Tucker Carlson says if we don't stop the "demographic shift" of the country we will return to the "broke, dirty, and dangerous" cities of "50 years ago"

Tucker Carlson: “Demographic shifts” will lead to cities being “broke, dirty, and dangerous”

This is an interesting twist on his usual "demographic shift" screeds (usually about immigration) he's essentially saying BLM protesters are forcing wealthy, implied whites, to flee cities, Tucker's conception of society is one where upper-class whites are an anchor of stability.

A lot of Tucker's recent content has been centered around the idea that transforming law enforcement in ways that would remedy the persecution of communities of color is so unpalatable to "normal" [white] city dwellers that their only recourse is to leave the "chaos" of diversity

This is extremely correct, and noticeable in how hard RWM is pushing to connect a "crime wave," which by every reasonable analysis and measure is a result of the economic calamity we're currently in, with protests driven by the Black community.
