1/ I& #39;m already seeing people say we shouldn& #39;t be amplifying Tucker Carlson& #39;s awfulness. I disagree, in the same way I disagreed with complaints about amplifying Trump& #39;s awfulness and stupidity.

Shine a spotlight right on that batshittery. Mock it. Condemn it.

2/ Point out how wrong and hateful and vile and wretched it all is. Don& #39;t give anyone the chance to support it without knowing they too will be called out.

Yes, it increases Carlson& #39;s exposure. Yes, it emboldens some. But those emboldened were gone to begin with.

3/ And you put Carlson in a box from which he can& #39;t escape. There& #39;s no chance of tempering his tone and fooling people. He& #39;s branded, accurately and deservedly, as a hateful doink. He& #39;ll seem larger than he is. And he& #39;ll have no direction to go but deeper into the fever swamps.

4/ That& #39;s where Trump went. That& #39;s where he& #39;s still going, because there& #39;s no path back to the mainstream.

And do you notice how quiet he has become? He lost. We beat him. He may yet wield some power, but it& #39;s garbage power over a losing sect. He& #39;s done. Carlson will follow. END
