It does not matter.

I’m thinking about writing a science-fiction screenplay where a cynical TV commentator who reliably repeats white-supremacist talking points is replaced with a bona fide white supremacist who believes every word he says and NOBODY NOTICES THE DIFFERENCE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MATTER

ALIEN 1: There is conservative commentator Tucker Carlson; let’s scramble his brains to make him a bona fide racist

ALIEN 2: Wasn’t he already—

ALIEN 1: No, it was just for ratings

(ZAP)

CARLSON: We have too many immigrants

FOX VIEWERS: Something seems...not at all different

ALIEN 1: Boy, if it weren’t for the look on his face, you’d never even notice Tucker Carlson had his brain scrambled by aliens

ALIEN 2: I think he looked like that before
