Re: Religion Randomness
Tucker Carlson is very suddenly embracing and promoting views shared by Christian Nationalists and spiritual-warfare types. In just the past few days he has claimed that he was once physically attacked by a demon (leaving cuts and scars), that the US has long used its military to repress Christians, and (just today) that hurricanes are caused by abortion.
I find it hard to see him actually believing any of this; he's much more of a bullshitter than a true believer. Meanwhile, Elon Musk (who not too long ago was a Dawkins-style atheist-bro) just announced at a Trump rally that he "accepts the teachings of Jesus Christ."
I assume that this all presages a hard turn in overt Christian Nationalism at all levels of MAGA after the election.

Re: Religion Randomness
I refuse to accept that this is sincere.
I think Tucker is mocking the libs with "Can you believe the shit I'm saying now?" while confident that the rubes will buy it. But the latter shows that he thinks this direction is the future of the movement.

Re: Religion Randomness
Incidentally, the "attacked by a demon while I was sleeping" story also includes the detail that he had four dogs in his bed.
How is that not a broad clue thrown out to the skeptics?
I really think Tucker is indulging the privilege of lying and knowing that he can't be called on it.
