Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

his version of conservatism will soon be a thing of the past as people like Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, etc., take over as the voices of the Right.

Ughh.... I hate how right this is proving to be. There is no bottom, it's only down from here.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 24 points 5 days ago

The fact that Nick Fuentes has say over anything is disgusting.

I mean, I don't think Ben Shapiro was better than any of those people you mentioned they're all cynical pieces of shit.

Shapiro also just happens to be a Zionist tool that odds with the rest of them on that issue.

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I never imagined Candace would make it this far. It would be impressive if it wasn't certain they're going to turn on her.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

It's almost like a lot of these dumbasses have not learned about history at all.

It's like when you hear about some trad wife finding out what her husband and pals really think of her.

And hell, Ben Shapiro could almost literally start a Jews For ~~Hitler~~, oops, I mean, Trump and apparently have zero self awareness. Same goes for that dumbass Stephen Miller. Do these two really think they are going to be able to ride the tiger of what they are working to foment?

And then Candace - FFS, does she think, that, as a black woman, she's going to be able to do the same?

Do they think empowering the worst instincts of Nat-Cs is going to end well for themselves? I mean, how delusional can you get?

He has a career as a master woodworker ahead of him

Ben Shapiro holding a home Depot bag with a board of wood sticking out of it

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

Is that him? Huh don't get me wrong I would support his rights to do this but are we entirely certain he's not a biological female? I'm just asking questions.

Anyone got the tl:dr of his downfall?

[–] MJKee9@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

He's tied his wagon to Zionism and Trump....

[–] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Views are down, profit is down, and he's pointing fingers at everyone else

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 17 points 5 days ago

What a piece of shit. I hope he lives the rest of his miserable days poor and forgotten.

[–] veni_vedi_veni@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Dude Ben Shapiro's sister is hot

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 8 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Yeah I’d let her open my beer and boil my hot dogs.

[–] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 1 points 5 days ago

You certainly aren't lying

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 days ago

Dude hasn't been the same since Charlie Kirk upstaged him.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I have a sudden craving for milk...

[–] tacoplease@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

All we can do? We could celebrate it harder!

[–] Loce@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Oh no! Anyway...

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Personally I won't be satisfied until he joins good ol' bleedy neck.

[–] Wataba@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

And loving every moment of it.

Eat shit, Neanderthal.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago

Neanderthal should not be used as an insult.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 7 points 5 days ago

Some might say that his good fortune has dried up.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

He is falling victim to his own idiocy. He supported Trump, a lying pedophile conman, to do xyz and is surprised that Trump turned out to be a lying pedophile conman and did the exact opposite of xyz. He is rightly receiving lots of backlash

[–] cheat700000007@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Plus he can't make his wife wet.

[–] Eric@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 5 days ago

Tokens get spent

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Making a career out of being a piece of shit just to make money while encouraging others to be pieces of shit too and washing your hands of it because “you’re just an entertainer.”

Fuck ‘em.

[–] Gigdragon@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Proven correct once again. There are no right-wing icons. Just the "grifter of the week" models.

[–] Flying_Lynx@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 days ago

Isn't this the talk-fast-and-break things kinda guy?

"Ben Shapiro doesn’t matter anymore"

oh, never mind.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 1 points 4 days ago

Oh no how unfortunate.
