You're almost there. It's because they're liars (the politicians / boosters). Tribalism is reserved for their base. The leaders are cynical af.
You think Tucker is genuinely perplexed by the issues he talks about with interviewees? Don't worry, that's a rhetorical question. I know Lemmy users aren't idiots. Just making a point.

These are the same dingbats that have made Ashli Babbitt a martyr (and have doxxed the man who shot her) and never can answer the question. Just what the f--- was she even doing there that day?
Not one of the people that cry about her and pretend to be so very concerned about it can answer why she was even there. Of course, this is the same bunch that think killing someone over selling loose cigarettes (if they are Black) is NBD.
