Meritocracy!
Dipshits, ex-boyfriends, and imbeciles.
He has a face that says “just low enough on the hierarchy to avoid facing any consequences for his fascism”
That is the whitest name I have ever heard.
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.
Not a fan of Buckley but the fact that we no longer have conservative intellectuals is a huge part of our problem
Conversely, the conservative intellectuals we do have are a huge part of our problem.
Other than Benny Shaps there reallyaren’t any as those that tried to be intellectuals, Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro, abandoned it for the grift.
Natch, the faceless shadowy intellectuals.
I’m no fan of Buckley’s, but I’m almost sad he didn’t live long enough to rant about MAGA.
That would’ve been high entertainment.
I was thinking “douchiest”, but why not both?
European Americans getting in on the meritocracy racket. Tip top.
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.
Nepo baby for sure
Ugh. Jim Banks is such a piece of shit. That doesn’t surprise me at all.
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?!?

Don’t worry Trump’s planning on inflicting plenty of political violence. It’s why the Democrats are being so cowardly right now.
Who the fuck names their kid Buckley
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.)
I think I saw an article about the recent uptick of males named after things related to guns…
Is a Buckley a type of gun?
It’s more than likely this asshole
… or Tucker
when they come out looking asymmetrical
Is this what they call a DEI hire?
Of course his names Buckley.
Shit, it reproduced?
Buckley?
Jesus Christ…

The shit apple doesn’t fall too far from the shit tree.
Totally a merit hire, ya? Lolol
Nepo baby incest for the win? Kakistocracy mask off with this one.
Fucker and Fuckley!
I thought Tucker was gay
