Let’s Get Retarded; or, Tucker Carlson and the Illusion of Independence

Image
Masa tortilla chip spokesman Tucker Carlson, like Syria’s President Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa (nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Julani), is a man of many appearances. Whereas Sharaa transitioned from turbaned ISIS fanatic to Zelensky-style military-garbed rebel leader and finally suit-and-tie statesman with White House access, the protean Carlson has gone from bow-tie-clad free-trade neoconservative nerd to polished prime-time dissenting Trumpian populist and now a rustic YouTube conspiracy-peddling cabin dweller whose Bass Pro Shops aesthetic and twangy banjo intro music herald him as the folksy millionaire voice of the American people who also happens to have White House access. “Since the early days of his [2016-2023] tenure as a Fox prime-time host, Tucker Carlson’s unabashed championing of white grievances earned him the accolades of neo-Nazis, who praised him as a ‘one man gas chamber’ and complimented the way he ‘lampshad[ed] Jews on national television,’” writes Madeline Peltz at ...

  One of the film festival hits of 2017, described as an “intensely felt palimpsest of joy and despair” conveying the “infectious joy” of summer [1] and finding “magic in the mundane” [2], was Sean Baker’s The Florida Project . I watched it with the intention of posting a review, but found it so depressing and upsetting that I abandoned my plan for a write-up. As with Larry Clark’s Kids (1995), one of The Florida Project ’s selling points is its shocking depiction of unchaperoned children in inappropriate situations. Six-year-old actress Brooklynn Prince stars as Moonee, a foulmouthed, mischievous girl who stays at a sleazy Kissimmee motel with her semi-homeless stripper/hooker mother. Moonee’s imitation of the adults in her life finds her, for instance, calling another little girl a “stupid thot” or twerking for her mother’s amusement: “Oh, wow, you got some twerk skills, girl.” “Now watch me shake my booty,” Moonee sings, directing her posterior toward the camera.
