"Tucker Carlson's "beat the opinion out of your daughter,

tell her it’s her fault, vote her rights away, and stage a coup” speech just summed up the world that MAGA wants to live in. Now I see why his daughters are registered Democrats.” - Karley Kingsley

https://ca.news.yahoo.com/tucker-carlson-roasted-bizarre-speech-152541705.html

This effed up speech he gave has been disturbing me all morning. Every decent man and woman need to rise up and vote. This is extremely disturbing. This is not acceptable and not who we are. Disgusting.

The damage that this weasel has done to our country. I cannot think of a strong enough punishment for these traitors

The problem is increasingly becoming obvious to me.

As much as I would like to believe otherwise, the fact that Trump is not down by 30 points and looking at a Mondale '84 level stomping and that Tucker is somehow beloved by MILLIONS and able to spew such imbecilic tripe without being roundly tar and feathered simply demand the conclusion that, yes, this IS EXACTLY WHO MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE!

Hateful.
Ignorant.
Vengeance seeking.
Knowledge and Truth allergic.

I developed a sensitization to tetracycline and its analogues years ago. I had been repeatedly misdiagnosed for an eye condition that resembled pink eye but was in fact an allergic response. Over the course of a year, I was written 9 different prescriptions for eye drops containing various amounts of tetracycline. In the end, the allergan was identified, but not before I developed a sensitization to tetracycline that will forever haunt me. My body has become allergic to it in such a degree that additional exposures began to exhibit exponentially worse reactions in me. At the end, even a small brush with tetracycline caused me to break out in hives, and my eyes to swell shut.

America has become sensitized to and by bullshit. Our collective defenses are destroyed and MILLIONS of Americans - who may not actually be bigots and imbeciles - are actually behaving EXACTLY like bigots and imbeciles. I do not know if this can be reveresed - its been literally 20 years since I have had ANY contact with tetracycline, but I can tell you this, without a guarantee that it would not produce the same (or worse) effect on me now, years later...I simply won't risk it.

The only "cure" for what America has become come - TOTAL AND COMPLETE ABSTENIENCE from media that amplifies and extends lies to boost ratings and sell more shit to people that they do not actually need, but the patient named "John Q. Public, Unites States of America" is NEVER going to accept that verdict. WE are caught in a hopeless negative feedback loop and circling the drain as a result.

Even if we do squeak out a win in 12 days, we have to face the reality that 40+% of this nation is in desperate need of medical intervention level deprogramming and desensitization, and even then, many millions will NEVER recover. I only wish this was an over-reaction or too hot take. Sadly, my life's experience flies in the face of such a conclusion...

The damage this entire MAGA movement has done, here, and around the world in similar movements, is going to have long lasting, harmful impacts. I completely agree with you on that. But I have to believe that we are going to rise up and defeat this. I have to believe we outnumber them. I don't trust the polls or many journalists at this point. Way too much money from creepy billionaires and powers are attempting to influence not only the election, but minds. Most of us are aware of what is happening. We've seen in happen before at other times in history.

I'm so very sorry that a misdiagnosis has caused lifetime issues for you.

Again, thank you for your post. I appreciate it.

I'm serious. He exactly fits the profile of a guy who goes off the deep end in his 50s and neither his wife nor kids can stand him anymore. Bookmark this. Less than a year in my estimation.

The only person he could conceivably beat is a girl. Sorry, sick bastard.
