And there ya go. Thanks for that.

And there ya go. Thanks for that.

I forgot who I was talking to. Another one of those who has no problem with 600,000 dead Americans.

 

[Luckyone]

Typical.

No...not Carlson. I don't give a rat's ass about the guy. Hell, the only time I see anything from him is when people are complaining about him.

No...I'm talking about you and who ever made that video. I'm thinking Carlson must be quite a danger to y'all if this kind of typical hit job is the result.

Tucker Carlson is a sign of what is happening to the Republican Party. After all, he has the highest rating on FOX of anyone else. Many are thinking of him running for President in 2024 and many Republicans support that idea.

This isn't about Tucker, it is about the craziness that is happening to the Republican Party. They are living in a fantasy world where this is the "way to go".

I am surprised you are not watching him. It is the first "sane" thing I have seen from you in 4 years.

Just a note, we have the 3rd worst poverty rate among OECD countries.

Poverty rates in OECD countries 2022 | Statista

Costa Rica had the highest poverty rate of OECD member countries.

At 17.8% of our population living in poverty as of 2019, it's a wonder why we're called a developed nation.

Maybe because even our poorest segment (homeless) can forage so much food, clothing, and other resources from our trash that they can actually be overweight and warmly dressed, etc.?

 

[bubbabgone]

Among developed nations? We’re pretty much dead last.

U.S. Ranks Last Among Seven Countries on Health System Performance Measures

protection of basic human rights like access to healthcare and a basic education was the claim but your link certainly indicates the healthcare rating wasn't for lack of spending.
You didn't detect that the piece was a plug for Obamacare?

Who is Tucker Carlson?

Here is a brand new expose (revealed only 6 days ago) on Youtube that tells you who he really is!



I have to admit I did not know Tucker Carlson worked for CNN from 2000 to 2005 and was let go because of low ratings and worked for MSNBC from 2005 to 2008 and was let go because of a controversy about racism occurred when Jon Stewart came on his show.

Tucker Carlson certainly has been around and on "all sides" of the coin.

What comments do you have about this rich kid?

Tucker follows the money no matter what, especially no matter how degrading, and likes to cloak it in a so-called man of the people truth teller. He's quite vile.

Who said anything about lack of spending? If you have money in this country, you can get the best nose jobs and boob jobs on the planet. But if you’re a kid who happened to be born to a poor family and get diagnosed with an actual illness like leukemia, you and your whole family are pretty much f—‘d.

 

[bubbabgone]

Who said anything about lack of spending?

I did. It's in the comment you replied to.

 

[Mycroft]

Yeah, he really is single-handedly a huge threat to American democracy. Second maybe only to Fox News as a whole and Trump. He is hugely popular, and has a massive audience. It would be foolish to underestimate him.

LOL!!

A person on TV is a "huge threat to American democracy"!

My, my...so much hyperbole. Why...you must think the Republican Party is going to select him as their presidential candidate in 2024. Right?

 

[ataraxia]

I did. It's in the comment you replied to.

Sorry, my bad. I thought you were referring to actual healthcare, not just spending.

If you have money in this country, I agree you can probably get the best nose jobs and boob jobs on the planet. But if you’re a kid who happened to be born to a poor family and get diagnosed with an actual illness like leukemia, then you and your whole family are pretty much f—‘d.

Sure. This is a celebrity worshipping country. Being on TV was Trump’s ticket to the presidency. Tucker is a strong contender for that now too, for the same reason.

Wrong. Being on TV wasn't what got Trump elected. Having policies and positions that the voter wanted got him elected.

No...the only "threat to American democracy" are those people who want to shut down free expression...you know, free expression by people like Carlson.

 

[bubbabgone]

I was wondering why the spending on healthcare per person wouldn't yield the best results.
After all, we do spend the most here in the USA so there must be a reason.
Care to speculate why that is?

 

[Lucky 1]

No, from things like fair democratic elections and institutions, or protection of basic human rights like access to healthcare and a basic education, like they have in other developed countries.

