    I legitimately do not understand how anyone takes this pathetic loser seriously. He sounds exactly like a middle schooler with no friends that's just desperate for attention. This is the same mf who said rap isn't music. That's literally the same shit I was saying at 8 years old

      He's just so heavily syndicated and self-promoted that you're not allowed to ignore him. Ben Shapiro has the sweetest sugar daddies in the business. He's like the Ron Jerome of right-wing pundits - entirely past his prime but so influential that he still shows up in every third thing that's produced.

      And because he never truly gets weird with it, a la Rod Dreher, he just entrenches himself further into the business forever. In another ten or fifteen years, when Tucker Carlson finally gets busted dick deep in a pile of sex muppets, Ben will be the bitter old guy they replace him with.
