Tucker Carlson’s ‘Ship of Fools’

Thank you. I have started to read Tucker's book. Tucker has an insightful, conspiracy-free view of what has happened to our country during his lifetime (nearly 50 years). In the early going he focuses particularly on the increasing financial gap between rich ("the elites") and poor, and the decimation of the middle class. Avoiding the conspiracy side of things probably makes his writing more digestible to what we now call "normies", but I think it misses the big picture.

In the rest of the book he talks about uncontrolled immigration, excessive wars, the anti free speech movement, the insanity of diversity as a core value, the increasing craziness of gender, and the hypocrisy of the greenies. But he doesn't get to the core issue of a self-empowered super elite who really want the little people to just disappear (and are planning to help them do so), and who meanwhile do great injury to morality, wages, security, and happiness.

Clearly, I’m a “normie,” which must be why I enjoy Tucker so much. Though I’d rather see him just expound for an hour than argue with the liberal idiots.

:: and the decimation of the middle class ::

Communists can not countenance a middle-class that is not loyal to the Party. So much so that, if you aren’t loyal (according to your middle-class friends and neighbors) you are no longer middle-class.

See something, say something.
