Don’t forget this is describing how he’d handle a 15 year old.

Stop it. You’re turning this into a thirst trap for the handful of conservatives on Lemmy.

Carlson is a cynical freak of nature. Why his audience listens to anything he says is bizarre. He hated the orange bad (as proven by chat messages that came out in trial) and sells his soul to boost him because he doesn’t truly believe in anything other than the death of America.

And making it sickingly sexual.

This is the green M&M weirdo, right?

You bad girl 😏 little naughty thing 😏 economy, inflation, bad bad thing you 😏 daddy gonna fix it 😏 silly slutty macroeconomics 😏

This. Shit. Is. Not. Normal.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

At this point, what even IS normal? We've lived through 2020. The word has lost all meaning. Nothing has meaning anymore. May as well get a refund for the louisianna purchase, and then france can sell it to the british. Then the british have the second american revolutionary war.

None of it makes sense. None of it needs to. Nothing is normal. I'm mentally worn out. You could tell me Mike Tyson is the next leader, and all he wants to do is institute a national puppy hugging hour. 7pm. Everybody is mandated to hug the puppies.

Sure. That may as well happen.

Is this your first day on earth brother? We have never once been okay.

This was, no kidding, one of the weirdest things I've ever seen.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

100%. I'm struggling to find language for just how fucking weird that was.

Its like they're worshipping the wrath they feel as divinely justified? He even addresses how openly cruel it sounds by claiming 'he loves us'!?

Lets not forget the turbo-pedo-misogyny, either. That was fetishistic as hell.

What. The. Fuck.

I heard the clip. It was weirder and grosser than the headline implies, and the applause was more tepid than thunderous

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They went wild for the “daddy’s home and he’s mad” bit.

That is fucking insane. That is scary.

These Trump people will absolutely let themselves be dominated and abused. They will welcome fascism.

I told people back in 2016 that trump reminded me of hitler. People said I was being dramatic.

I didn't like bush. I hated bush. I NEVER said bush had similarities to hitler.

I hated reagan. Reagan's policies are still hurting us, long after his death. Prisons should NOT be for profit! Reagan wasn't hitler.

But from day 1, trumps speeches, and the content of his words, his actions, even some of his mannerisms, they all reeked of hitler. I'm not being dramatic.

He built a wall, deported the race of people he didn't like, and also rounded them up using secret police, arrested them, and then killed them.

Wait, was that hitler who did that, or trump? Oh right, it was both. They both literally did those things.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hitler wasn’t really known for building a wall. If you’re referring to the wall separating East and west Germany, that was the Russians long after Hitler’s death.

But yeah, I agree with your other observations.

Errrmmmm.......

Actually, I wasn't talking about the Berlin wall.....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Coastal defenses in wartime aren't really the same thing as a wall to keep civilians in or out.

I know we shouldn't kink shame and all, but for fuck's sake, Tucker...

Threatening bodily harm to the vice president? Any normal person would get a tete-a-tete with the secret service...

I don't think he meant Harris, feels more like he was just living out some creepy conservative pedophile fantasy where the US is personified by a "hormone-addled 15-year-old girl" who deserves a spanking – because normal, well-adjusted people spank their children, especially teenagers.

Even if he did mean Harris, consequences are for people who aren't conservatives – they can do and say almost anything without any sort of legal consequence.
