the reality is that cenk is a republican, so the fact that he's arguing from the right here is not surprising - he usually argues from the right of the spectrum. and, the reason tucker carlson is so dangerous is that he isn't stupid. but, however disingenuously, or however capriciously, or however tactically, tucker is actually taking the left side of the debate, here. and, i'm left to wonder - how much of a pattern is this? are the post-ideological nihilists in the republican intelligentsia actually purposefully taking advantage of the democratic party's re-embrace of conservative values, to try and reposition themselves as the populist left, as they were in the nineteenth century? has the spectrum flipped that dramatically?

i mean, i'm used to recoiling against cenk for pretending he's a representative of the left, and coming off as a liberal republican - because that's what he is. but, i'm also used to being revolted by tucker carlson for being a post-ideological nihilist. so, i should know better. but, i can nonetheless see the truth as clearly as it exists.
