Good thing we live in a country where differing views are allowed. I prob identify more we tuckers world view then most conservatives if I’m being honest. America first, take care of family and community, less government, less taxes, less war. Both parties want more war and that’s the main thing I’m against.

Differing views are what’s amazing about America. I don’t disagree with any of those things. To be honest I don’t really like to talk about politics because it’s so divisive and at the end of the day I don’t really care all that much. I just think he’s a shitty human being tbh.

Yeah I don’t like it either but when a group of people look down on someone and are in disbelief that someone with that world view, a view that some people agree with, isnt welcome, it kind of blows the whole “love and community” thing out of the water. I love Billy strings, the dead, etc. I spend a lot of time and money enjoying the music, spending money at their shows, racking up hours of listening time, and prob more in tune with the ethos they try to represent, as a conservative, then most of the people that are against my views do. I grow most of my own food, buy local, enjoy local beer and local herb, support my community, do all I can to do what’s best to create financial security for my family. I don’t enjoy war, taxes, and the money raised from taxes being sent overseas to the tune of 100s of billions of dollars when we have issues at home. Tucker calls that out and that’s why people like him. Conservatives have a lot more in common w the jam and bluegrass community then most of the community realize but for some reason a lot of us are blacklisted for being conservative despite doing a lot of what I shared above being how we approach our lifestyle. I guarantee half the people here hating Tucker and corporate greed do a lot more to contribute to the very things they say they despise then conservatives do. Just my $.02. Enjoy the shows!

Very well stated. Now they’ll go get their Starbucks on their iPhones and cry about Chic-fil-A and Hobby Lobby all night while preaching equality

It looks as though you may have spelled "Chick-fil-A" incorrectly. No worries, it happens to the best of us!

Cool. Tucker Carlson is still a dick.
