Tucker Carlson and JD Vance had rough normal gay guy sex and he's getting ahead of any story and saying it was demon assault.
I can also take part in conspiracies

Hey, Christians who believe in demonic possession: How come it's only y'all getting possessed and not my heathen, atheist ass who literally invites the demons in?
Your atheist ass is inviting people in you say?
Only demons are invited in this atheist ass
And I suppose you require their genitals to be like donkeys and their spunk like that of stallions?

I’m not sure if this was a literal invitation, but I’ll poke my head out.
It depends on how you interpret scripture. I was raised in a “non-literalist” faith, and some of these beliefs have come to interpret references to “demons,” and what not, being misconstrued as mental illnesses. I believe Richard Dawkins coined the phrase “God of the Gaps” which is not too dissimilar to what is happening in this case.
So the non-faithful, along with the faithful, could still be afflicted, technically, however I’m fairly confident mental health treatment may be better for them over “driving out the demon” so to speak. Though some denominations would call it heresy for me to say that. Lmao.
As for Tucker… I’m skeptical he cares for the Word. He certainly doesn’t act as though he does, in my view.
I'm actually surprised I haven't been hit with a "you're already going to hell, why would the demons possess you?" from the literalist theists that might be on Lemmy, to be honest.

As I understand it, Carlson wasn't much of a man of faith before this either.
Wasn't much of a man.
You could have ended the sentence there.
I don't know him at all since I don't have access to the channels he was on, but I take it he was some kind of "news" anchor that people didn't really like? Or where's the hate coming from?

If this is true, what did he do to deserve this. This doesn't just happen to a good god fearing person. So I guess the real question is, what did he do to deserve this.
This doesn't just happen to a good god fearing person. Why would this happen if he DIDN'T deserve this. Clearly he lost favor with the good lord and has opened himself up to the devil to be possessed by a demon.
Anyone who follows Trump has sold their soul to Satan.
As someone who was raised in a very evangelical household: the (non)-answer is that it happened to him in order to tempt him or test him or some shit. If it happens to a non-god-fearing individual, it's deserved, otherwise it's God's plan all along. Because moving the goal posts is just way too easy.
The real answer is Tucker Carlson is either actually insane or hardcore grifting, but I'm probably preaching to the choir here going down that rabbit hole lol.
He's grifting. He's no snake-juggling meth-mouthed shitkicker, they're just part of his audience.

No you see he is like Job in the Bible!!! He's so righteous God is testing him with demons!!!!
-his fans probably
I guess Carlson's soul isn't worth enough to send a succubus. All he's worth is a backscratcher.
Job has to be one of the more disgusting stories in the Bible... It was the one that I read/was taught about in church as a teen that first made me go "wait a second...".
From the first time I heard that story, it never sat well with me, and not a single adult was ever able to give me a satisfactory explanation for why it was OK for god to straight up destroy this poor man's life (a man who was already super dedicated to this god), including literally killing his innocent family, over some petty bet with the actual devil.
That really opened my eyes to what the OT god really was in that book, and I did not like what I saw.
Job is a great work of literature, except that its authors chickened out at the end and close it out by saying "But God can kick nine kinds of shit outta ya, so you'd better just say your hosannas and quit bitching." Up to that point, there's a lot in it.

This all obviously ridiculous but... I grew up with a family that 100% believed in spiritual warfare. My parents were more willing to believe my brother was possessed than to believe he needed psychiatric help. My Dad had the church elders pray over me when I had whooping cough, asking God to cast out the demon that had so obviously latched onto my 10 year old lungs. I regularly saw people at my church who would claim to have seen fantastical things.
Tucker is simply appealing to his base. The mass groups of people who truly believe they are warriors for Christ engaged in a life and death struggle for the soul of the whole world. There are thousands of them and they believe you and I as unbelievers are at best, unwittingly helping the enemy and at worst, willful vessels of the literal devil.
I wouldn't be shocked if Tucker Carlson 100% believed what he's saying. The groupthink in those circles is difficult to break out of.
I wouldn’t be shocked if Tucker Carlson 100% believed what he’s saying.
I would be very shocked. He's a cynical propagandist, not a true believer.
"I got attacked while I was asleep with my wife and four dogs and mauled, physically mauled." ... "I have no idea what happened."
lol
This is the level of critical thinking that conservative pundits are exercising.

People are saying it's the dogs, but given that it's Tucker Carlson I think it's far more likely that he's just flat out lying.
Dogs will resist if someone tries to fuck them and they're not into it.

Too bad it didn't kill him
He’s such a cunt. Fuck that guy.
You're telling me this is a real story like in a real news source?

Weirdo. Through and through.
I see he's taking a page from Alex Jones's bible.
Anyway, what are the chances that someone's going to come forward that Carlson assaulted them and they fought back? Just asking questions.

But, man, you're never going to get any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you want to hear; we lie like hell. We'll tell you that, uh, Kojak always gets the killer, or that nobody ever gets cancer at Archie Bunker's house, and no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don't worry, just look at your watch; at the end of the hour he's going to win. We'll tell you any shit you want to hear. We deal in illusions, man! None of it is true! But you people sit there, day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds... We're all you know. You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here. You're beginning to think that the tube is reality, and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you! You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even think like the tube! This is mass madness, you maniacs! In God's name, you people are the real thing! WE are the illusion! So turn off your television sets. Turn them off now. Turn them off right now. Turn them off and leave them off! Turn them off right in the middle of the sentence I'm speaking to you now! TURN THEM OFF... [collapses in a prophetic swoon as the audience erupts in thunderous applause]

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed he was “physically mauled” by a demon in his sleep, leaving claw marks on his body, which he says are still visible.
next time he shouldn't use teeth and make sure you cup the balls, Mr. Carlson.
He should keep that between him and his woman. He doesn't need to lie to us. 🤷♂️
