    Oh that’s easy. “We aren’t responsible for contributing to the destruction of our country and the murder of innocents, and neither are you dear viewers. You simply need to understand that the president is practicing witchcraft. Remove the witch and leave us in power and we’ll all do much better. Also you can’t prosecute someone who was hypnotized with a magic aura.”

    I simply refuse to consider the possibility that he’s just never experienced the narcissistic charisma before and actually was unable to resist it, much less consider it a defense.

      Tucker is among the ones I hate the most because he genuinely is very intelligent. He chose to be a ratfucking hateful traitor, he didn’t stupid his way into it…

        Yeah, I don’t think he’s a genius, he gives off real “third smartest kid in school” vibes to me (though that may just be because he reminds me of my high school bully). He knows better and if he doesn’t that’s a choice. Unlike the other major far right media personalities he didn’t fail at his goals and wind up here, he took opportunities and risks and they paid off. He could have been a centrist or mild right media darling forever, but no he became the go to mainstream media personality of the white nationalists.

        The reason I think he thinks he’s smarter than he is is that he overextended, and it’s not the first time. Then these comments may or not be great propaganda, idk, but they’re certainly self incriminating self defense. It’s a behavior I’ve seen so many people make when convinced they’re smarter than they are.
