Jason Zengerle writes, Carlson had the highest-rated show in the history of cable news. And when he was abruptly fired from Fox in 2023, it was widely assumed he would fade from relevance. He did for many Americans, especially liberals, but he didn't go away. After leaving Fox News in 2023, he debuted a new streaming show on the social media platform then known as Twitter - now X - and launched the Tucker Carlson streaming network. Zengerle writes, the people still paying attention to him now are getting an even more extreme version of him than the one they saw on Fox News.
