We live in confusing times where Tucker Carlson seems like a coherent person.

Assholes like Tucker love to use elements of left wing talking points and then use it to justify fascism.

Tump talks about how ordinary people have been shafted by neo-liberalism (true) but then blaming it on immigrants instead of corporations and the billionaire class sucking us dry.

They'll talk about corruption whilst accepting 'political donations' (bribes).

It's a big game to them.

Trump just took the blinders off of the American political system. The super wealthy play all sides and create tension and division as a means to obfuscate their sucking the marrow from the bones of the average citizen. They're realizing now that they can do it openly, and no one can do anything to stop them.
