Longtime conservative commentator Tucker Carlson said on a podcast that “there’s no chance I would support the Republican Party” ahead of the November midterm elections, dismissing the political affiliation he’s defended as a pundit for decades, including as one of Fox News Channel’s most popular hosts.
Is there any chance that the Republican party will shift away from MAGA and toward Tucker?
Probably. IME the average low info conservative voter blindly trusts their favorite propagandists, so I think it’s very meaningful and good when those propagandists try to jump off the sinking ship. Not in the sense that I suddenly trust them or think they’re good people, but I’m also not so high on my own moral purity that I’m going to reject it or pretend it doesn’t benefit me and my worldview.
