Tucker Carlson spotlights 'how similar to China we have become' in just seven months

Officials have imposed restrictions that 'would've been impossible to imagine ... in January'

It's time to reclaim the freedoms and principles upon which the United States was founded before the country becomes completely unrecognizable, Tucker Carlson warned his viewers Thursday.

The "Tucker Carlson Tonight," host opened Thursday's show by asking his audience to recall "what a very different country this was on New Year's morning."

"Back then, a little over seven months ago, the U.S. felt politically volatile. There was an election coming," Carlson said. "But it [was] still fundamentally American. There was no mistaking this country for any other country. We were not Mexico ... we definitely weren't China.

"Yes, most of our goods were manufactured in Asia," Carlson went on, "but our way of life, our system and society seemed to be the very opposite of China. The Chinese were enslaved. We were free. That was the difference and it was permanent. It would never change."

Carlson then played a sound bite from a January interview with Dr. Anthony Fauci, who discussed the authoritarian measures the Chinese government had taken to contain the virus and described how officials "shut out traffic out of Wuhan, planes, trucks, buses, ferries ..."

Then Fauci added, "There's no chance in the world that we could do that to Chicago or to New York or to San Francisco."

Tucker presented a compelling case for how bad the USA is right now and how far the progressives are pushing our country. If we don’t wake up and mobilize the SILENT MAJORITY, we are going to lose our way of life.

Invent a fake pandemic and get all the media to hype it.

Leftist governors and mayors control large blue states. They have a lot of power.

I posted about this very thing months ago. What the heck were we doing following the ChiComs down their rabbit hole with a ChiCom-style response. What might be possible with and work for an authoritarian command & control regime is not a good fit for anyone else.

Trying to shutter the NRA is the best example I know.

Yes. Millions of teens in CA and across the nation are looking at high school this fall or this entire year with no sports, no drama, no music—no dating—no human connection. No proms.

And millions of younger children in CA and across the nation as well—no playing, no parks, no friends. Looking at a computer alone ALL DAY LONG.

It’s really, really, sad—and a huge societal change. This is bigger than 60% of restaurants failing. Maybe we didn’t need so many restaurants.

But no friends? No dating? No sports or music or clubs? It’s awful.

Today though I saw a glimmer of hope: the governor and one Senator of NY announced schools could/should reopen.

As a blue state, this gives me hope. I guess the teachers’ union is not as strong in NY as it is in CA?
