You know, I was going to make the point that Tucker could in no way be controlled opposition because tossing out something like child sacrifice is so radioactive that it would be like staging a fight by stabbing someone in the lung. Way more damaging than is needed to be convincing.
While I still think he's not controlled op, there's a larger, much more important point to be made. That is that child sacrifice, and many similar such topics, are no longer morally outrageous to many, many people.
Just back in the 2015 movie "Grandma" about a pregnant teen trying to get an abortion with the help of her grandmother, it was handled quite somberly when she (spoiler) finally gets it near the end. In fact, I was surprised when she did. Now? Well, fuck, you ain't got no cred unless you've had one or two abortions.
Have we all noticed how far and how fast we've fallen? I don't think so.
