Authoritarian Right wing populism

There is a problem with Tucker's man of the people shtick:

“But see, I’m an out-of-the-closet elitist,” Carlson said in a 2008 segment. “I don’t run around pretending to be a man of the people; I’m absolutely not a man of the people, at all.” --

--"Carlson joked about growing up in a castle, saying that one thing you learn when you “look out across the moat every day at the hungry peasants in the village” is that “you don’t wanna stoke envy among the proletariat.”

By all measures Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson is a member of the coastal media elite:
In 1979, Carlson's father married divorcee Patricia Caroline Swanson, an heiress to Swanson Enterprises. Swanson is the daughter of Gilbert Carl Swanson and the niece of Senator J. William Fulbright.[4][14] This was the third marriage for Swanson, who legally adopted Carlson and his brother.[12][14]

When Carlson was in first grade, his father moved him and his brother to La Jolla, California and raised them there.[15][16] In La Jolla, Carlson attended La Jolla Country Day School and grew up in a home overlooking the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club.[17] His father owned property in Nevada, Vermont, and islands in Maine and Nova Scotia.[17][3]
Carlson attained his secondary education at St. George's School, a boarding school in Middletown, Rhode Island. He then went to Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut,

False Consciousness- when working class people are tricked into accepting their own exploitation ---happens all the time from the right and neolib left---and it plays perfectly into the hands of corporations

“Under our current system, an American who works for a salary pays about twice the tax rate of someone who’s living off inherited money and doesn’t work at all,” he said. “We tax capital at half of what we tax labor. It’s a sweet deal if you work in finance, as many of our rich people do.”

vs.

When asked on “Bubba the Love Sponge” in 2008 how he pays his bills, Carlson replied that he’s “extraordinarily loaded” just from “inheritance from my number of trust funds.”
“You’re a trust fund baby, are you not?” the host asked. “Oh completely, I’ve never needed to work, yeah,” Carlson said. “I mean it’s all just — the whole cable news thing … it was just like a phase I was going through.”

" you're a millionaire funded by billionaires"---It really gets good at 5:15 when Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson starts throwing an absolute tantrum on his own show---sounds like a kid who attended St. George's School- just east of Newport RI

....Bregman accused Carlson of being "part of the problem" and said Fox News was funded and staffed by the same elite who refuse to discuss raising taxes on the wealthy, Carlson grew increasingly frustrated.

"The vast majority of Americans for years and years now ... including Fox News viewers and including Republicans are in favor of higher taxes on the rich — higher inheritance taxes, higher top marginal tax rates, higher wealth taxes — it's all really mainstream," Bregman said. "But no one's saying that at Davos just as no one's saying that on Fox News. And the explanation for that's quite simple, it's that most of the people in Davos, as well as most of the people on this channel, have been bought by the billionaire class. You're not meant to say these things."

Hell, even the arm waving Lesbian on MSDNC has lost viewers since her fake news show with Trump's tax returns, and the nightly assurances to her audience that Trump would be forced to resign, all blew up in her face. For a while she was giving Hannity a run in the ratings, but not anymore.

Not sure what you are disputing? Where he went to school? That his stepmother was a Swanson heiress?

Here's a piece from the Columbia Journalism Review that was referenced in wiki (but you stick with the daily caller
and zerohedge

Roflmao!....indeed...-- his name is listed between between Prescott Bush and William Vanderbilt FFS.... on St. George's School Profile (2020) | Newport, RI

POPULISM!!!

His father--a media executive, and former CEO of The Corporation for Public Broadcasting.... His old man sure had one thing Right:
--Carlson applied to the CIA, but his application was denied, so he turned to journalism. “You should consider journalism,” his father told him. “They’ll take anybody.”

The mystery of Tucker Carlson

Hes admitted to being a libertarian with a Christian conservative approach, he doesn't like big government or government overreach. He dislikes both parties equally, I've seen him go after Trump and Graham just as much as Pelosi and Biden

I see him most as a true conservative. Most libertarians like the one he quoted just bash Rs and especially Trump but call themselves libertarians so they don’t have to take responsibility for electing people such as Barack Hussein Obama
