Diversity Makes Greatness
His M.O. is to spread hatred.
Extreme right wing pundits gain viewership by being provocative, in order to sell advertising.
It is a simple formula. Say things that make people angry, hit them with advertising. It works. Products are sold. Money is made.
Viewers are told that the country is in terrible condition, falling apart, white life is unbearable, doomed, and that liberals are to blame for all of these problems (whether they are actual problems or contrived matters little.)
The overall goal is not to make people angry. That is merely the necessary method used to earn the profits, an unfortunate byproduct of the goal of making lots of money. The most controversial talking heads on the right, such as TC, are all very rich because of it.
Regardless of that, the reality is that there are a lot of very angry people in the USA, and they are angry at liberals. It is impossible for an ordinary liberal to conduct a rational conversation with people like that. Thus, it is pointless to try. Anyone who does generally receives an outburst of vehemence, simply for stating their own view, which they are entitled to in America.
Life is so much nicer without that kind of negative energy.
Extremism should be marginalized, not encouraged. Do not listen to Tucker Carlson. It is a very bad habit.
