Tucker Carlson misreads Trump’s pre-election strategy: Tucker is missing the important choice Trump is forcing on Americans
American Thinker ^ | 06/26/2020 | Andrea Widburg

Since 2020’s craziness began, Tucker Carlson has been brilliant. He’s talked us through speech-killing political correctness and “cancel culture,” a health panic that leftist politicians have used to break Trump supporters, and racism as bad as that during the Jim Crow era only with the races reversed. Carlson is always unafraid to tell the truth.

When the riots started, between his job at Fox News and his home base in Washington, D.C., Carlson has had a front-row seat for the spectacle of leftist protesters systematically destroying property and America’s heritage. It is a demoralizing show.

This demoralization was front and center in Carlson’s monologue on Thursday night. He opened by saying there’s a good chance that Trump can lose the election, making Biden president. (Were that to happen, I believe America would become the first country ever knowingly to elect to its highest office a man with dementia.)

Carlson’s conclusion didn’t arise because the polls show that the basement-dwelling Biden, who’s trotted out every few days to prove he’s still alive, is soaring in the polls. After all, voters remember 2016 and Hillary’s lead. Carlson did observe that the Trump team is worried, but that wasn’t driving Carlson’s pessimism.

Instead, what concerned Carlson is that the Republicans have been supine in their response, first, to the lockdowns and, second, to the violent protests leftists have brought to America’s streets. He noted that Republican politicians were caught flatfooted because they are so naïve they can’t believe that the lockdowns and the riots are a planned and systemic attack on America’s conservative voters. They have therefore stood on the sidelines, he said, abandoning Americans to the mob.

To illustrate, Carlson played a disturbing call a panicked mother in Fredericksburg, Virginia, made to 911 when the mob trapped her in her car,

Trump is allowing Americans to experience first-hand the immediate consequences of their political choices in America’s fifty “laboratories of democracy.”

So your daughter is taken hostage. What do you do? They Democrats have done just that. They have taken the country hostage, and their demand is that Trump is voted out. So? What do you do? Are you defiant and refuse to pay the ransom, do people really want four more years of Democrat antics, because you know that's exactly what they will do if Trump is re-elected. They are counting on the American people to go ahead and "pay the ransom".

These comments are just sad “copes” by the remnant who still want to believe.

My opinion is that Trump is more likely to quit than he is to run and lose.

Some things, you can’t tell people. You have to show them.

I think this country is going to have to literally stare into the abyss before things turn around.

The problem is, how do you UNDO the tearing down of monuments once done

Art counterfeiters are plentiful. Personally I could care less if they are fakes they look the same. So same in fact that it takes multiple experts to certify any art as genuine and they are long a lot of the time. Who cares everything will soon be virtual anyway.

No, the Democrats will not to strip away any 2016 Trump voters

Mail in elections will destroy us and they are counting on it, that is why they have to keep the pandemic going.

That is unless they’re too blind or brainwashed to see it.

I think you may understand how we can lose. The average voter has no clue what is going on in the political world, if you think they do try talking to the average college graduate coming home this year.

Most know that Trump is a sexist, racist, homophobe that would shoot us all if he could. And to make matters worse he is married to an illiterate ex model that is too ugly to make a single cover photo in a magazine, unlike the beautiful Michel that made every major magazine cover, some more than once.

What Trump needs to do is

Fire his FBI director and either kick Barr's arse or fire him as well.

He keeps complaining about all the crimes that Obama's administration committed in the spying debacle and yet no one is even indicted and Durham's investigation is likely to continue until after the next election, according to Barr.

He needs to actually go to war with his party instead of trying to get along with them, they hate him. Surely people can figure out that everyone in D.C. knows how these crooks get rich, but they don't.

Right you are… They are for the most part, counting on a blind eye being paid to the various stages of the coup already executed and now they are figuring that the ‘coup-weary electorate’ would rather cave into the mob than put up with even more stages of the coup.

Tucker doesn’t see the big picture. And because he’s convinced he’s the smartest man in the room, regardless of what room he’s in, he’s unwilling to learn. Tucker is the living definition of the peter principle.

You have bought into the media narrative that America is under siege. However, in reality it is only in a select few Democrat cities their leaders are permitting to be looted and burned. The consequences of electing liberals is seen nightly. The same media is crying wolf over the number of covid cases. Deaths are inflated and conflated, while actual fatalities are infinitesimal compared to those infected.

You wouldn’t recognize Fredericksburg today. It’s been engulfed by urban sprawl.
