American conservatives are in a tizzy of in-fighting after one of their leading voices, Tucker Carlson, hosted a genial chat with a Holocaust-denying, Hitler-admiring, 27-year-old white-nationalist influencer, Nick Fuentes. Should your local upstanding conservative disavow King Tuck? Or is Tucker's aww-shucks, just-askin'-questions schtick too valuable to the foot soldiers of the New Right?
To help us understand the fissure splitting MAGA right now, Josh conducts a forensic post-mortem on the speech Tucker Carlson gave on a recent trip to Australia. It lays bare Carlson's worldview, his rhetorical skills, his tricks as well as his insights.
By understanding Tucker Carlson's tactics, we'll better understand Trump, anti-Semitism, wokeism, immigration, the degradation of the public square... and the impact that President Tucker Carlson (yes, Josh believes that's a strong possibility) could have on conservatism, America and the world.
