Wrapping this brief thread up...listen to Tucker. Sure, he delivers information, but it's inundated in leading questions and fearful, aggressive language. Just those 2 qualities, played on repeat daily...for months? It gets people to betray themselves.....
What's a lesson here?
People make fun of #tuckercarlson for being goofy or mediocre in general...but his fallibility, whether from media training or his natural anxiety; it makes him easier for his audience to connect with.

Truly. Most people, a serious majority, don't care about the facts; regardless of what they say. We are animals, and regardless of the veneer authoritarians put on it, they tend to succeed because they exploit our animal nature that creates behavior.
Cognitive empathy is a skill that can be learned, trained, and practiced. It's a skill that's critical and one we tend to overestimate our skill in. Take some time to think about how others think, it helps create more #empathy
