Thread Analysis of the Blue Tsunami

Past trends always made it likely that the GOP was headed for a rough election night this week. But the historic blowout we saw on Tuesday goes far beyond anything that trend alone could explain. There were plenty of real reasons for the results, and it’s important to understand them in order to assess voter concerns properly. While everyone will focus on their preferred spin to push narratives, all of these factors played a role:

This was a really good interview. Very different than the kind of stuff Trump usually gets asked.

Rather obvious that @Douthat60 was a great hire for CBS/60 Minutes.

NYT reports on an additional wrinkle to the Nvidia spy scandal.

They found that several of the Chinese companies that the Commerce Department approved to buy H200 Nvidia chips don’t seem to exist or have direct ties to the Chinese military.

On 11/1, Tucker Carlson published an insane lie that Trump was considering launching a nuke in Iran on November 7th. Now it's November 8.

He had zero real sources. The lie was reinforced by his latest guest, disgraced former CIA agent John Kiriakou (who is on the payroll of the Russian government via Sputnik; Kiriakou is also coincidentally the one who introduced Tucker to FSB-tied Elizabeth Lane).

The lie went viral. The goal was to create panic and demoralize Republican voters a few days before the election.

You will note that once it served that purpose, Tucker simply moved in.

He's done the same thing countless times before. Example: Remember when he invented a lie that Mossad agents were caught planting bombs in Saudi Arabia and Qatar during the war. Again, he just moved on.

Even putting aside the conspiracy theories, other lies, Nazi apologism, and bigotry, this is someone who is intentionally trying to harm with lies aimed at his audience. You should question the judgment of anyone who still associates with or views him as a useful voice.

Hey @grok, who has posted more about Israel or Israel-related topics over the last year: @cenkuygur or @benshapiro?

Please quantify the comparison.
