Tucker Carlson & The Quest For A Trump Successor

by Shelt Garner

I firmly believe that Trump’s historical purpose is to destroy the American Constitutional order to the point that it either implodes into a pure Russian-style autocracy or we are forced to have a Constitutional Convention to ride the ship of state.

I honestly don’t know which one will happen.

Regardless, Trump isn’t going to live forever. And he’s old. So, someone has to pick up the tyrannical mantle in his name. J.D. Vance currently has the best shot of being that dude…and, yet, Tucker Carlson is lurking in the shadows, ready to pop out.

Carlson is the perfect guy to take over for Trump, I suppose. Though I think he is kind of short. (Of course, given how history works, this could be negated if Democrats nominate a woman or…Jon Stewart.)

Anyway, it definitely will be interesting to see what happens. I still think Trump is going to run for a third term, destroy everything and then we’ll all sit around, scratching our heads as to what we’re supposed to do next. I do think if Trump ran for a third term that that, in itself, would start a civil war /revolution.

Tucker Carlson: The Most Dangerous Man In America (2024 Presidential Cycle Edition)

I can attest that Tucker Carlson has a fucking stranglehold on the minds of the MAGA base. And we know that he hates Trump. As such, Carlson is now a wildcard when it comes to the 2024 presidential cycle.

I say all of this in the context of how bad Tiny-D seems to be flaming out as he attempts to jump on the national stage. So, Carlson 2024 is pretty much a turnkey solution at this point.

All he has to do is announce and he’s at least Trump’s equal in the minds of the MAGA base. And it’s very easy to imagine that the death-by-a-thousand-legal-cuts could finally bring Trump down to the point that someone like Carlson could step in to replace him.

The two men are both cowards and bullies. And remember, Trump is very lazy and very stupid and he serves as nothing more than an avatar for fascists who hate that America is not only browning but women are growing in their economic agency.

So, as such, Tucker wouldn’t have to do anything. He’s got the name recognition, the “brand,” if you will. And there are plenty of people who might see the Tiny-D implosion and glom onto Tucker because they get everything they want from Trump in a younger, more coherent package.

Only time will tell, I suppose.

Is Tucker Carlson Going To Run For President ?

The firing of Tucker Carlson by Fox News has the potential to be far more historic than you might think. The way is cleared for Carlson to run for president in 2024. He apparently hates Trump and what better way to get his revenge than to cockblock Trump’s fascist dreams?

And, yet, Carlson is a coward and a bully — a total chickshit — so it seems possible that he’ll just pop up on NewsMax and that will be that. But the absolute stranglehold that Carlson has on the MAGA base is rivaled only by the big olde orange ding-dong himself Trump.

As such, Carlson has the means, motive and opportunity to run for — and win — the presidency in 2024. Carlson is everything that the MAGA base thought they were going to get with Trump but didn’t get because he’s a lazy idiot. Of course, Carlson doesn’t have any practical governing experience so, lulz, he probably will be a total disaster like Trump, but he’s young enough that he could definitely learn on the job.

Do I think Carlson will run?

Probably not. There’s too much money to be made being a NewsMax talking head. But the next few months could be very…interesting. It’s a least possible that the 2024 election will be far, far more unpredictable and unstable than any of us could have possibly predict.

I’m getting a strong 1860 vibe off of 2024. Though, I have to admit that I’m beginning to think all my hysterical predictions about a civil war are just that — “hysterical doom shit.” I think we’ll just get a Republican POTUS and slip gradually, and peacefully, into a Russian-style autocracy.
