I appreciate your generosity, and I want to share it. I’m open to the possibility.
I think it’s far more likely that just as he was on the forefront of the insane right wing unltra-conservative movement when he was on CNN, I think he’s looking a few steps down the road and knows that Trump’s time is coming to an end - either through term limits and/or death from old age and poor health. And possibly effectively sooner if the mid-terms go poorly. So that there’s about to be a massive power vacuum on the right. He’s distancing himself from what is about to be a collapse of the party. He knows it’ll take a couple of years to build up a viable alternative to Trump’s party, so he’s starting those wheels.
No doubt. I’ll pose a question: if we all are so cynical that we can’t allow for a redemption arc, what are we fighting for?
I want us to strive for a ST:TNG reality.
That said, your scenario is more realistic. I am not a tragic optimist; truly, a skeptical pessimistic is a better description. But I will not shut anyone out if they’re honestly contrite.
I don’t know if he is. I’m willing to gamble on it because in this case, we’ve already lost. Whatever the situation, he’s on the right side of the Israeli conundrum. I do think he’s got this country as his priority. Not Israel.
I’m no nationalist; that’s a sick mentality. But I’d rather someone not be Israel first.
Tucker had his chance at redemption when Jon Stewart got Crossfire shut down. Instead he stayed away for a couple years and came back worse than ever but without the bow tie.

Rats from the sinking ship and all that.

I hope I’m not wrong in wanting him to reconcile.
