The best part of The Root’s comment section is seeing the same handful of greyed commenters posting the same hateful garbage over and over again with the desperate hope that someone will respond and ungrey the comment. Sad!

I'm not being naive. It was more a statement of wishful thinking. He's not going anywhere. As long as there's an audience and ratings, he'll be somewhere shilling those dangerous ideas that you speak of. Also, thanks for acknowledging their danger. There's honestly no other way to look at it. Unfortunately, because…

Tucker Carlson is an heir to Swanson Frozen Foods and hasn’t earned anything or worked a day in his life.

Yes, I find myself chuckling at the halfhearted attempts to brand Biden as a radical leftist. Like his last 50 years of steady public service have been an elaborate ruse to conceal his radical socialist agenda. Although that would be awesome if true. 

Something I learned a while ago that helps make sense of things like this is to understand that there are two different Americas that people talk about.

I’d pay 99.95 on PPV to watch her beat his ass with a sock full of nickels. 

Tucker Carlson is a fucking toad. And given the positions he’s staked out, I think it’s reasonable to wonder if he hates America; Carlson could never love a diverse country.

i want to punch him so hard.

The same thing Trump was doing with his daily tweets about illegal immigrants committing crimes. And I’m over here like, “American citizens commit crimes all day every day! But no one is here categorizing American citizens as criminals.”

Martha McSally is going to be remembered as one of the biggest fails in Senate history. There hasn’t been a Democratic Senator from Arizona in 25 years, until Krysten Sinema beat McSally outright in 2018. Then Doug Ducey tried to make her feel like notaloser by giving her John Kyle’s old seat, and now Mark Kelly is…

“...when Duckworth does speak in public, you’re reminded what a deeply silly and unimpressive person she is...”

BLM is a movement to demand that Black lives matter just as much as anyone else’s. Come on Terry, I’m a White guy from the South and I can see that shit. It’s not about supremacy, it’s about equality.

In that way Don was the perfect one to talk to him. He still ain’t getting another cookout invite until he gets over his respectability politics though.

If there’s anything that 2000, 2004, and 2016 taught me is never to trust the white American voter.

The very fact that we’re even framing it like Lemon interviewing a past self means there’s also still hope for Terry Crews. 

I don’t know that it’s even that complex, and honestly, having dealt with narcissists before? That sounds like standard-issue mental backfilling that accepting the narcissist’s worldview entails. The reason why Trump’s election strategy makes no sense is because, as counterintuitive as it may sound, the first goal of…

NASCAR is standing behind their driver. They haven’t condemned the president’s nonsense as directly as they should have, but they’re definitely supporting Wallace.

What part of what you described justifies pointing a gun at somebody? I know calling the police seems to be part of the problem these days, but in a situation like this in which things have gotten heated, calling the police to mediate may have actually resolved the situation amicably. He, or she, could have gotten out…
