Tucker Carlson's greatest fear

[demmiblue]

The Fox News star is afraid of a lot of things — CRT, immigrants, vaccine mandates — but lately it’s become clearer what his greatest source of terror is.

Fox News star Tucker Carlson is the right’s avatar of grievance, the conductor of its orchestral whine about America’s tumble into cultural decadence, its principal hero in a fairy-tale battle against the dark magic of the Very Woke. There has been talk about him running for president, but that would be a demotion from where he is now, widely recognized as “the most powerful conservative in America.”

And yet, he’s also a wimp. He is afraid of a lot of things — CRT, immigrants, vaccine mandates — but lately it’s become clearer what his greatest source of terror is: women in power.

Unlike Carlson's other phobias, I think this one is rooted in reality. Critical race theory remains an opaque legal philosophy and not an instruction manual for K-12 students; immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than those born here; and vaccine mandates save lives. But women with agency? We threaten his whole world.

Just a few days ago, Carlson admitted it plainly: “In my mind, the archetype of the person that I don’t like is a 38-year-old female white lawyer with a barren personal life.” (Gosh, I wonder how that word “barren” got in there.)

1. I've noticed that they ALL fall. Not quickly enough, but eventually, they all fall from grace.

O'Reilly being the best example, but there are many others.
I can't wait for TC to fall on his face and be escorted from the room.

2. The irrational little dickhead. I hope I'm around when he gets his comeuppance.

[SheltieLover]

3. I think Stacey Abrams, Maxine Waters, Eliz Warren, & Katie Porter are great examples

[vanlassie]

4. He should be afraid. If he thinks the 38 year olds are scary, the 28 year olds

are pissed, and they have no fear.

[viva la]

5. Maybe if he tans his testicles more...

He'll be less terrified when he sees a strong woman.

6. The man giggles like a girl

7. Or a psychopath.

8. Tuckems is irritating on a good day.

"I'm just asking questions..." is code for "now you can't sue me for libel."

9. His whole life is based on anger at his mother

His family should have had him in counseling decades ago

[Haggard Celine]

13. Yes, I think so too.

He's a twisted motherfucker. I wonder how they broke the news to him that his mother was leaving so she could go be a bohemian. I wonder if his mom said bye to him and I wonder what adults said to him about his mother. Some people think that it's easy being in a wealthy family, but they often have disturbing problems. I'm not very sympathetic towards him because of all the grief he's causing now; I'm just acknowledging the fact that this monster was likely created by his family. Sometimes he looks like he's barely holding it together. He needs help, but I doubt he would take the help if it was offered it.

10. I've begun to refer to him as Tucker "Mommy Issues" Carlson

The little shit needs to have his privileges revoked.

[ShepKat]

11. he hates his mother

This is what it looks like

[irisblue]

12. From the op-ed

snip-"But look at the deep truth in Carlson’s vision: Women with authority are increasingly unafraid to use their power."

snip-"But ultimately, women having control over their own bodies does shift the power paradigm. And that’s what scares Tucker Carlson — and people like him."

[H2O Man]

14. Recommended.

[Wounded Bear]

15. In other words, he's "W-I-P-ped"...

People do tend to telegraph their greatest fears by what they attack most vociferously.

16. Didn't his mother abandon him at age 6?

Not sure if that is true, but it would explain so much. Only too glad to tell him, back in the bad ole good ole days when even wealthy women had little, if any, agency over their lives shit happened. Lots of shit. And just like the United States being born from the abuse of power of Kings and Popes, women's sufferage was born of that same abuse of power. Suck it Little Lord Fauntleroy.

17. This story about her explains a lot, IMHO:

19. Perhaps some twitter person should, like Devin Nunes' Cow, be called Tucker Carlson's Mother.

That might irritate him a bit.

[spooky3]

20. Good idea! Nt

[2Gingersnaps]

25. Thanks for the article..

Verified what my impression of him has always been; a shallow, entitled, priveleged, wise ass, mediocrity in it for the money and attention.

[Ford_Prefect]

18. I strongly suspect that Tucker is also afraid he's tied up in the Jan 6th conspiracy

to the extent that he's legally culpable.

[leftyladyfrommo]

21. Those white women doing men's work are just

scarier than shit.

What is a barren social life? They don't want anything to do with jerks?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

22. Women, you know who you are. Surround him.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

23. tucker is afraid of strong women

[Initech]

24. He doesn't want a well informed populace that is capable of critical thinking.

That's bad for the GOP, don't you know?
