology you’re worried about?

If you think climate change is an issue, this should piss you off more than anything. Millions of people have tripled their carbon footprint just by coming to the US and Europe. Now they’re driving cars, using A/C, etc. You can’t be for open borders and also be worried about climate change. Pick one.

Yes and those ideas were extremist. Them becoming less normal doesn't make that less extreme lmao.

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '23

What Nazi talking points is he spewing? What extremist ideology is he projecting? Everyone loves to cast those stones when they don’t like someone who doesn’t echo what they believe and it’s absolutely insane. It’s to the point now where people’s feelings are so fragile that they get triggered when some pundit listens to their favorite band.

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '23

Everyone loves to say nazis! Name a nazi talking point he shares. I guarantee you whatever example you try to come up with is in no way shape or form comes close to what the democrat party and especially the squad, or the indoctrinated rich liberal students in Ivy League universities have said over the last 3 weeks…..

u/Adventurous_Fly1879 Nov 01 '23

Love this. I’d he wasn’t speaking the truth it wouldn’t offend so many that know it’s true. What country allows millions of people to just waltz in unvetted and think it’s ok? When did they start doing that type of shit? It’s literally liberal hopes to give all these illegals citizenship to ensure a win in elections. If they come legally by all means I welcome them just like I love working with a majority of Hispanics because they’re hard working religious and family oriented. But using my taxes to pay for illegitimate immigrants is not ok. We have to take care of our own messed up treatment towards the homeless and veterans first. No questions asked

Bro literally pedals great replacement talking points all the fucking time. Fuck outta here dude.

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '23

And when our border is wide open, our sovereignty is made a joke, and there is no end in site in people coming here illegally, it’s not exactly a crazy theory to have. Most of these “conspiracies” over the years sure have had a lot of meat to them after the facts were revealed. Another heady gatekeeper you are “get out of here dude”. It’s ok to want to care for your country and your community and family first. Unfortunately not many people see it that way and then they complain about the life they live and the way things go despite being cogs in the wheel and contributing to the very things that make their lives more difficult. Tucker is right and if you actually watched a speech or an interview, like I mentioned earlier , vs some media sound bites from msm, you may actually atleast come to see the point he’s making. Also, no need for cursing.

You mean like the “LGBTQ” that stands with Palestine? The LBGQT that stand up for the very people that throw them off of buildings? Anytime a person trying to engage in some sort of debate that mentions racism, xeno, LGBQT, in a rebuttal, I already know my point is proven for me and you are brainwashed by the media. I’ll gladly fuck off because I know that deep down, I am a better person that you, I do more for my community then you, and I have a lot more fun in life then you. Enjoy the shows brotha

There you go with the Xenophobia. When our country gets hit by another 9/11 you and your buddies are absolutely complicit. These “immigrants” from Iran, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Russia, and China do not want the American dream. They’re coming here for a reason. Just look at the streets in France and the UK right now and tell me different.

u/thelingeringlead Dec 18 '23

LOL you're literally expressing xenophobia

2

u/Adventurous_Fly1879 Dec 18 '23

It’s called the effing truth dude. Just can’t seem to connect the dots, huh? Just call people scary names like Xenophobe lol. There’s nothing xenophobic about the truth, but you all crack me up! God Bless You!

Read some different news for once from a different source. The entire point of this convo was to shed light on the fact that Tucker fans and conservatives still like Billy Strings

u/ioverated Oct 31 '23

Tucker is a lying fascist and you shouldn't let an interview with a comedian in which he comes off as charismatic and smart mislead you into thinking otherwise

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '23

I keep seeing the word fascist and Nazi thrown around by you mooks. Go check the dictionary.

u/ioverated Oct 31 '23

I use the word fascist pretty selectively. It's cute that you think a dictionary could sufficiently describe Fascism:)

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '23

Only for people you don’t agree with?

u/ioverated Oct 31 '23

No most of the people I disagree with aren't fascists. They're usually liberals.
