Unfortunately, Carlson isn't stupid. He used to be even witty, but that's not what his audience want.
So, you're saying he should move into elected politics next? I can see it happening.

They want to know what to buy and who fo hate.
Some people are well educated and know how to make a good impression. But I would submit that if he wants to give that up in favor of leading a mob of hateful destroyers of democracy, the veneer is thin, and maybe we should judge his character and his intelligence with what he seeks, not what he forsakes. When his plans go awry he can whine that it's just entertainment, just business, just locker room talk, not the real me, but the real you is what you do time after time, year after year, when nobody catches you out.Unfortunately, Carlson isn't stupid.

Indeed.
People like Carlson never truly have "skin in the game": they always leave an escape of "just kidding" open, so they will never have to suffer the consequences.
That's why we should ignore them.
Fox News still does real reporting, and there are still responsible conservatives providing valuable opinion and analysis. But the voices of the responsible are being drowned out by the irresponsible.
The overall theme of the documentary seems to be mostly based on a right-wing social media meme about an alleged "Hard Men/Weak Men" cycle, along with concepts of masculinity that emphasize a physical fitness and appearance that attracts the admiration of other men..
