"Abrupt Change Is Coming": Tucker Carlson Issues Dire Warning For America
As I was drafting yesterday’s post, I was unaware that Tucker Carlson had conveyed the same sentiments in a speech earlier this week. Like my analogy of the man in a rowboat approaching the top of Niagara Falls, Carlson warned, “Abrupt change in coming, and that’s very, very disconcerting.” That’s putting it rather mildly. He continued, “And so, rather than reassure people, that you know, we kind of got your back a little bit, by the way, we’re going to spend a hundred billion dollars on other people” (emphasis in original).
Summing up Carlson’s forebodings, writer Tyler Durden asserts, “Unless there is a significant shift in how America’s leaders approach these glaring issues, the United States might be unrecognizable in the aftermath of the ‘abrupt change’ Carlson is warning about” (emphasis in original). I appreciate the sentiment, but America is already unrecognizable. How can the American citizens effect a shift in the direction of domestic and foreign policy? We live with the illusion of “consent of the governed” but it’s only an illusion. As I discuss in my next post, The Revolution Was.
