The left often attacks Tucker Carlson as a demagogue, but I find that he is mostly on target. This infuriates the Left, as his audience dwarfs their mainstream media outlets, including the sought-after younger viewer demographics.
This spells trouble for Democrats, who have been able to pull the wool over the eyes of younger voters for decades (myself included, in my teens and 20s, with a very brief relapse 10 years ago). Most young, college-educated people haven’t experienced the real world of taxes, inflation, affirmative action, and other challenges of adult life. The Biden administration’s incompetence and wokeness at all costs have thrown cold water on their idealism and naivety.
That said, it appears that Tucker has had an epiphany spurred on by a far-reaching “equity” policy introduced by Biden last week.
I welcome Carlson’s critique of this disgraceful and discriminatory policy, but it’s a little late to make a goal-line stand. Fifty-plus years too late. Racial and gender preference policy is now decades old, and Biden’s latest ‘equity’ policy is just the final result of this collective idiocy.
I submit that my hometown of Rochester, New York, was at the forefront of this movement in the 1960s. Then Rochester-headquartered Xerox Corp. was ‘woke’ well before it was fashionable. In fact, founding CEO Joseph C. Wilson directed Xerox managers to hire unqualified minorities in 1968. Remember the Left’s canard that told us that all affirmative action recipients are qualified? Wilson’s memo disproves that lie.
Extreme “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” policies were a long time in the making, much like a slow-moving train wreck.

As an aside, as a manager, I had to take a two-hour sexual harrassment course recently. The entire video never once portrayed a white man as the "victim" in any of those scenarios. The examples always showed a black person, female, Asian, or transgender person getting harrassed with usually a white man as the aggressor.
The funny thing is that in nearly 40 years in the workforce, most of it in management, I have never had a harrassment claim filed against me. On the other hand, I constantly have women employees hugging me, flirting with me and asking me how my marriage is going - with the not so subtle undertone that they can offer me comfort if it is not going well. A few years back, there was a woman employee who was always coming up behind me and rubbing my shoulders or arm, offering to get me coffee or whatever.
Of course, I would never complain about any of that. Would seem rather silly if I did.
It’s complex but one factor of many is white males in the 70s maybe even 60s had the power but were afraid to use it together collectively.
They didn’t want to be labeled with all the “ists” being thrown at them by the left.
SexIST
RaceIST
MilitarIST
ExtremIST
EtcIST
So they stood back and let the left advance.
Reality is a hard teacher.
Women will learn this.
Agreed.
Individuals have power, not demographic categories.
Ukraine and the Neocons are part of the problem—not part of the solution.
They want us to unite while our leaders stomp on us at home.
That requires mind-boggling willful blindness.
Our enemy is right here—no need to go chasing around the world looking for more.
Elections say otherwise.
“Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”

It almost goes without saying:
We Conservatives read Atlas Shrugged and 1984 as cautionary tales.
Progressives read these same books as if they are the Owner’s Manual.
“f these aren’t the thing to fight for “
How?
“It seems like they have been winning election after election since 2018. “
WRONG! They stole them. FACT
Did they steal the four yesterday? No accusations even on far right sources. Hmmm.
I refuse to argue with you. I know where you are coming from and I simply don’t view this like you do.
I understand. It’s not exactly a cut and dry topic. Have a great night.
