This will be a thread about Tucker Carlson, centrists, and appropriate response. It will involve some math and estimations. Hold on to your butts.

This argument goes that the protest is disproportionate to what Tucker Carlson does, and this "violence" makes us worse. Because he is a single person, we can conceptualize the act of violence against him. To take Tucker's life is to take away what remaining time he has on Earth.

Tucker Carlson's show averages 2.8million viewers per night. Let's take a very modest assumption that 30% of those viewers watch Tucker's show and then the next day, go make life slightly worse for a single woman/person of color/LBGTQ individual/etc. That's 690,000 people.

Multiple studies have shown that stress shortens a person's lifespan, especially in poor communities and those of color (Tucker's favorite targets). Again, we'll assume a very conservative number and use 1 minute as avoidable stress each one of his watchers causes someone else.

That's 690,000 minutes, or put in easier to understand terms, 479 days worth of life lost to stress. For one night's show.

Tucker Carlson's show has aired 485 times since it started in 2016. Assuming our formula of one minute of stress per 30% of viewers (again, likely *highly* conservative), that's 232,315 days, or approximately 636.5 years of life lost to stress, in aggregate.

What is the appropriate response to someone causing 636.5 years worth of lost life in damage? I believe you can work out the rest of the math from there.
