Rules
Posts should be geared toward talking about Ben Shapiro, and his brand of conservatism: The purpose of this sub is to facilitate discussion related to Ben Shapiro and the Daily Wire in a broad and expansive sense. We err on the side of permitting topics. Moderators will not take aggressive action to try and balance out the dialog between various factions of users, but, at our discretion, we will remove posts that are meant to undermine this sub (alt-right and radical left).
Attacks on other users: This sub aims for respectful dialogue and debate. Make every attempt to be polite in tone and fair in your arguments. Attacking other users is prohibited, including attacks against collective users of the sub.

When quoting or paraphrasing another poster/commenter, do not take their arguments out of context to make them look bad. Deliberately lying about policy, history, and current events is anti-constructive behavior.
Brigading: Brigading is when users, generally from outside the sub, flood the subreddit and downvote content hurting karma of other redditors and spouting their generally toxic low-effort opinions. This also goes both ways. If any user calls for a brigade onto another sub/post, left or right, that user is subject to a ban at moderator discretion.

NYC’s Congestion Fees Are Killing Us—Trump Needs to Step In!
I don’t know how much more of this New Yorkers can take. If you drive into Manhattan below 60th Street, you’re getting hit with a $9 congestion fee with E-ZPass and $13.50 without it—every single time.
It doesn’t matter if you’re coming from the Upper West Side to Midtown, Queens, Brooklyn, or New Jersey—you’re getting taxed just for existing in your own city.
And what’s worse? We’re all terrified to use the MTA because we’re afraid of being set on fire, pushed into the tracks, or attacked by some mentally ill homeless person. The city is in shambles, and I honestly don’t know what to do anymore.
This isn’t hurting the rich—they don’t care. This is crushing the poor, the middle class, and small businesses. Living here is already outrageously expensive, and now they’re making it even harder just to move around.
I’m a Republican living in New York, and I cannot for the life of me understand how people keep voting for insane Democrats like Kathy Hochul. We’re drowning in regulations and fees, and they just keep piling it on. Even Governor Murphy from New Jersey is furious about this congestion pricing, and he’s a Democrat!
I really hope Trump steps in and does something about this like he said he would. We’re getting squeezed dry out here, and enough is enough.
I’m trying to get into debate and I’ve seen a couple of his debates. I have zero clue how he talks so fast without stuttering while saying actual good points
Reposting this from RFK’s MAHA Instagram Page
I downloaded the thread because Instagram and facebook attracted it for me by pushing its posts on there. However, when I downloaded and opened it, a numerous of TDS, Left Wing, Blue propagandas pop on my eyes. It's not just basically reddit as they even encouraging of using the term 'Latinx' to describe Latinos/Latina while calling the opponents 'Bigots'
This is a dedicated thread to discuss the daily Ben Shapiro Shows. This thread will repost every week on Monday.

Now that Nancy Pelosi and the January 6th “insurrection” committee wiped and deleted all evidence from the investigation and Joe Biden pardoned all of them…the next logical step is too either have someone gather video footage from attendees that day, a treasure trove of evidence, and release it to the public via a documentary or via an investigation for the purposes to actually clarify what went on that day. Since we all know they did not allow much evidence to be presented and no one really knows what the hell really went on that day. Because it’s clear as day, that there was a lot of suspicious behavior from bussing in Antifa, to police ushering in people into the Capitol, to Nancy Pelosi rejecting 10,000 soldiers to protect the Capitol, to Capitol police mysteriously dying and committing suicide months following. This is not conspiracy. Those are facts. Maybe because of the pardons we won’t get arrests, but at least we will get another angle than what was being pushed.
Ben has been pretty happy from what I've heard with the Trump admin so far. I think he wasn't excited about pardoning the people related to Jan. 6th, 2021. I agree with that but think some of them deserved to be pardoned. I don't know if Ben commented about the prominent spots given to tech giants at the inauguration, but I wasn't happy with that.
Zuckerberg, Bezos, Cook, Pichai stick together at Trump event
I (and my software company -- Ebenezer Enterprises) have been in a David against Goliath battle with those companies since 1999 when I started my company. I've seen some threads suggesting boycotting Amazon, Facebook and of course some people have been "de-googling" for years. I agree with the suggestions, but admit that I've been lazy about it by still using Google for email and buying stuff from Amazon. Some of the stuff has been bleepy -- I think they got it from China.
On the good Trump side, I like most of the executive orders that he's signed and am hopeful the people he's been appointing won't suck as bad as those in the Biden admin. I also like how they have frozen new foreign aid to almost all countries.
Overall, though, I'm afraid things will go off the rails before long. People who love America have a lot of adversaries both foreign and domestic. In another post in this sub I said that I pray Trump will be humble and seek wisdom from God for his decisions. That's still my prayer.
