Except here you are taking his point seriously. Which is why the joke isn't actually funny.

He has used, silliness, comedy, sarcasm to dismantle a narrative.

That "narrative" is the internal stability of the USA.

We're trying to de-stabilize Russia to put pressure on Putin.

And Tucker is trying to usher in a Civil War in the USA, while looking completely innocent.

Uncle Joe is not helping very much at all, right now. He goes Clinton Eastwood / John Wayne on some reporter over inflation. The he goes 'Howard Beale' regarding the cost of insulin.

I'm thinking Redd Foxx, Take Me Now Lord.

^^Trump got away with lies after lies and being a loathsome deplorable human being except to his core base. Biden too can get away being himself except for the daily Faux gotcha, at least he is decent and likable to most people. What he needs to do is control the narrative.

Call trump on his Biden stole the election crap directly, enough of this other guy.
Ask Uncle Tom to recuse himself (not that he will) from cases, his wife Ginny is a Trumpkin operative.
Remind Manchin daily that he is not the President.
Light fire under Merrick Garland or ask him to resign.
Call Faux for what they are, liars.

Best if he can do this by 12noon PST January 31st, 2020.

The destabilization of Russia is an ongoing process...Putin or no Putin.
The object is Balkanization.

I think Tucker is operating from the idea that the powerful whites in both parties sold out the working-class whites with whom he believes they had a special contract. What he is particularly blind to is that they sold out workers of every stripe, complexion.

Were I he I'd divide and conquer. I'd call out the liars and their lies by name and I would not be calling it misinformation. I'd ask the public to ask them to explain why they're being lied to. I'd say there are still good Republicans being corrupted by these liars. Right away there'd be Repubs inching away from the lies and liars while the radicals will double down and attack Biden rather than answer for their lies. Biden and the Dems need to stop playing defense, or not engaging at all, and go on the offense.
Just my two-cents worth.

The West does indeed want to keep the Russian Empire from expanding further, but many Russians want Putin to keep on making Russia great again.

The powerful in both our parties sold out American workers of every stripe and complexion. Fox News has a pale Christian focus and a large viewership..

Just wondering whether this wall to wall Russia invasion noise is a ploy to keep inflation out of the headlines.

Zelensky openly complains about the western media and finds himself at odds with the Biden admin.

He Zelensky should be careful...should be more diplomatic.

Like I said, you are taking him seriously.

My version of the narrative: Putin is threatening war, and anyone who does that needs to be stopped. Dismantle that?
