Carlson: Caught Lying for Trump




Tucker Carlson & Fox News appear to be a trusted source at 
right-wing fundamentalist ministry "Answers in Genesis"

Tucker Carlson, a Fox News liar who has promoted numerous conspiracy theories, particularly about election fraud, has left Fox News.....seemingly because those lies about election rigging have come home to roast roost at Fox News and Fox News needs a scapegoat, not that this scapegoat is innocent: Carlson was undoubtedly the vilest kind of conspiracy liar; in fact given his prominence and influence I would rate him second only to Alex Jones. 

As Carlson was so linked to Donald Trump, maybe his demise will help hold back Trump's bid for the presidency and what looks like the ulterior aim to turn the US into a right-wing dominionist dictatorship. Hopefully it will also hold back the career of authoritarian Qanon conspiracy crackpot and Putin supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene

2) An FB friend of mine was criticizing the alt-right on his FB page. I agreed and added this comment:

A pretty standard & historically well tested strategy by the alt-right: Tap into fears, insecurity, bitterness, a sense of injustice, anger and the like, and then create an ogre by demonizing a group of people to pin the blame on. We've seen it so many times before!

 That is true of compromised popularist fundamentalists, Fox News and also the far-left

5) Trump: If he thinks he can grab power without having to engage in a debate and give public account of himself then he will: He's conceited enough to think everyone wants him to be president and those who don't are engaged in an act of betrayal. This is the mind of a wannabe dictator who hates public accountability.
