The original title of the video I'm linking to here is: Trump Admits Mass Deportations and Building the Wall Was All a Total Scam. Tucker Responds. LINK: https://youtu.be/dwE3nE_q7CE
It is genuinely daring for Carlson to open the video with a condemnation of Ronald Regan: even Cenk Uygur speaks very fondly of Regan, in retrospect. At this moment, it is more daring to point out that Regan was a moron than it is to say the same about Trump.
This monologue covers an array of seemingly unrelated issues, unified by the unanswered question of what it means to be right wing anymore: Donald Trump has discredited his own policy positions more than those of his opponents.
Tucker Carlson is both stupid and insane —often astoundingly so. He is, also, a figure of real historical significance. His work has become more substantive and more important since he transitioned from "a real job" in broadcast media to "doing his own thing" on youtube. There was a time when he was just the idiot in the bow tie making excuses for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has become an idiot of another kind.
