Nothing shocking about it. He hated Trump when Carlson worked at Fox - there are texts of him calling Trump an idiot. Then he claimed to love Trump when he won. He's a grifter, and he senses the tides are turning. The rats are always the first to abandon a sinking ship...

Seriously. I am terrified by how many people are getting seduced by this grifter. People in my life who have hated Trump from the beginning are sending me occassional Tucker clips. He is being very smart and effective right now and I can't believe its working.
I am definitely of the belief of never believe liar even when they're telling the truth. Tucker believes in whatever will help Tucker and occasionally he'll spit out a good sounding take but even then its self serving

Listnook itself is so gleefully posting his clips to the front page. I think that the sheer narrative hook of "bad guy says the right things" makes people feel good, it makes them feel like the world is returning to sanity. So they bite. They're not really concerned about the deep rot in the original behavior if the heel-face turn feels good.

Yeah. I feel very conflicted about where were heading.
On one hand I feel like the country is waking up more than it ever has. I truly believe this is the first time in decades progressive policies have the opportunity to make a huge comeback. This all of course is assuming the GOP losing big in the midterms and that were not already too far down an authoritarian path.
That being said, I feel like were gonna f*** this all up.
The GOP is gonna convince half of america that progressives are communists and the DNC is gonna argue theyre too extreme and dont represent the Democratic party, which means the party hasnt learned literally anything. And the public is either apathetic to all of this, polarized to various extremes, or utterly media illiterate.
Even just writing this out has me convinced were just gonna elect some other conman in 2028 because while people are waking up to what a piece of shit Trump is, I dont have faith they will learn the right lessons from this

chumbawumbathefirstApr 21, 2026

Even though it feels pessimistic I do agree with you. I feel it will have to go that way sheerly based on precedent - I remember being there in 2016 and being utterly astounded by the election. I remember thinking that, at least, we would all learn our lesson, and of course I was here again in 2024. I feel that there's just no historical basis to assume that the people can be "woken up."
I think it's just too depressing to say the truth out loud: we've lost a war of attention, information and education as a class. We are absolutely capable of righting and correcting that, but, that capability is contingent on our recognizing and confronting the issue. But we're not going to, most likely, as disinformation reaches untold heights with no sign of stopping. We are collectively still unraveling exactly how malicious the systems we live in truly are, and I find it entirely possible that we will need generations for this to truly change.
If, somehow, we can actually connect the will of the people to the system of governance, then we are ideologically poised for the best era of the nation yet. But as it stands the line is fully severed. The government does not represent our interests, has not represented our interests, and will not represent our interests without radical systemic change.

I would be upset at this, but I've always known he's a huckster and not to be trusted.

“You and I and everyone else who supported him — you wrote speeches for him, I campaigned for him — we’re implicated in this for sure,” Tucker Carlson said. “It’s not enough to say, ‘Well, I changed my mind’ or, like, ‘Oh, this is bad. I’m out.’ It’s, like, in very small ways, but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now.”
The problem is integrity. He has none. How can he be trusted now or going forward?
As I said, I've known he's been a huckster. I think it's a good first step for him to come forward like this. That aside, the problem is that he's just one fish in the big huckster ocean.
