Yeah, who do I believe? Mother Tucker and his cherry picked footage, or my lying eyes? Guess I didn't see what I saw. What a moron (but the Trumplodytes will eat it up)! It will be interesting to see if one of the officers doesn't sue him like Alex Jones (Sandy Hook denier). Love to be on that jury.

republicans are like fat land bound sharks...they can still smell blood in the water, and want to stay away from carlson as he thrashes before sinking below the waves...mccarthy just helped him sink himself with that footage.
Listen to their story as part of a jury and then convict them of their crimes...
Prosecutors are paid to listen to their stories.
I would counter that anyone who supported trump at any time was comfortable supporting a misogynistic, openly racist and xenophobic, lying sexual abuser, pos.
I was as surprised as anyone that Trump got elected. But I believe that some of the folks who were manipulated into thinking they were getting something better, newer, and shinier than the "old guard" of politicians via Fox BS should be allowed to express why they thought to vote for him in the first place. Ditto for people believing Fox and OEN or whatever dumbass news company they view. Maybe their own personal situation in life is a reflection on how easily they've been led astray by certain propaganda networks. There has to be room to lend a compassionate ear to some people to say their piece. Even if it doesn't align with your own feelings and thoughts.
Sometimes it's a tough call with friends and family, but a line has to be drawn somewhere. The delusions and self-inflicted lies these people trade in are dangerous, as we have seen with covid, J6 and now Russia. What can one say when they continue to watch Tucker who lies, has utter contempt for them and disrespects them more than someone with the moral courage to tell them to their faces, all the pain and its infliction belongs to them if they can't handle the truth. BTW that should be fox's motto: "Because you can't handle the truth"!
Maybe when they cut the bullshit, make sense and stop with the terrorism, people will actually listen to them, when they have something to say. Right now, they spout about "woke", but can't even define it, they speak of "freedom" but attack liberals, another word they don't know the meaning of. They apparently believe in one man rule and that man is Donald Trump, who is somehow supposed to be above the law because he is perfect in every way. Those are just a few of the problems but it makes the point.
While I agree with you on the hard core MAGA types, my point was more towards the people that followed this BS and have possibly rethought their ideas. Unfortunately, it gets that much harder when you're online and being completely bombarded with disinformation and hidden agendas.
I don’t have a problem with anyone speaking their mind, in fact I promote it. I’m always grateful when people show who they really are.
White supremacists? How did you jump to that conclusion? I'm talking about Fox news, election denial, and allowing people to speak their mind on why they followed that nonsense.
They followed that nonsense because they love trump and wanted him to win. trump is an admitted sexual abuser and obvious racist. If they support someone who is an admitted sexual abuser and an obvious racist they are ok with some pretty fucked up behaviour.
I simply don't think the way you do. Particularly about race. Doesn't even enter the equation for me. Is it your take that everybody who is an election denier is also a racist or bigot of some sort?
Ok most
Hang on for a moment and listen to somebody who lives in the US. I've been at the Portland Oregon antifascist demonstrations when Proud Boys showed up and caused a riot. I've seen it first hand. We were a peaceful crowd. Men, women, some in wheelchairs, some in clown costumes, even a band. All we did was stand in front of people who wanted to march in the streets of Portland waving Nazi and white supremacist flags. And they moved in with clubs. There is no compromise with that group. They are authoritarian fascist followers. Trump is their guy. He told them to stand by just before the 2020 election.
