Tucker Carlson: What exactly are the midterms next Tuesday?
Tucker Carlson: What exactly are the midterms next Tuesday?
At the core of any political campaign is the message, what it is about. What exactly are the partial elections next Tuesday?
Well, on the one hand, it's pretty clear. Donald Trump, who is the leader of the Republican party and, in effect, is only a spokesman, says that a vote for Republican candidates is a vote for secure borders and against crime and chaos. You do not have to believe the president when he says this, but it's definitely what the Republicans are doing.
What are the Democrats doing? That is less clear. They are against Trump, certainly. Democrats talk about the president even more than he talks about himself, which is a lot! They do not like anything. Penalty fee. But to despise someone is not really a platform or a way forward, in the best of cases it is a reaction.
What are the ideas that unite the Democratic Party at this time? For the answer to that, we go to the other cable stations that in recent years have come to work as the DNC did. It is the confidence of the Democratic Party brain and its spokesperson.
If you want to know what the democrats think? See CNN and MSNBC. Wednesday night was especially instructive.
Here are two contributors to MSNBC. One writes for "The New York Times". The other is in Princeton, which is an Ivy League college in New Jersey.
Both have impressive credentials, both are considered deep thinkers by most of the other people in this country who consider themselves intellectuals. Here is how they explained what they have learned since the 2016 elections:
EDDIE GLAUDE, PRINCETON UNIVERSITY; MSNBC ANALYST: What I did wrong in 2016 is overestimate whites. I did not think the whites would put it in the office.
MARA GAY, NEW YORK TIMES EDITORIAL BOARD: I'm not willing to let white voters get out of trouble. I think they, like the rest of us, should be treated as adults and I think there is awareness, that they are good Americans. And I think you have to stop saying, well, I do not like your tweets, but the economy is fine. They need to move from there to reality, we have a white nationalist president who is a threat to American democracy. They are a large number, I would say that most white Americans in this country who are not just Democrats, but are people of conscience, who are good Americans. And I think you have to stop saying, well, I do not like your tweets, but the economy is fine. They need to move from there to reality, we have a white nationalist president who is a threat to American democracy.
Now there was a moment, not long ago, actually, just a few years ago, when this type of text was considered as hatred of textbooks even by the liberal democrats. You were not allowed to blame entire races of people for nothing. You were not even supposed to think about your American compatriots primarily in terms of their race, and the color of the skin is something that no one can control.
To paraphrase a long-time liberal hero whose ideas are now ignored, what matters is the content of a person's character. But not anymore. Now the opposite is true, identity is everything. Here is CNN's Don Lemon on Monday night:
"So, we have to stop demonizing people and realize that the greatest terrorist threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about it. to travel in. There's no prohibition on ... You know, they had a ban on Muslims, there's no ban on whites, so what do we do about it?
"We have to start doing something about it. they, these people of a certain skin color. "That's what Don Lemon said.
Now, before you get too indifferent about that and stop watching your show every night, keep in mind that Don Lemon is a cable news anchor, who is on LIVE television, five hours a week. He is forced to say something indefensible from time to time, everyone does it. In fact, we can answer for having done it ourselves, unfortunately.
But here are the rules. When you say something horrible that you can not defend, do not try to defend it. Apologize. Explain what you wanted to say and move on. I swear to do better. That is a rule for life, not just for television. We all learned it as children. On the left, however, it no longer applies.
This is what Don Lemon said Wednesday night about his comments on Monday:
"I said that the greatest terrorist threat in this country comes from radicals of the extreme right, mainly white men. That angered some people. His analysis shows that for every eight deadly attacks by right-wing extremists, there was one by left extremists. These are the facts. Therefore, people who got angry about what I said are losing the whole point. We do not need to worry about people who are thousands of kilometers away. The biggest threats are homegrown. "
If you did not like what I said, that's your problem. You will notice the lack of contrition when Don Lemon said, we have to start doing something about Americans of a certain skin color.
It turns out that it was not an error, he meant it. He did not apologize because nobody in his world asked him to. They are all saying almost the same thing.
This is now a common opinion in the Democratic Party, it is one of the things in which they are running.
Now, many Americans will not like that message, but the Democrats do not care about that. They do not care what those Americans think. They have given up trying to represent them. - And that's why they fight harder to provide citizenship by birth to foreigners than they fought to protect American citizens from heroin or sink the wages of middle class or technological monopolies that destroy privacy.
They know who their constituents are.
That also explains his sudden sympathy for lawbreakers over everyone else.
You know about the Democrats' demand that the United States ignore its own immigration laws, but it has gone much further.
Elizabeth Warren, who is the Democratic senator from Massachusetts and who is running for president in 2020, has condemned our entire criminal justice system as irremediably racist.
Meanwhile, Hollywood Senate candidate in Texas, Beto O'Rourke, agrees with that. He has called our justice system "the new Jim Crow."
He accused the cops of shooting people according to their skin color. Now, he offered no evidence that the police shoot people just because of the color of their skin. - I did not need it because he only knows it's true.
Meanwhile, Democratic cities across the country have decided that laws against crimes such as shoplifting and public and other urination can not be enforced because that would be racist.
Now the result of all this is inevitable. It is always the same, everywhere. There is more crime. And you are already seeing that in many places.
It turns out that the victims of the crime are not rich and cloistered people like Beto O'Rourke, they are normal people of all races. Crime hurts everyone, but tends to hurt the poor more.
If that happened to the Democrats, they have not mentioned it. They feel good about themselves right now. They know that they are likely to recover the House on Tuesday and feel vindicated, more just than ever.
Today we look for a long time on a commentary on a film that could summarize the democratic worldview, right now, and we found this. It was filmed by a network cameraman covering the president's trip to the synagogue of the Tree of Life in Pittsburgh this week. The protester who shouts at the president is a Presbyterian minister. This is what she said:
"It's not about you, that families are afflicted, this is our neighborhood, you're not welcome here, you do not belong here, this is our neighborhood, we welcome everyone here."
"You are not welcome here, we welcome everyone." Well, that's pretty much the whole Democratic message.
It will work? Maybe on Tuesday, maybe for a little while.
Angela Merkel tested it in Germany. So did the people who until recently managed Brazil, but finally their countries rejected that message.
Voters want you to care theyIt's your country And they will know if you do not care. And in the end they will punish you for that, they always do it.
