I surprisingly like Ben Shapiro’s stuff.

[u/throwaway-ions]

I’m fairly left-leaning and there are stances that Ben has that I definitely wouldn’t agree with. For example, I’m pro-choice and I typically refer to trans people by their chosen pronouns.

I’m not all that familiar with his stuff and his opinions, but when I caught him on Jubilee’s “Surrounded” series, I was like, “This is a good person.”

The country’s leftists are in an odd place where anyone that doesn’t agree with you is suddenly the worst and doesn’t deserve a place to express their opinions. But, Ben made valid points during his Jubilee appearance and it got me to check out his YouTube channel. 🤷‍♂️

I’m still sad about Harris losing and am wary of a second Trump term, but something about Ben’s endorsement makes me somewhat reassured.

(I really don’t know all his political opinions though, so perhaps his infamous reputation is earned.)

As a right winger I really like Ben, for the reasons you mentioned. He rarely streets into conspiracy theories and stays hard on facts. It's kinda refreshing to hear from a political pundit

He not only rarely streets conspiracies, but he actively calls out the right for it. Especially when it comes to things like antisemitic conspiracy theories and misinformation regarding the vaccine (something which he’s changed his opinion on and admitted he was wrong about because of facts). It is very refreshing.
