Reid: Tucker Carlson, the ‘Avatar of the Manly Man’ Is Turning Masculinity as a Conservative Rallying Cry

EXCERPT:

REID: “Meanwhile, last night, old Tuckums, who, let's face it, is the literal avatar of the manly man — okay, I'm just joking, he’s literally the opposite — seemed to take it all to heart, arguing that strong leaders, the kind without any maternal instinct, he says, are under attack."

CARLSON: "Creative masculine energy is the essential quality in any civilization. It’s how we got civilization in the first place. But increasingly, boisterous masculinity is systematically suppressed to make way for a timid caretaker class, for people who think the whole point of society is to get to zero Covid infections or eliminate all traffic deaths."

REID: "Yes, yes, baby man Tuckums, not giving a crap about your fellow humans and making sure that government leaves them to suffer and die turns you into the Incredible Hulk. Can I stop rolling my eyes now? Like, they're starting to hurt. And so the warped conservative obsession with their own version of masculinity is, well, it’s tonight’s absolute worst.”
