Tucker thought he was going to be the next George Will. He didn’t. And he got fired many many many times from all major news networks. Even Fox News fired him. Being rejected by those he feels owe him, by those who he desperately wants to be admired by, has filled him with rage and grievance. True, he’s popular among the low info morons and racists living in rural Kentucky. But he doesn’t give **** about those guys. What he really wants is to be respected by cultural and political elites. And it’s what fills him with bitterness.
It’s interesting how all of these counter culture bros, Tucker, Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald, become that way after they’re rejected by a culture that they so desperately want to be admired by.
