Anyone else find it weird that Tucker Carlson has been a host on Fox for ten years and no one gave a fuck about him until last year when he started advocating economic views outside of the neoliberal consensus and then suddenly he's the paradigm expression of white nationalism?

I suppose everyone recognizes that the actually-existing Democratic party doesn't have an answer to his economic rhetoric and for some the answer is to try to put the genie back in the bottle rather than embracing a Sanders-style message
Not just the democratic party. Huge swaths of the ostensible left have no answer.

Many leftists want open borders and global wage parity because that's the only moral future they can imagine. It bothers them when rightists point out that this makes the working class poorer overall, because they were hoping nobody would notice.

I agree to the extent that open borders is an incoherent position driven by moral values, but by the same token, it’s not ipso facto true that more immigration wd be bad for normal ppl in the economy — most economists (imperfect measure, I know) find the opposite
