It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Tucker Carlson is absolute cynical swine who believes in nothing other than making money and having an audience. He's doing the same thing that always happens to ousted conservative pundits/politicians, he's trying to triangulate on something that would make him an outsider but still resonate with hogs. And since he'll never be allowed back into the FoxNews fourth estate club, this is the only option he has. He can't keep being the same old Tucker, there are a million of those. He's gotta position himself as somehow different than those standard TV media people.
i think sometimes people here forget how big Tucker was. He was getting 4 million people watching him per night, and then tens of million more would watch clips of his on Facebook or whatever. He's not getting those sorts of numbers back unless he starts getting wacky with it
