Der Postmeister Postmaster General

Donald Trump had a problem. A problem called “democracy.” See, he LIKED being President, (well, not the work part, but definitely charging the Secret Service to pee) but those rat-bastard Founding Fathers built all these dumb ol’ “elections” into their dumb ol’ “Constitution,” and smack dab in the middle of an economy you personally wrecked and a pandemic you disastrously mismanaged is nobody’s idea of a great time for a performance review.

Devin “Pigfucker” Nunes was an early adopter of Donald Trump’s unique blend of authoritarianism and kakistocracy, and it’s not hard to understand why; it takes a whole lotta institutional white supremacy to keep men so maliciously mediocre in positions of power.

There is no greater proof that the Republican base has no goddamn sense than Mitch McConnell’s consistently dismal approval rating from voters of his own party; the man is absolute ghoul, yes, and certainly he projects little folksy warmth, but he puts Ws on the board. Big ones. More than anybody I’ve ever seen.

Take an unusually weak mind, surgically remove evolution’s hard-won capacity to tell fact from fiction, fill the empty spaces with hate, and you’ve got Marjorie Taylor Greene. Drop that mind in the middle of the I-know-we’re-not-supposed-to-dismiss-MAGA-whites-as-racist-hillbillies-but-COME-ON shithole known as the Georgia 14th, and you’ve got the dumbest, most malicious member of the United States Congress, and ascendant American fascism’s loudest, vilest mouth.

William Barr actually taught me a valuable lesson. See, I didn’t look too closely at Bill when he was nominated to be Attorney General. After Jeff “Too Racist for the 80’s” Sessions and the masculine toilet guy, honestly, he looked like a nice, refreshing, safe, traditional Republican. An institutionalist who could bring a little much-needed stability.

And then he turned out to be a fascist, and one of the most dangerous enemies of democracy in American history. Whoops. My bad.

As seen in the famed documentary RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, when the Ark of the Covenant was opened on an uncharted island north of Crete, the burning light that issued thereof reduced the Nazi soldiers present to piles of ash and molten flesh. In time, the rains washed the fascist bio-goo into the island’s sewage system, where it mixed with the shit and piss and used tampons and such, and in time it congealed, took the shape of a man (albeit an unattractive one), slapped on a pair of glasses, and Sebastian Gorka was formed.

ATLAS CRAPPED

Speaker of the House

Paul Ryan was cloned from a single pubic hair plucked from Ayn Rand post-coitus and grown in a still in Charles Koch’s back yard.

To level with y’all up front, I think Tucker Carlson is the most dangerous man in America. He’s the mouth of American fascism, and Donald Trump’s unofficial Chief Disinformation Dispenser, and, ultimately, a manufacturer of brownshirts.

In hindsight, it was probably inevitable that some evil-minded scumbag or other would see the potential for mass radicalization in Rupert Murdoch’s odious propaganda-distributing apparatus, which heretofore had been deployed primarily in service to the 1% and their dependents, grab hold of it, and turn that shit up to 11.

Well, I dunno how that turned out in the reality where Andrew Garfield is Spider-Man, but in this one, we got stuck with a soft, subpar, rich boy, who rode a wave of inherited frozen fish money all the way to prime time on Fox “News,” and the most-watched show on cable, which he runs essentially as an indoctrination camp, beamed directly into millions of American living rooms.

Now, as much fun as it always is getting bogged down squabbling over whatever bad-faith justifications are offered to excuse his latest Hitlery outburst, I feel like you and I can cut through the crap, acknowledge the mountain of evidence we’ve gathered with our own damn senses, and admit that Tucker Carlson is in the stochastic terrorism business.

We were all used to Fox keeping Th’Base in a constant state of frothing rage over tan suits and holiday greetings and what have you, but then along came Gameshow Göring, who showed the world there is no lie too big, or too weird for people that want to be lied to. And now we share a country with deranged lunatics who self-medicate with livestock dewormer while awaiting the perpetually-delayed second coming of John F. Kennedy Jr.

Where the trouble comes in is, as the old saying goes, those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities, and so many of the most loathesome remoras that clamped onto Tangerine Idi Amin’s ass did so precisely because they’d always wanted to make people commit atrocities, Guys like Bannon. Stephen Miller. And Carlson.

But Tucker’s the one who understands a brain isn’t necessarily going to wash itself, and so his weeknightly White Power Hour functions as Nazi night school. Encumbered by neither honesty nor decency, he belches up, in the broad light of day, the most abominable shit; stuff that, until recently, you wouldn’t hear outside of a Stormfront message board, or a Klan meeting. White replacement theory. Dehumanizing immigrants. Pimping white nationalist dictator Viktor Orbán. That sort of trash. And the whole thing is presented to the audience as “the news.”

Tucker Carlson is an anti-Semite. An Islamophobe. A homophobe. A transphobe. A misogynist. A racist, of course. And in not one of these fields is he a mere dabbler. Just a one-man volcano of pure hate.

And his job, as he sees it, is to drive his viewers insane with that same hate, to guide them away from reality, to lie and lie and lie to them until a few of them snap, only a few, but more all the time; snap and commit acts of violence targeting the enemies he’s so gleefully offered up to them. Stochastic terrorism. To make people believe absurdities, in order to get them to commit atrocities. What abject madness that he is allowed a platform on television.

Of course, advertiser boycotts have left Tucker Carlson Tonight so devoid of sponsors, commercial breaks typically feature recitations of the poetry Mike Lindell writes in his spare time, but Rupert clearly isn’t after profit here.

How does this skeevy weasel pull off the Face in the Crowd bit with such an unusually punchable face, is what I wanna know. The weakest chin in seven galaxies, a laugh like somebody crossbred some third-rate celebrity’s Pomeranian with Gilbert Gottfried…just an inescapably unimpressive man.

Perhaps it’s his very mediocrity that make the shtick work: certainly the target audience can have no difficulty believing Tucker Carlson understands the plight of the loser white boy who feels entitled to things he hasn’t earned.
