        TFW when you see a rich asshole making stray empty gestures to "economic populism" amidst a steady stream of racist invective and it makes you think not of George Wallace but Frederick Douglass

        "Tucker Carlson understands this cultural moment. He recently showed his working class solidarity by playing Kenny G. while arguing that comic books sold out when they started to be written by and for women"

        It's just amazing how Trump retaining the enthusiastic support of his base by delivering the racism he promised alongside Paul Ryan's economic agenda has not disrupted the "economic anxiety" narrative among the faction of left that hates liberals more than Trump *or* Ryan at all

        Trump and Tucker Carlson have made the Republican Party economically populist, also Elizabeth Warren is a neoliberal because she has too much support from people with college degrees

        Anyway, to state the obvious, if Tucker's isolated, meaningless gestures at "economic populism" had any effect on the Republican Party at all, they wouldn't be featured on Rupert Murdoch's cable news network

        I will stop trying to respond to individual comments, but to state the obvious the issue here isn't that she doesn't see Tucker's racism, it's that she seriously thinks that American conservatism has been "adjusted" to be more economically populisthttp://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2020/01/dreaming-of-a-marriage-of-brown-and-red …

        I mean, not only did George W. Bush talk about "compassionate conservatism" a lot, he actually signed a (admittedly very corporate pork laden) Medicare expansion! The idea that Tucker and Trump have transformed the Bush/Gingrich era GOP is just bizarrely ahistorical nonsense

        To the extent that Trump-era Republicans have made "adjustments," it's that they've become even more racist to cover up the fact that they've moved even further to the right on economic policy than they were 20 years ago.

        Also, contrary to the idea that Trump demonstrated his "economic populism" by saying we should stay out of "costly" military adventures, the ACTUAL Donald Trump called for increased defense spending as a candidate and followed through: https://www.cnn.com/2016/09/06/politics/donald-trump-defense-spending-sequester/index.html …

        "We need to stop military adventurism to allocate resources elsewhere" is just not at all what Trump was saying, but it's telling if that's what you heardpic.twitter.com/xD2dg3Gi0T

        Although, of course, everyone knows that military spending ACTUALLY increased because Elizabeth Warren didn't cast a symbolic vote against it, forcing Trump to abandon his populist and dovish agenda
