JD Vance Said Tucker Is Just A Political Disagreement. Is He Wrong.eergisteren26 min

<p>I jumped on for a bonus live stream because this couldn&#39;t wait. A clip of JD Vance at the RJC is circulating, he&#39;s asked about Tucker Carlson and his answer is that we should be able to remain friends with people we have political disagreements with. I have a problem with that framing. The objections to Tucker are not political disagreements. We&#39;re not arguing about tax rates or military policy. We&#39;re talking about lying, simping for Putin, calling Hamas a political organization, smearing Ben Shapiro as a dual-loyalty Jew who can&#39;t be trusted, Holocaust revisionism, confusing an entire generation about who the good guys are. Those are ethical disagreements. Behavioral disagreements. And framing them as simply political is either deeply confused or a deliberate dodge. I also get into what happens to a movement when it refuses to draw ideological borders, look at what happened to the left and the rise of the DSA. Conservatism means conserving something. You can&#39;t do that while giving cover to the people actively working to destroy it. This one had to come out. I&#39;ll be back for a full episode soon.</p><p>Become an honored guest on Patreon for exclusive content and Q&amp;As, link in the description.
