"They (Obama,Susan Rice) understand perfectly well what actually threatens America because they've seen it up close. It's the culture that produced them," Carlson said.
No this wasn't a joke.
"It's the decadent rich people from their class at Harvard."
Tucker Carlson is from the elitist Swanson family
"It's the gender studies party at Cornell. It's the cat cafés in Austin and Asheville. It's the Monday editorial meetings at the Atlantic magazine."
In other words, Carlson and his white-hooded friends along with his FoxQ ingrates are taking the bogus cancel culture meme to its farthest extreme.

(28,751 posts)maybe he knows it.
In order to maintain his ratings at Fox, he has to keep coming up with more and more outrageous claims. He has no real talent or skills other than being an entitled egotistical disruptor. He wants the fame at any cost.

(115,732 posts)They seem to have originated in Japan, where people love cats but can't always have them in small apartments. So cat cafes are a place where people who can't have cats of their own can hang out with them. In US cities they popped up as a combination of coffee shop and cat rescue outlet. You can have a cup of coffee, pet the cats and maybe adopt one. Evidently Tucker regards cat cafes as an example of privileged urban snobbery, which they are certainly not.

(16,296 posts)Us vs. "Them" . It's been their standard method of operation for decades (black vs. white, main culture vs. "hippies", women vs ??, manly people vs. gays, etc., etc., etc.). Tucker is pressing the elitist vs. the common Repuke idiot button on this one.

(11,738 posts)Degeneracy. Fascists like Carlson, believe that there was some perfect time when society was perfect, but that liberalism (openness and acceptance of new ideas) create a degeneracy and rot within society. The "elites" which Carlson and his ilk typically assign to academics, celebrities, and other creative types, have created or at least assisted this degeneracy by making popular these liberal concepts of openness and challenges to "traditional" ways of being.
It is all, ultimately bullshit because there was no "perfect" past, there was no time when Rome, Britain, or America were at their apex. The only thing that is constant in human society is change. We adapt to new information as we move through time. We attempt to correct situations that create poverty, disease, and other maladies for society, but we are not trying to "perfect" anything we are just trying to make life better for everyone.
Carlson decries that effort because it does not comport to his belief that Whites are inherently better than anyone else.

(6,240 posts)take a crack at Fucker. Either he's losing it because he sees his audience slipping away or because he needs attention, or something similar. Same thing for his writers and producers: something is going on.
For somebody who already has a niche and a hell of a paycheck to go off like he has been -- something is happening in his pisspot of a brain. He's trying too hard.
