       https://www.vox.com/2019/1/10/18171912/tucker-carlson-fox-news-populism-conservatism-trump-gopI'm normally kind of skeptical of Vox, and even MORE skeptical of Tucker Coulson, but this is fucking fascinating.It's like the talking points of the mid 2010's, Occupy Wall St, and Bernie Sanders / Elizabeth Warren are now flowing from the left to the right? Suddenly talking heads on the right care about income inequality?To quote my favorite Beck song: "My mouth is full of sand, and I don't understand"

       @r00t Yeah, I've grown to dislike populism quite a bit. That said, it's extremely interesting to see conservative hosts suddenly acknowledge that some parts of American Capitalism are kind of fucked. This is two years into Trump's America, where many of those same talking heads doubled down on supporting a lot of the uglier parts of right-wing talking points.

       @sean they keep picking at his "the elites" but he's right. There is a global wealth class.
