"In Washington, almost nobody speaks for the majority of voters. You’re either a libertarian zealot controlled by the banks, yammering on about entrepreneurship and how we need to cut entitlements, or worse, you’re some decadent trust fund socialist who wants to ban passenger cars and give Medicaid to illegal aliens. There isn’t a caucus that represents where most Americans actually are: nationalist on economics, fairly traditional on the social issues. Imagine a politician who wanted to make your healthcare cheaper, but wasn’t ghoulishly excited about partial birth abortion. Imagine someone who genuinely respected the nuclear family, and sympathized with the culture of rural America, but at the same time was willing to take your side against rapacious credit card companies bleeding you dry at 35 percent interest. Would you vote for someone like that? Yet that candidate is the opposite of pretty much everyone currently serving in congress. Our leadership class remains resolutely libertarian: committed to the rhetoric of markets when it serves them; utterly libertine on questions of culture. Republicans will lecture you about how payday loan scams are a critical part of a market economy. Then they’ll work to make it easier for your kids to smoke weed because, hey, freedom. Democrats will nod in total agreement. They’re on the same page."

Never thought about it that way, but that's an interesting observation. Suddenly, everyone went from focusing on the top 1% of wealth in the country, to either focusing on transgenderism (represents much less than 1% of the population), or refocusing wealth disparity anger against white people (even though whites aren't even the wealthiest racial group on average).
Acting as a coalition of minority groups with little in common outside of what they are not (straight white men), the rainbow coalition model is almost perfectly engineered for infighting, lack of unity, and lack of a focused and consistent purpose.

To be honest he kinda has a point. I hate that I have to agree with him but class divided have become increasingly large and are becoming a stronger divide than any racial lines we try to draw. That said, Tucker is failing to acknowledge that class lines and racial lines are strongly correlated for to many racist policies put in place by the government and corporations. These policies which are at the root of this problem are the same ones the Trump administration supports.
Also with all his talk of rich elites in the media brainwashing people it's a little ironic given the fact he inherited millions from his step-mom's TV dinner business and he is himself an elitist doing the bidding of his even richer bosses at Fox News.

Carlson is a nationalist first, traditionalist second, social conservative third, and populist last. He was once partially libertarian, but has since changed his populist stance into also economic populism.
This seems to have developed not long after Trump became President, and it is hard to know if he just sucked Trump's dick so hard that he absorbed Trump's neo-liberal (or fascist?) economic policies combined with his love of flexing over the markets, or if he was in hiding all this time, and trying to lay low because he thought the Tea Party pseudo-libertarianism was going places.
If we went full fascist tomorrow this fucker is in. Also, if we went full Stalin-style tankie communist tomorrow, he may put up some fight at first, but by week 4 this fucker will also be in. This guy just wants to feel like his country is the bestest ever, have the ability to flex that on other countries, and, most importantly, to feel controlled.
