    Tucker Carlson is one of the more competent fascists. His program record demonstrates he’s never cared about free speech. Now that the Overton window has shifted so far right and the bar has been set so low, people will vote for a man like Tucker and feel like they’re doing harm reduction / restoring democracy.

    Read The Shock Doctrine. Unless there is a major correction, Tucker will continue Trumps’ mission – and people traumatized by Donald’s chaos will embrace him.

    While Bondi is correct in that there is “hate speech” (in general, not specifically regarding Kirk), while I hate that I agree with Carlson on this, he’s right that the government silencing hate speech would be a massive problem and constitutional violation. Private entities can always remove hate speech from their own services, but it’s not the government’s job to define that speech.

    Anyway, what’s that they say about broken clocks?

    I hate that I’m on the same side as this chuckle fuck on litarally anything but also I’m glad he’s saying it, even if I think he’s just acting on Russia’s behalf to destabilize the union
