I felt the same way last night especially, when he went on and on about it. Look, he’s trying to wake people up by “overbending” them, I get that. He’s yelling “Fire!” rather than politely suggesting there could be a whiff of smoke in the air.

But for a person who prides himself on telling both (or all) sides of a story, he’s stuck like a broken record. If he wanted to be the Real Tucker Carlson, he’d lay out his dilemma and then invite people from both sides to debate it.

He seems to have lost the formula for what made him successful and instead has turned into Hannity.

His monologue left me wanting to open a vein.

That’s good news. This needs to be seen by all:

I sent it out to my address book.

BACK AWAY FROM THE EDGE.

The total number of Protesters, Rioters, Anarchists, Looters, on TV and in the BLUE, Democrat cities, is likely between 500,000 to million knuckleheads. That’s it.

The OVERWHELMING majority of Americans are repulsed by what they see. Their voices will be heard in November.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

This has been true through every political revolution. The left has chosen this moment to act and employ all their operatives. People “too busy working to live their lives” ignored the takeover of the media, schools, arts, churches etc. The march through the institutions is complete. I think Carlson see this as a moment in time where the country could be lost, permanently.

Depressing, yes but I don’t think he’d be doing it if he had lost all hope.

If it bleeds, it ledes.

True everywhere.

Tucker can pile it on.

Trump should win 2020 comfortably, similar to Nixon in '72 with some voter fraud.

Bill O’Reilly is no better on his new show. He at least is not as condecending as he used to be. Depressing subject matter. That said Bill wants you to pay for archives so while it runs on a free streaming service unless you screen capture the show the archives are not on the channel’s free app but at Bill’s pay site.

My nephew’s wife who leans left has stated unequivocally that she is voting for Trump.

My sister, who says that she loathes Trump's "manner and style," will be voting for him. I'm assuming that there are many more like her.

Tucker is warning us but it almost seems too late with all the events that have taken place. I know this is wrong

Tucker is right, don't dismiss his warnings. Alert as many people as you can to his message and hope they wake from their slumber. No time for Pollyanna thoughts, buy guns.

“Every Trump supporter I know is also more determined than ever to vote for Trump in November.”

That’s certainly me. I’ve been voting since ‘88, and I’ve never been more determined and enthusiastic to vote for a candidate than I am for Trump this year. Not even close. No president has ever been treated so unfairly by the media and the opposition. No president has ever been vilified like this one. No president has ever needed his supporters to step up in a big way than this one. It’s almost a cliché to say that this is a make-or-break election for the country because some people seem to say that every time, but when we see the chaos in the streets and the communists waiting in the wings to take over and destroy what’s left of this country, well, I don’t know if it’s a “make” election but it certainly will be a “break” election if we lose.

I don’t need a bogus poll to know that 40 million out of work, Corona virus lockdowns and a possible recession, chaos in the streets and a total lack of normalcy as a result of all of the above, are all very bad things for an incumbent. It doesn’t matter that most of it isn’t Trump’s fault, right or wrong the buck stops with him. There will always be millions of commentaries on what he could have would have should have done better or differently. America feels like it’s being ripped apart at the seams, and the hits just keep coming.

If the economy comes roaring back and we replace tens of millions of lost jobs by autumn (unlikely), Corona virus becomes a bad memory (unlikely), and civil unrest dies down (less unlikely than the other two items), Trump has a chance. If the world still feels upside down and normalcy a distant memory of last year and millions are out of work, or working but lost everything a couple months ago due to being out of work all Spring, I can’t see swing voters springing for Trump, or any incumbent. This year has been a challenger’s dream.

I believe that the American Empire peaked soon after WWII and it's been a downhill slide ever since.

Even if I'm right, that doesn't mean we should just wallow around until the collapse is complete.

We can still fight the good fight and try to push off the inevitable as long as possible.

Those that believe that the "American Spirit" or some other such vague notion will always win out are just fooling themselves. I'm sure that the Babylonians thought there was a "Babylonian Spirit" and the Romans thought there was a "Roman Spirit", etc. that would guarantee their continued existence at the top of the food chain.

America's fate will be no different.

Keep praying for God’s Intervention. We know eventually all this is going down His Way . . .any day (OK not setting a date here). All of this mayhem is a foreshadowing of the last days. No one is guaranteed a next breath . . .so we need to be ready to meet Jesus . . .it’s our choice you know.

I agree 100%. I'm 77 years old and in very bad health. I am ready to meet my Lord in Heaven. I feel so bad for those who are still young and have to put up with this longer than I have to. I pray everyday for His return and the rapture that will spare all those who believe as well as those who he has chosen to raise from the dead. That will be a glorious day.

Wrong. Tucker tells it like it is.

Except when he doesn’t. He himself came out and apologized for his “sky is falling” coverage of the virus when it first appeared (which is to his credit, of course).

Look at Britain today.

If you didn’t know anything about their history, would you have believed they were once the most powerful Empire the world has ever known?

Getting the virus wrong was an honest mistake.

But the patterns we’re seeing today, are unmistakable, when aligned with past history. History may not repeat, but it sure does rhyme.

Tucker is accurately describing the massive gaslighting campaign the American public has been subjected to over the past two weeks. It should scare people.

And Trump should rise to the seriousness of the moment. His hot Twitter takes are fine for when the good times are rolling, but it seems so infantile and frivolous considering the threats we face.
