I’m a “Ben Shapiro conservative.” I accept that I’m part of a dying generation of conservatives, and I lament it because I know what’s rising in its stead. It’s a radical and revolutionary reactionary force that you helped create through years of demonizing and dispossessing white men. From making them scared and desperate. From trying—and often succeeding—in destroying the most milquetoast of conservatives for daring to question your Woke orthodoxy. I was one of those casualties. It cost me everything as a teacher and I’m still a pariah amongst the Leftist ideologues that run our schools—unemployable in public education. I have every reason to hate people like you—and perhaps if I possessed a different temperament I’d be part of the new revolutionary Right. But I’m not, because I know that the polemic wars of the far Left against the new far Right will do to this country that I love. And I should warn you against reveling in Ben’s diminishing audience, because what is replacing it frightens me, and it should utterly terrify you. You’re going to reap what you sowed, and one day, you’ll pray for the return of conservatives like Ben,

There was a time, not very long ago, when Ben Shapiro could reasonably call himself the king of all conservative media. That’s all over now, writes political columnist Ross Barkan. Shapiro’s company, ‘The Daily Wire,’ is instituting significant layoffs. Its YouTube channel’s subscriber base is starting to shrink, and its website has emerged as one of the great traffic losers in conservative media. There are ‘Daily Wire’ YouTube videos that now, after a few days online, have less than 10,000 views, a catastrophically small number for a channel with more than 3 million subscribers. The top comments all mock the low view counts. “If a variety of poor business decisions can be blamed, in part, for the ‘Daily Wire’’s fall from grace — ill-fated investments in feature films, an epic fantasy series, and peculiar merchandise — the greater story is the collapse of Shapiro’s constituency,” writes Barkan. “There are two realities to Shapiro conservatism in 2026: It retains a significant foothold among Republican elites, and it is fast being rejected by the future grassroots of the party.” Read more: nymag.visitlink.me/KtpIKV

@ColdStandard88 @ZapGropper @CBHeresy It’s very telling that you are drawing a conclusion that literally conflicts with everything I’ve said so far. You’re way too retarded to be attempting these kinds of discussions.

It’s very telling that you are attempting to say the GOP were neocons the entire time. As if that was their default from the beginning . The isolation and non intervention movements were mainly Republicans. The republicans had different priorities before Irving Kristiol came along (who was also a Trotskyist). And slowly took over the party and institutions.

@ColdStandard88 @CBHeresy Paleoconservative is a misnomer. It doesn’t actually refer to any prior iteration of conservatism, despite the “paleo” prefix. It instead seeks to create a new conservative under the guise of returning to “old ways”. Also both “older Democrats” avoided entering the WWs at first

@ColdStandard88 @CBHeresy You’re demonstrating how ignorant you are. Conservatism has always involved heavy handed international presence. That’s the entire reason the term “neocon” came about — because people defected from the Democrats because Democrats were isolationists.

@TexasJack62 @CBHeresy They are both center right. They are in alignment on foreign policy and liberal policies at home. You literally just described them both. All republicans before Trump with the exception of a few are all neocons. The whole part still is neocon. The last good one was Buchanan.

Admit it. You assumed that Dr. Pepper was a man. You didn’t even consider that Dr. Pepper could be a woman.

@ColdStandard88 @CBHeresy You’re using that word to mean “anyone that I don’t like who is right of center”. Neoconservative is a specific term with an actual meaning — they are socially and fiscally liberal but support international military intervention. Bush and Shapiro do not fit that definition.

@CBHeresy You are the only one who is out of touch. Bush, Romney, McCain and Ben all neoconservatives with destructive policies. Yours and democrat policies have been done nothing but hurt this nation.

@TexasJack62 @JennMGreenberg @VirgisViews @rainydayyyyys The behavior is not the child’s fault and as I do not agree with this type of parenting I just don’t understand why people can’t water their own grass and stop worrying about everyone else’s! And yeah, shame on the person who did the video of this child and put it online!

I keep seeing people judge this mom, but let's use our brains for 5 seconds. They're at Sam's. This constitutes max 2 hours out of their week, maybe even the entire month. She's clothes shopping. This is not their daily routine. The most alarming part of this video is actually that a stranger filmed a young child without the parent's knowledge and posted it online.

@ok_post_guy Her name is Ellen Page. She is a woman and no amount of drugs, surgery, or gaslighting will ever change that.

@JennMGreenberg @VirgisViews @rainydayyyyys If this was not a regular part of that kid’s routine, she wouldn’t be following that laptop around like a horse following a carrot on a stick. It’s gross to film and post someone else’s kid online, but the child’s behavior is ALARMING.
