Uncharitable video making fun of his recent statements, but as far as I can tell there's a lot to go on.
- claimed demon attacked him in his sleep and he still has the claw marks a year later
- implied Trump was the antichrist, then denied ever saying that
- repeatedly claims that Trump is some kind of demonic force
- talked about his dad being in the CIA, then claimed he never knew his dad was in the CIA until he died in 2025
- brought up political violence, then claimed he didn't bring it up
Somewhat odd to say, but to me the most concerning statement on that list is claiming Trump is the antichrist, then explicitly denying he said that. The dude is on the record on his multimillion viewer show saying exactly that. What makes him think he can lie about it? Or is he not lying and he genuinely deluded himself into thinking he never said that?
Same thing about his dad and the CIA. How he can claim he was ignorant of the CIA connections is insane for multiple reasons, not the least of which is that he is on record - on another multimillion viewer podcast - acknowledging that his dad was, in fact, in the CIA.
A lot of people have concerns about Tucker being a fed. I'm not sure how these things fit into that, because it seems like he's on the verge of going on a Jordan Peterson benzo arc. More broadly, people who tend towards the "alt-right" seem to be getting increasingly nutty these days. I even see it on this forum.
Because the "alt-right" was always just a reaction.
In 2013, the Right was in shambles. Obama had been easily re-elected, and all neoconservativism seemed to offer was a losing forever war against Islam abroad, and a losing forever war against homosexuality at home.
And then 2014 happened and Woke was born. Michael Brown and Elliot Rodger and GamerGate all happened practically back-to-back, and liberals on Tumblr started saying "We're tired of Obama's centrist bullshit and we want a great wave of equity and reform," and it spread out from there to every corner of the Internet and then into real life.
And the alt-right was an immediate reaction to Woke. It was "Okay, we don't even know what we're for anymore, but we sure as fuck know what we're against, and this is it, right here."
Well, now it's twelve years later. Woke is kinda dead, the Left is playing defense and now they're just reacting; and the president the alt-right helped get elected is a magnificent fuckup who's failing in every possible way a president can fail.
Of course they're going crazy. There's nowhere to go but crazy. They don't have any unifying principles and their common enemy is on the back foot, so now all they can do is rant and rave about demons.
But, not to worry. We're gonna have a couple Democratic wave years, and then they can go back to condemning the politicians in power and they'll seem somewhat unified and coherent again.
