20. Tucker is promoting a White ethnostate...

He thinks, or at least is getting paid to promote (because it has been reported that he actually holds beliefs not consistent with his on-air persona, which is way worse in my opinion) the idea that the United States has fallen into "degeneracy" (a common term used by Carlson and White Supremacists). Carlson has sided with dictators like Putin and Orban (from Hungary) who push a hard line, right wing, White Supremacist point of view. He thinks, or is paid to promote to his audience, that Russia, Hungary, and other right wing movements are "defenders of Whiteness" now that America has gone woke.

If what is said about him and his real views is accurate, then he is even worse than his persona. To be so craven and driven by money and power that you would promote things against your own beliefs, that to me, is worse than someone who actually believes in something because of ignorance, tradition, etc...
