You don't know what fun is, or what entertainment is, until you've lived in a swing state in this election cycle. Constant advertisements, text messages, and emails from both parties, and a mailbox constantly stuffed with agitprop. Not to mention non-stop rallies and events and the attendant traffic congestion, especially as a candidate is coming from or heading toward the airport.
And then you learn that at a Turnip rally here in Georgia on Tuesday, Tucker Carlson said Agent Orange is going to give America a “vigorous spanking,” and that he said it in the creepiest way possible.
He said that under Democratic leadership, the country is like a “hormone-addled 15-year-old daughter” who gives her parents the finger and slams her bedroom door. Trump, in his metaphor, is the strict, disciplinarian father.
“When Dad gets home, you know what he says?, Tucker asked. "You’ve been a bad girl, you’ve been a bad little girl, and you’re getting a vigorous spanking right now. And no, it’s not going to hurt me more than it hurts you. No, it’s not. I’m not going to lie. This is going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me. And you earned this. You’re getting a vigorous spanking because you’ve been a bad girl.”
He told the crowd that they shouldn't accept the election results if Harris wins. “At the end of all of that, when they tell you they’ve won, no!” he said. “You can look them straight in the face and say: ‘I’m sorry, Dad’s home, and he’s pissed.’”
For the record, research has found that over the long term, spanking leads to anti-social behavior, mental illnesses, and anxiety later in life, which pretty mush describes a lot of Republican politicians and their MAGA followers.
Perhaps realizing what a creep he was being, Carlson tried to deflect the label and called Liz Cheney “Dick Cheney’s creepy little daughter.” He also described Democrats as “the party of weak men and unhappy women, one of which leads to the other, by the way.”
Freud would have a field day with Carlson.
