He plays to the fears and possible bigotry he perceives in his audience, given the demographics of viewers of cable news. He is not speaking to black or Hispanic women, but to older white guys. He is smart enough to know, for example, that such folks are annoyed by things like “press one for English,” so he says that they should not have to accept the changes that immigration brings.No reasonable person would believe what he says, says carlson, so why is his audience so large and why does that audience take what he says as gospel?
Key word: 'reasonable' .... your answer is in your post already. Apparently those that believe are not reasonable peopleNo reasonable person would believe what he says, says carlson, so why is his audience so large and why does that audience take what he says as gospel?
What his lawyers argue in court and what he says on his show are two different things.No reasonable person would believe what he says, says carlson, so why is his audience so large and why does that audience take what he says as gospel?
I vote for Q being the prophet.No reasonable person would believe what he says, says carlson, so why is his audience so large and why does that audience take what he says as gospel?
Tucker Carlson doesn't care what damage is done to the USA, the world, to humanity. He's getting rich. And it is pointless. He already has more than he can spend, has enough to live lavishly the rest of his life and never work again. Yes, he is deranged.Tucker is in it for the profit.
Because they’re really, really, really stupid and gullible.No reasonable person would believe what he says, says carlson, so why is his audience so large and why does that audience take what he says as gospel?
Did JFK ever show up in Dallas? If not are they still waiting for him to?I vote for Q being the prophet.
If I could like this twice I would.
He did, along with Elvis, but the media has censored it!Did JFK ever show up in Dallas? If not are they still waiting for him to?
Because he shares true stories that terrify and enrage his audience and support their preconceptions about the world without putting these stories into any broader context or perspective that would reveal that their preconceptions are actually misconceptions and would require them to change their understanding to better fit reality. This is what people find entertaining.No reasonable person would believe what he says, says carlson, so why is his audience so large and why does that audience take what he says as gospel?
Because reasonable people can believe what Trump says and that he will keep his promises.No reasonable person would believe what he says, says carlson, so why is his audience so large and why does that audience take what he says as gospel?
Like the wall that mexico is paying for? Wasn't that his signature promise or was it locking up hillary on day one?Because reasonable people can believe what Trump says and that he will keep his promises.
I can't say about Carlson. I am not that familiar.

Well I don't know about that either. Putin is not exactly enjoying wide support among the American populace at the moment....far from it.Tucker is in it for the profit.
Good illustration. There was a wall and Mexico did pay for it.Like the wall that mexico is paying for? Wasn't that his signature promise or was it locking up hillary on day one?
Been in a cult much? You seem really tuned into one.Trump is the prophet, Carlson is the Pharisee in Chief. Putin is the messiah.

But strangely, conservatives have for a while -since at least Reagan - worn their support of (non-communist or leftist) dictators as a sign of their greater patriotism.So if my opinion, Trump is playing a bit of a straddle though still mainly providing fodder that is supportive of Putin.
Carlson is not running for office nor even trying to run for office. Hence he can just lie right through his teeth, misstating comments from US government officials about things like this whole Ukraine bio-labs story, statements that can just be checked easily by anybody with even a passing interest in facts.
IMO, they are both doing it mainly to provide PROPAGANDA for distribution by state TV in Russia to the domestic Russian audience.
The line of thinking being "Oh look fellow Russians, even the Americans are with us in this war".
We should never consider Trump or Carlson as patriotic Americans ever again because no matter how you cut it, what they are doing weakens the United States.
There are no Reagan style conservatives left...maybe Cheney....maybe Romney. That is about it. In addition, Russia is not now communist and even when it was, it was a rouse. The actual communist process in the Soviet Union was nationalizing the assets. Once they nationalized them they simply redistributed them to their political buddies. Hardly communism if you asked me.But strangely, conservatives have for a while -since at least Reagan - worn their support of (non-communist or leftist) dictators as a sign of their greater patriotism.
