What a meathead asshole Rogan is. Tucker too.

      You got me.

      I haven’t watched a complete, unedited episode of Tucker Carlson’s latest streaming show on Twitter and instead based my opinion of him on the last several decades of his shows, books, and public statements. Maybe he’s not a disingenuous hack in this one, and I’m missing out on some actual, hard-hitting journalism.

      Somehow, I doubt it.

        Well, you might be surprised. Part of reconciling your difference with the other 50% of the country that doesn’t agree with you is being willing to listen to the media they consume. I don’t agree 100% with conservative media at all. Hell no. But part of my journey on figuring out what is going on involves at least giving the opposition a chance to speak. If you are set in your ways I understand and you will do what you feel is right.

        I just want people to at least entertain the opportunity that maybe… just maybe they should look at things a little further before they declare half their neighbors to be the enemy.

          I didn’t say half my neighbors are the enemy. I said Tucker Carlson is a disingenuous hack and a piece of shit, and I stand by that assessment.

          Being open minded is good advice, but maybe more relevant to the people trying to ban books and overturn elections than the people who aren’t interested in watching your favorite nepo-baby whine on Twitter. I’ve got better ways to spend my time than giving him attention.

          The right have been calling the left unamerican satanists for decades. So don’t give me shit about who thinks about people who disagree with them as enemies.

            Well I certainly understand your position and I thank you for your time.

          Do I need to watch an entire show to know that the clips of Tucker Carlson saying things like white supremacist rhetoric and support of Andrew Tate and Alex Jones make him a horrible person? What more do I have to gain from watching his bigotry?
