      Jeet Heer Retweeted Justin Baragona

      I agree with Carlson that Michael Tracey is worth reading (on Twitter and in articles). Oddly, Michael, from his perch as a putative former Sanders supporter, often makes arguments for Trump that are more effective & sharp than those of ostensible rightwingers.https://twitter.com/justinbaragona/status/1100930020019720195 …

      Honestly, saying that Tracey does a better job of arguing for Trump than most Trump supporters is a pretty back-handed compliment.

      But...that’s if you accept that he was really a lefty or Bernie supporter or whatever which he clearly never was.

      He was a chin-scratching contrarian. Then he didn’t so much back Bernie as traffic in DNC nomination rigging conspiracies. Then he went from a few thousand followers to tens of thousands.

      darker/sadder than “contrarian.”

      People who act like that and attract followers like that should not be excused or deemed interesting

      there's no excusing such people but Tucker Carlson's attempt to build alliances with putative leftists (Greenwald, Nagle, Gabbard, Tracey) is significant and worth paying attention to. I think it's one direction post-Trump right-wing populism will go.

      Carlson's making much more of an outreach to this group than anyone else in GOP (leaving aside Trump's 2016 cultivation of Wikileaks).

          I think you fundamentally misunderstand Carlson’s motives. It’s not about outreach, it’s about straw men.

          Exactly. And it’s about using the “left” to beat up on Dems. He’s doing the bidding of Trump. Folks falling for this as real is worrisome.

          He's just chasing a recruitment trail already blazed by the Daily Stormer. Racist white leftists are susceptible to mobilization as racists, a commitment which quickly attenuates their leftism.

          Cmon. It's obvious why Tucker's doing this. It's not genuine. It's just to help sow discord.

          Why does that matter when he's still a piece of shit? You know his motives are deceitful & evil & he's only appealing to the worst aspects of "this groups" nature.
