A TAD SHORT ON SELF-AWARENESS, EH:

I shudder whenever I see Tucker Carlson trending in the news. Not because I think he's a fascist or white supremacist, but because I once held him up as the harbinger of a new kind of politics. It wasn't too long ago that Tucker's show featured pointed critiques of free market fundamentalism, the neoliberal consensus, and the general stupidity of Bush-era conservatism. And though he was always prone to rhetorical excess in his coverage of immigration, for instance, I felt he stood for the fundamentally sound principle that sovereignty entailed having ultimate control over one's borders.
