It's like that time I had a crushing toothache and my dentist ruthlessly seized so much power that he drilled into my teeth!!! And I was such a sheep that I just let him do it. Never gonna make that mistake again, I'll tell ya. https://twitter.com/GoAngelo/status/1245869507031121921
Also reminds me of the time I had that really complicated problem I had to work out with the IRS and an accountant demanded to see all of my financial records and then resolved the issue. SUCH POWER GRABS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN, I tell ya.
Gawd, Tucker just has me so riled up with populist rage right now! I just remembered that time a loved one got meningitis and the doctors stuck a needle in her spine, forced a tube down her throat, and pumped her full of medicine. Freaking monsters! I won't get fooled again!
Back in the late 1960s the Cuyahoga river used to catch on fire with some regularity and I thought it was quite a beautiful thing. But then some experts staged a power grab and created regulations that stopped the river from catching on fire. NO MORE POWER GRABS, I say!
I'm old enough to remember in the 1970s when the vicious "experts" in the seatbelt lobby staged a power grab and forced us all to start wearing seatbelts, and then car accident deaths decreased significantly, forcing us to continue to live with people who didn't needlessly die.
And then there was that power grab when so-called "experts" insisted on spreading the news that smoking causes cancer & then people were forced to take that information into consideration when they smoked & lots of people decided they'd rather live than give $$$ to Philip Morris.
Frozen food heir Tucker Carlson has been a toxic force in our political culture for years now. That language of "expert power grabs" has been standard right wing messaging since 1933. It's so lazy, unoriginal, & boring. But it puts money in Tucker's pockets, so what does he care?
Here's a longer thread explaining why there is nothing even remotely redeemable about this cynical, trust fund opportunist passing himself off as a "man of the people." https://twitter.com/SethCotlar/status/1206255696544555008?s=20
