    Tucker is a showman giving the 'believers' the necessary fodder required daily. If they didn't have him to focus their hate, they'd have to turn that hate inward or towards home. It's called victim mentality.

    Note: A few of the below mentions of elites in are bolded to illustrate their prevalence in the OP.

    Can't speak for liberals since I'm not one of them. But here are my thoughts.

    One thing I find quizzical about your above points is that fully half of what you appear to care about is the "elites". It is emblematic of one of the things I hate most about political commentators like Tucker Carlson. This ridiculous, constant, and often manufactured focus on fighting some enemy. It is very easy to dissociate yourself from reason when you are no longer concerned with matters of policy but with a hostile enemy. Appeals to emotion, character assassination, anecdotal evidence, hyperbole, and playing loose with facts are what you will get.

    Now I honestly haven't been able to stomach a full video of Tucker. How much of his time he actually spends on elites, and enemies, I wouldn't know. From the little I have seen, he makes assumptions without evidence, he uses hyperbole a lot, makes false equivalencies, and shows a callous disregard for truth. He pretty embodies what I would expect from a media personality that panders to his audience by feeding them a dose of belief confirmation. It's the same crap I've heard from Mark Levin, or Hannity, or Rush. It's the same reason I can't sit through an entire Rachael Maddow video. Both of them are parasites that radicalize their audiences for profit:

    It is not empty minded to observe that while illegal immigrants don't vote, their children do.

    The Great Replacement is not a conspiracy theory but a Democratic strategy as outlined in The Emerging Democratic Majority.

    It will always be in the interest of ordinary human beings to check and balance the power of a ruling political class.

    Illegal immigrants do vote. Alas.

    "SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A Northern California jury found a Mexican national who assumed an American’s identity to vote in five federal elections guilty of voter fraud and identity theft.

    A jury on Friday found Gustavo Araujo Lerma guilty of aggravated identity theft, making a false statement on a passport application and five counts of voting by an alien in federal elections from 2012 through 2016, the Sacramento Bee reported ."

    But in the real world- they went to the outhouse and fell in, and they are full of it; not right.
    Sadly, they have no clue as to how bad their perception smells.

    You know as well as I do how disingenuous your argument is there.

    Obviously it's only the specific individual cases that we know about where anyone gets punished.

    You said illegal aliens do not vote. In fact, they do. Do you know how many get away with it. ;-)

    “In August 2018, the U.S. attorney in Raleigh announced charges against 19 non-U.S. citizens, accusing them of illegally voting in the 2016 election. Prosecutors at the time said the investigation into voting fraud was ongoing.

    Soon after, it became public that then-U.S. Attorney Bobby Higdon employed subpoenas issued on behalf of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in order to try to obtain voting records from the North Carolina elections board and more than 40 county boards.

    The state board took issue with the requests, calling them overly broad and unreasonable. The board estimated the subpoenas covered over 20 million records. Voting rights activists worried the records were a fishing expedition before midterm elections.”
    ASSOCIATED PRESS, NC Federal Attorneys: 24 More Charged in Voter-Fraud Probe, A federal North Carolina prosecutor’s office that has been investigating allegations of voter-related fraud says 24 more people have been charged over the past 18 months, By GARY D. ROBERTSON, Associated Press, March 19, 2021.

    Why would liberals hate Tucker Carlson ?
    ~ " Progressive " liberal Democrats hate everyone and everything that disagrees with their own skewed point of view.
    Misdirected anger as the result of self-loathing and immaturity. :roll:

    So now you want to reverse 200 years of immigration? LOL

    Good luck with that. Paranoids love the paranoia.

    One step at a time. First we shut the border toillegals. We should be able to do that.

    The only way to shut the border is to surround the country with a wall and man it with soldiers and heavy weapons.

    Yeah, well don't count on the Repubs to be able to pull that s**t off any time soon. They have repeatedly demonstrated their ineptitude and inhumanity in that department. Unless of course, it's just cheap sadistic thrills they are after.

    This is the problem when you have one side just being led by their emotions as an answer to practical real world problems. They do not even comprehend all the ramifications of their BS wishlist, or even how it might turn against them down the road. US conservatives have abandoned looking for real solutions and would rather just whine and bitch.
