So: is this #TuckerCarlson positioning for that next TV gig? Or, a brewing conspiracy theory of the moment, hinting at an independent presidential run? (Note the familiar hymn of such exercises, the lament of a “one party state.”)

We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done.
