Tucker Carlson comments on the polarization and virtue signaling that characterize today's politics:
Part of the explanation has to be the moment that we're living in right now where hysteria has supplanted rational debate. Well, the purpose of political argument is no longer to explain your beliefs but to highlight what a morally upstanding person you are, a virtuous guy you are, using by contrast of your opponent who is by definition evil. It's childish, obviously.
