I have never once watched Tucker Carlson's show in my life. Nor do I watch Fox News. Why must you assume everyone who does not agree with you is right wing?

Sorry for assuming someone who fearmongers and parrots right-wing talking points to be right-wing. Ye olde 'enlightened centrist both sides are bad' position is problematic due to false equivalence- by saying both sides are equally bad and misguided, in actuality you align yourself closer toward the side that is objectively worse (and if I have to explain to you which is objectively worse and why, well then I'm not sure there really is any point at all to continuing this conversation).

I know you're being provocative and I shouldn't take the bait but I just can't help myself.
>"by saying both sides are equally bad and misguided..."
I never actually said that. I said that people can be concerned "regardless of political affiliation."
>"someone who fearmongers"
Yep. You got me. I'm concerned about something and I think other people should be too.
All I can say is that you should be less combative and you shouldn't snap to assuming hostile intent. Quite frankly it's off-putting and anti-persuasive. You would not enjoy someone arguing with you in the same way you argue with them. But I suppose if you enjoy interacting with others in this way there's no stopping you.

Notice how little the clown you're attempting to converse with was downvoted.
He holds the majority, safe, and riskless opinion.
Which will make it even better when we hijack all the censorship infrastructure and apply it to him :)
