      I guarantee you that he named him after William F. Buckley.

      I also guarantee you that Buckley would have fucking hated Trump because he was an “intellectual” (big snob) and did not like people who weren’t.

      Edit: He did, in fact, hate Trump. But don’t ask me why he chose Cigar Aficionado magazine to talk about it. https://www.nationalreview.com/2016/01/william-f-buckley-donald-trump-demagoguery-cigar-aficionado/

        Well the surname Tucker was a pretty prominent name on the side of the confederacy. I’m guessing that wasn’t a mistake.

        While that was an interesting read, things like this always sound like they are written by a person who has options. The option to leave on a permanent vacation to Italy, or some other beautiful coast line.

        the resistance to a corrupting demagogy should take first priority.

        This is blunt, but ultimately useless, the way a knife gets when you don’t sharpen it.

        And, as you pointed out, this is Cigar Aficionado. What a strange place for this to land.

        I’m no fan of Buckley’s, but I’m almost sad he didn’t live long enough to rant about MAGA.

    I’m sure it is just a coincidence that 27 year old Buckley is Tucker’s son. I am certain he got to the White House based on his long and successful career.

      The former Fox News personality’s only son has worked on Capitol Hill since 2019 — as a staff assistant, communications director, and deputy chief of staff to Indiana Republican Jim Banks.

      It’s not nothing, but I doubt he held these jobs due to experience, given that this was ages 22-28.

      He’s a household name around here! I can’t go to the supermarket without hearing someone prattling on about Buckley’s latest achievements. I mean i get it, the dude is an overachiever and a household name already–but can we please stop pretending he’s the second coming? Yes, i subscribe to his weekly newsletters, yes i host a podcast about his ascent to greatness, yes i have been banned from his fanclub on Facebook (they’ll never show him the love that I can), but please for fucks sake can we just talk about anybody else for like 2 minutes please?!?

      Strangely, a lot of people recently:

      Maybe a successful TV show has/had a character named Buckley? All I can think of is Andy Buckley (The guy that played David Wallace in The Office). It tracks with the time-frame the name became popular, but it’s probably unlikely.

      I mean, as cool as he was in that show, I’m not sure he’s an “I’m going to name my child after that guy!” kind of cool.

      Aside from him, there’s a character named “Evan Buckley” who was in a show called 9-1-1. But that aired around 2018, which is too recent to have inspired people to name their crotch gremlins after.

      Then there is Jeff Buckley (Hallelujah) who was a musician that passed away in 1997. Maybe the uptick is a result of people who were fans?

      EDIT: Vyvanse kicked in and when on a detail-oriented binge of edits.

        You also had Buckley on King of the Hill. (Possibly where the data initially starts.)
