Tucker Carlson is one of the more competent fascists. His program record demonstrates he's never cared about free speech. Now that the Overton window has shifted so far right and the bar has been set so low, people will vote for a man like Tucker and feel like they're doing harm reduction / restoring democracy.
Read The Shock Doctrine. Unless there is a major correction, Tucker will continue Trumps' mission -- and people traumatized by Donald's chaos will embrace him.
I doubt most of these people have ever heard of Naomi Klein.
