Tucker Carlson says the book "The Psychology of Totalitarianism" by Mattias Desmet "has really changed my view on a lot ...". He says Desmet is a genius and there aren't many geniuses. I think this is playing a big role in why Tucker's Fox show is much more awake recently. Link in comments.

He also needs to read Robert J. Lipton's book Ideological Totalism.
Tucker made that statement in an interview with Will Cain in this link:

Link should start at the 24:55 mark and he discusses the book through the 25:50 mark.
I thought the author's name sounded familiar and then I remembered it was the same authored referred to in this article I posted a while back which deeply resonated with me and also I think with many others here at GAW.

I've only read the introduction and chapter one so far, but Tucker's assessment is spot on. I highly, highly recommend this book.
I think this book has had a big influence on these recent Tucker shows on his Fox News channel (which have already been posted here on GAW, but listing 3 examples in one post to make the point about the book).
First, we know the CIA killed JFK:

Next, Watergate was a CIA operation to take down Nixon and install CIA operative Ford (the Watergate part starts at the 6:55 mark):

Most recently Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself (Epstein story from the start to the 14:50 mark).
