One of those shitposts where I cannot tell if it is a legitimate real post or an edit

This is a weird timeline

I bet it would be real if his subconscious had a twitter account.

Hasn't he posted about her feet like a bunch? I dumped the bird app so I can't check.

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 38 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Fake, it's just a running joke.

[–] Ragdoll_X@lemmy.world 30 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nice try, Benjamin. We're onto your feet fetish.

Well, at least there's one part of his wife's anatomy that he understands the function of...

I hope that once... Just once Democrats ran a candidate they supported the way Republicans fall in line.

I mean I'd campaign the shit out of someone like Bernie, AOC, or Warren.

They got me to go to my first rallies. I'm not represented in any poll, and I think there are many across the millennial and zoomer generation in this position. The 2022 midterms speaks to this.

For once, let us please stop watering down factual, moral policy to cater to ignorance on the other side. Let's inspire our own and watch as voter-enthusiasm fans the flames of grass roots mobilization, which in turn inspires others to jump onboard. I know it's not a perfect example, but Obama's 2008 campaign exemplified the power of this.

The conservative mind is obsessed with hierarchy and conformity. They fall in line behind authoritarians because that's the very core of their ideology.

They spout lines about freedom, but the only freedom they're interested in, is the freedom to force others to obey. They fall in line via their very nature.

The left, in general, does not have these hierarchical impulses. The left is all about personal freedom to be who and what you want, while folding into society at large.

This means that the left is often extremely disorganized.

This is often not helped by the authoritarians working to inject chaos into, or stamp down on, left wing organizations.

This would require corporatists within the Democrats to allow a true leftist to get through the convention process, and I think that just won’t happen. Hence left loses ground and right gains, year over year.

But you have got to be excited about voting for Not Trump™ right!? It's really what gives me hope about the future, voting for Not Republican™©®... Really inspiring stuff that "I'm not Those Guys!"

:(

[–] Feirdro@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I vote Not Trump because I don’t want to see Americans rounded up and put in camps.

It’s not a fucking lifestyle choice.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That wasn't the point. I was referring to the comment above mentioning a lack of inspirational candidates to vote for, that we're only voting for Not Trump, which I 100% agree with doing. I don't want Trump either for the reason you stated and 100000 more, but I wish we had someone to vote for not simply voting against someone else every time.

[–] Feirdro@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I mean, it seems like Biden has done a lot of good stuff for the economy, but he can’t reverse 40 years of Reaganomics (practiced by Dems and Reps alike).

[–] Habahnow@sh.itjust.works 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In case others don't know,no this is not true. People like to post joke screenshots of Ben Shapiro making posts that imply he's infatuated with her, and with hints of awkwardness\creepiness. A common one is that he is a foot fetishest and loves her feet. Funny so long as you don't take it out of context.

[–] Stanwich@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Ummmmm ....... it's got the check mark.

I'll imagine this is sarcastic lol.

"oooh. she had a chefs salad with a hint of vinaigrette, coffee with two sugars and a splash of creamer, and half a kit kat for dessert"

Shapiro's doctor wife has confirmed to him that olfactory fecal stimulation is perfectly normal.

[–] MonsiuerPatEBrown@reddthat.com 9 points 11 months ago

my unhappy dude you can get pink eye that way.

see your doctor or your wife.

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 7 points 11 months ago

Oh no, Ben is at it again

[–] Luisp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 11 months ago

That would be the first time I couldn't judge him

[–] pizza 1 points 11 months ago
[–] ARk@lemm.ee -1 points 11 months ago

Is he sniffing it or locking it

[–] Tremble@sh.itjust.works -4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

WTH, this is creepy as fuck. Did Shapiro actually post this somewhere? Eww.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is not a real post, this is a meme mocking his seeming obsession with AOC.

[–] Tremble@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Okay thank god I knew about the obsession but Jesus

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is this really something you needed fact checked? Can you conceive of a situation where he would've actually have posted this? It'd be the end of his career and entire image he crafted for himself.

[–] Tremble@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

We’re talking about Ben Shapiro, right?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Do you think his right wing "rational male" fanboys would keep giving him money if he openly admitted to being subservient to one of the most prominent leftist female politicians? Even his dumbass brain can tell him that would be a bad idea.

I don’t hate the guy, but he’s a little weird in my opinion. I have seen him debate Anna kasparian (spelling?) from the tyt show and I think he got whooped but he’s not completely ignorant or anything… just a little weird…. And I don’t know much about his audience

And to be fair i may have either been half asleep or drinking beer when I saw the post originally. I’m glad it is a disgusting meme and nothing more than that
