This was a rhetorical question. But the reaction from people, aggressively attacking Tucker either because they believe he said this seriously or are angry he said it sarcastically at all, is an indicator that we're throwing the baby out with the bathwater 1/

Increasingly anyone who says anything that merely smells wrong to the people only talking about fraud right now is subject to get nuked. How long before this starts to backfire? 2/

Every pundit who is otherwise allied, all the data that is otherwise useful, is getting burned by the people for whom fraud is the only acceptable and appropriate issue to discuss. Will this increase or shrink the support base in the long-term? 3/

I've also seen this with Blexit. There are a growing number of people who believe Blexit actually happened and the 8-12% figures are actually fake because exit polls are all fake and all of the data is wrong. If you disagree, you're racist/liberal. How useful is this spiral? 4/

Also, let's say I'm wrong and it wasn't rhetorical, that Tucker actually meant that. Are we going to now nuke probably the last real America First pundit with a huge audience because of that comment? Who do we have left then? 5/

Not a hard question for me: I am not going to execute everyone who says Trump may have actually lost the election as a result of bad strategy. Again, does this help or hurt us in the long-term? 6/
