Tucker Carlson's son, Buckley Carlson, will join J.D. Vance's vice presidential staff as a deputy press secretary. Tucker, a far-right media personality and ally to Donald Trump, has long been a controversial figure in conservative politics
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.
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/
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.

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

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.
