Imagine saving all your life to be able to retire in a nice warm climate, and then two weeks later Ben Shapiro moves in next door.

Well, I guess it would be a relief to be only the 2nd most annoying person on the street.

Walked right into that, I did.

Why do so many people dislike Shapiro so passionately?
Because he's an outspoken conservative and anti-woke sort, with a few tentacles into pop culture. Pop culture rejects that as a cancer.

But there are many outspoken conservatives in the US. What's so polarizing about him?

Like I said, he's got tentacles into pop culture with his podcast and talk show presence. He's the sort who gets invited on Maher.

I dunno. Ben does like to go to college campuses, give his speech or presentation and then open the floor up to student questions. Maybe it's fear he's winning over young minds of mush...

It really has a lot to do with how effectively he dismantled liberal arguments and talking points during on campus presentations when he would be challenged by students.

It's effective to you because you agree with his points. His "government always equals pointing a gun to your head" argument is and continues to be ridiculous.