Not sure where you've been...or are...but we have all of those things in the U.S

 

[Acadia]

I like him. Wouldn't miss one of his shows.
Why? Because he drives the loons loonier and makes 'em say things like "one of the greatest threats to the republic".
Gotta love the doom mongering he inspires.
Must be pretty effective.

Effective and often, over the target.

No one is talking about shutting him down. That doesn’t mean what he is spreading is not dangerously misleading misinformation.

So it seems we agree that people like Carlson are free to be threat to American democracy.

 

[ataraxia]

Not sure where you've been...or are...but we have all of those things in the U.S

We’re dead last and quickly falling off the list altogether if we continue the trajectories of the last 40 years.

Hahahaha

Here is an article on what are the 24 theories out there on why Trump won in 2016. I want you to notice that not one single one of the theories was about Trump's policies and positions.

How did Trump win? Here are 24 theories​

and by the way, the #4 theory on why he got elected is: 4) Because celebrity outlasts substance

That's an odd reason to waste time watching a particular show. You must have a lot of time on your hands.

Ritchie Rich never wanted for anything growing up as the heir to a vast family fortune.
(The Swanson TV Dinner business.)

Life...real life, as lived by the majority, is not real to people with sociopathic tendencies.
Multiply that by a factor of a hundred if those people grew up so wealthy that they don't know the price of anything.
To a guy like Tucker, we're just objects.
We might as well be bits of trash on a sidewalk or an errant bug.

It's hard to expect a person like that to view our lives as having any value.

Wow. I've never heard Donald Trump described in a better way. You nailed it.

Only for the un-educated. It's never a good idea to admit that you never miss a Fu**er Carlson show.

 

[Alizia Tyler]

****er Carlson is one of the greatest threats to the republic. He has poisoned the minds of thousands, maybe millions of people with fully fascist lies that are so easily falsified, yet he keeps spewing them. These warped minds keep supporting the destructive policies that hold us back.

Statements of this sort are very interesting and worth some focus.

The greatest threat to our Republic? The statement implies that what a *republic* is, is understood by the one making the comment. One would have to define what a republic is and what it is supposed to do before one could say what is the most grievous threat to it.

Tucker Carlson did not *poison* any minds. If one is even going to entertain such an idea (I am open to talking about it of course) one would have to say that the minds drawn to Tucker Carlson came poisoned to him. But what is that *poison*? And why is it poisonous? And if one is going to broach the topic of *poison* as a serious topic of conversation with *our Republic* in the same breath, one will have to have understood what are the poisons that destroy Republics.

When the founders spoke of those poisons, or those events that could undermine the Republic, what did they have to say?

@Phys251 can I know your thoughts on this?

Can you make a list of the *fascist lies* that Tucker repeats?

When you say *hold us back* you mean who exactly? You could not mean everyone since about hald of the country does not fit into your *us*.

You certainly have taken the time to address what you think is the problem with this person's comment.

Nonetheless, let me give you a few things to think about:

1) What causes a rebellion to start? First there are grievances (complaints). These grievances have usually been ignored over so long a period of time that people have become impatient with the slow pace of change; they begin to feel that conditions are unbearable. These grievances are underlying causes, or the most important causes of rebellion.

2) Many, if not all, rebels are psychologically driven by a false sense of superiority and wounded sense of powerlessness stemming from early childhood experiences. Their rebelliousness can be seen as a compensatory mechanism. If you understand this, it can help you feel compassion for the rebel

3) There always has to be one person who causes the grievances to become concerted action. A person that brings the people together to act as a group, given that individual grievances have little strength.

4) In this day and age and of mass media exposure, there have to be lieutenants that bring the "message" to all (rather than just a few).

Put all of this together, and Trump becomes the leader of the rebellion and the lieutenants are Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan etc.

Why is a rebellion dangerous?

It can cause them to reject safe rules and restraints, like letting impulse overrule judgment to dangerous effect. And it can cause them to injure valued relationships, pushing against those they care about and pushing them away.

This is why Tucker Carlson is a threat to the Republic, especially now when the rebellion has lost its public leader (Trump). With Tucker Carlson being on public TV and highly popular, he now becomes a leader and not just a lieutenant.
