And I thought someone like Josh Hawley would be a problem.

I wasn't even thinking about Tucker Carlson but when confronted with the possibility of him running, I think he ticks enough boxes to appeal to 'moderates' who really only hate Trump for lack of decorum and would gladly back him if he would just "act like a president" and retain the MAGA crowd.

It'll be interesting to see how this goes. I think Carlson and Hawley are very aware of where the GOP base is but the GOP has a huge problem because they are holding onto the Libertarian ideology of tax cuts, deregulation, eliminating government entirely with the white identity politics. That's the Koch money. They can't hop off that ideology at all. We have a pandemic and they're bytching about people getting $600 a week unemployment. They're saying Juneteenth can be a holiday but lets eliminate Columbus Day to save money on the national debt. :wtf: :gucci:

I have never, ever met a progressive liberal who watched Tucker Carlsen. Do a poll and I'd bet you anything he has more "disaffected Obama" and "disaffected Clinton" watchers than "disaffected Bernie" watches. You're so full of shyt.

There are definitely Bernie Bros who will gladfuly vote for Trump because he's "anti establishment" and they'd likely vote for Tucker. This isn't some large group by any means but I agree there is "some" overlap between disaffected white males regardless of whether they believe in conservative or liberal policy. In fact I'd argue many don't care about policy and are moreso interested in a vague idea of anti corruption.

I remember watching Tucker videos during his "freelance" days. Don't get it twisted his sweet spot is the overlap between bernie bros and trumptards.

The forgotten white YOUNG male.



I bet he does pretty well on youtube with young white males. Dude has videos that do a million views daily on YT. They love him.

I agree with breh. Both groups are simpatico, even if its not immediately apparent. There are a number of overlapping themes between them. Carlson and Jimmy Dore are in the same lane. Naturally Carlson is more presentable while Dore is damn near a wack job.
  • First one is disenfranchisement due to modern day corruption. They both feel denied of rights and privileges due to machinations from powerful interest groups. For Bernie brehs, the culprits are corporations while Tucker Carlison's audience point the finger at liberal hollywood/trannies/deep state/coastal elite.
  • Both prefer to argue in favor classism as the main divider, and are quite bearish on identity politics, seeing it as an another obstacle to social cohesion(more so Tucker Carlson's audience than Bernie bros).
  • Both are usually critical of US foreign policy, and tired of war. Difference here is that bernie brehs present a moral and economic argument while Carlson's audience focus on the economic argument
  • Both critical of big tech and government surveillance
  • Both flirt with ConspiracySet more so than other groups
  • Where they really bind is their shared desired for "radical change" and the belief that the current status quo is the enemy.
    • Bare in mind, this disdain for the status quo is on a continuum, bernie bros who defect to TrumpSet are usually the individuals whose disdain for the status quo enters the territory of hate and disgust, and have no particular affection for social causes. So the path to TrumpSet has very little obstacles

If they have no particular affection for social causes, then they ain't progressive liberals.

This guy didn't just say there's some overlap, he said that Bernie supporters and Tucker supporters are "one and the same".

I have no doubt that there are weirdos out there who aren't progressive but who would vote for Bernie just because he's not establishment. Just like the Republicans who supported Tulsi or the Democrats who supported Bloomberg. Just like there were White voters who were racist as fukk but still voted for Obama anyway for one reason or another, and millions of Clinton voters in 2008 went for McCain....and plenty of both who then went on to vote for Trump. On the fringe 10% of every group you get plenty of weirdos who aren't in it for the base reasons but for their own peripheral reasons.

But we were talking about the base. The fool up there literally claimed that the sweet spot of Tucker's support was the overlap in Bernie/Trump supporters because they're "one and the same". And again, the next time any progressive liberal tells me that they're a Tucker Carlson fan will be the first time.

Funny how he in fact seems to be the only one in the thread who admits to having regularly watched Carlson. :patrice:

I'm not privy to any prior conversations outside this thread but seems like the bolded is all he said here :patrice:.

That being said, seems like you get my gist

That statement can be interpreted multiple ways, he took it further in this thread when he said, "Some go alt right some go bernie, either way they are one and the same."
