Tucker Carlson says Biden and Harris want Americans 'drinking Starbucks every day from now

until forever' in a baseless monologue about uniformity

Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson accused President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris of promoting "total uniformity," saying that life under their administration would be like "drinking Starbucks every day from now until forever."

During a segment of the Tucker Carlson Tonight show on Friday, the Fox News host claimed that the Biden administration "demands obedience" and doesn't "believe in dissent." He cited no evidence to substantiate the claim.

"Diversity, which is to say legitimate differences between people, is the last thing they want. Diversity? It's a cruel joke. They must mean it ironically. These people seek absolute sameness, total uniformity," Tucker said.

He explained what he imagines life under the Biden administration would look like, using Starbucks as a comparison.

Need some of this Tucker? Joe strikes me more as a Dunkin Donuts kind of guy.

You all want a world in which everyone looks, acts and thinks the exact same way.

When will it be clear to everyone that Carlson is NOT news or even serious really? Taking it as such only makes for more confusion and tends to legitimize his fantasies. That blurs the line between facts and fiction.

He tells stories and weaves fantastic fairy tales. He is infotainment at its worst.

His ability to make things up is very similar to the Orange Garbage we just tossed. That's why you hear some people saying he could be the next republican hopeful for president. That should tell us how far they want to go with fictitious propaganda.

Guess what, this Biden voter has never had a drink from Starbucks. My crazy right wing brother in-law always went to Starbucks and got coffee on his way to work.

I will never understand — he’s the heir to the Swanson’s frozen food empire, his father was big on the telly (and he worked for “evil libs!), he was born and grew up in evil California, attended elite private schools (though he never finished college), he spent years on cnn wearing a bow tie...why the Trumpers buy his “man of the people” bs is just soooooo weird.

I am, sad to say, a Starbucks junkie, though it's now become too expensive for anything but an occasional treat.

As to Tucker Carlson, I have to suspect that, without Trump in the White House, his days as an air personality are numbered.

"So that makes our conformity the biggest non-conformity of all, if you don't think about it! And isn't that really the deepest thinking of all? You can't have something unless there's also nothing!"

Although, if President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Harris give me a 4 year supply of the stuff, I'll be more than happy to drink it all the time.

The Democrats seek uniformity? That's the GOP in a nutshell, you fuckwit. The Democratic Party is the "Big Tent" Party, but you already knew that, you sleazy, blithering twerp.

Can't cite what doesn't exist.

One of the top things-to-get-done on our agenda should be the restoration of (a) Fairness Doctrine in media.
