I think it is because they don't have the people in charge they used to, they aren't nearly as competent as their forebears and they're panicking, so they're just throwing whatever they can out there in the hopes that some of it sticks and relying on the lack of media literacy built up by generations of a neoliberal education system to be successful. They don't have a plan to combat growing class consciousness beyond just throwing more money at talking heads and hoping it works.
I don’t think Tucker is being pushed by American media though
Yes and no. He lost his traditional gig but he still has CIA ties and if anything seems like he is being groomed as the next fascist "outsider" to helm the MAGA movement because Trump ain't gonna live much longer and they can't just have this rabid mob of neoconfederates be untethered.
I don't think Tucker intends to run for any kind of office. He doesn't really believe in anything and already makes mad bank as a grifter.
But he can still corral people towards the next bit of meat paste the Republicans squeeze into a suit and convince people to vote for them. He's still very useful even if he never runs for office himself.
