(12,586 posts)Other than looking like the spawn of Satan, what qualifications does he have to espouse his negative philosophy wherever there is a microphone? He sounds like the smart-ass kid in high school who had to argue with the teachers, no matter what the subject. All he did was waste the time of the rest of us who were there to learn.
I read that people who just have to argue do so because they are addicted to the adrenaline high they get from the "flight or fight" situation they've created. Shapiro fits that description.
BTW, my opinion is that anti-abortion people have the same addiction. What better trigger than believing you are fighting for the life of an unborn child? Once Dobbs was passed, the source of their addiction was removed, so they've been forced to look for another trigger. Birth control and IVF are temporary sources, but they don't provide the incredible high they got from their anti-Roe fight. Even getting a nationwide ban on abortion is dull when compared with thrill of fighting for an unborn child. (Once the child is born, however, they're on their own.)
What will be the next target they'll use to feed the dragon?
I am now permanently kicking Shapiro out of the place he's been living rent-free in my head.
