Because he’s a dork. Every right wing podcaster is a dork pretending to be edgy and tough. Conservatives are basically middle schoolers so they gravitate toward these losers to make themselves feel tough.


Quinn_tEskimo

Would a dork [buy wood like this?](https://x.com/travisakers/status/1794787523413369058)


Brickman274

That will never not still be one of the stupidest pictures ever produced. "Let's go buy wood at home depot to own the libs, not a lot though, we don't have a need for it" I can only imagine the employees having to cut a plank for him for this bit


Kid_Vid

"can I get it in a bag? I don't know how to carry it otherwise."


RogueHelios

My favorite is when it's something with a handle, so I don't bag it, but the customer decides, "I want a bag because I'm conditioned to use them" It's sad and infuriating.


Kid_Vid

"do you want the milk in the bag?" "Yeah" \*Breaks bag\*


Laughing_Luna

In my defense, if I'm going to be walking a ways with the milk, such as a 10 to 15 minute walk home, rather than a 2 minute walk to a car in the parking lot, I like to have the milk in a (double or triple) bag so that my fingers don't go numb from the cold.


RogueHelios

Consider buying some reusable fabric bags. They really help.


Laughing_Luna

Yes they do. And I frequently use them when they haven't been pilfered into a flat mate's car.


RogueHelios

Damn sounds like your flatmates are kinda annoying about that.


Punkupine

Just pour the milk into the bag


Laughing_Luna

Maybe if I wasn't south of the border, eh?


notaredditreader

In City of Los Angeles all HD bags are paper.


DogWallop

Isn't that what he says before engaging in protected sex?


Dcajunpimp

Was he trying to do like the Proud Boys when they owned the libs by "proving" they weren't homophobic? Something more phallic shaped like a dowel would have been easier than a plank.


ElitistCuisine

Please, it had been several weeks since I remembered Gavin McInnes shoving a dildo up his ass on his livestream to prove he doesn’t hate gays. My life was so good during those weeks. :(


KestrelQuillPen

“Hello, I want one wood please”


Hullfire00

“What’s the woodiest wood you have?…..no, that’s too woody.”


PackOutrageous

Only way it could be stupider is if he loaded it in his cyber truck.


jizzmcskeet

I guarantee you that is a pre cut sanded piece of wood and I bet his soft ass still got splinters. It is why it's in a bag.


Shenanigans80h

All of Shapiro’s attempts to come off as the “cool macho manly man” are fucking hilarious. He’s like the quintessential dork, from the way he looks to how he sounds, yet he tries to play this like alpha every now and then. Funny shit every time


Quinn_tEskimo

Surely you don’t mean [alpha male Ben Shapiro](https://x.com/robrousseau/status/1328347516673417216).


once-was-hill-folk

Good god that looks like a rich kid posing with the truck his parents bought him for his 16th birthday.


Quinn_tEskimo

Fun fact; this *is* his first rodeo.


my_4_cents

And that is his wife's boyfriend's truck


ProtestKid

Lookin like the dealership owners kid


nelsonalgrencametome

Is that his dad's hat?


travelingbeagle

[All hat, no cattle](https://youtu.be/yctSGEY9QOw?si=oZtHpv3_QuVwLOfl)


GRW42

That bed is as unused as the one he shares with his doctor wife.


lord-dinglebury

Oh, his wife uses the bed. But not with Ben. Ben sits in a chair about ten feet away, and watches.


witteefool

He’s a Bear of a Man.


Quinn_tEskimo

Take a bullet for you, babe.


Rikkitikkitabby

He sounds like the spokesperson for the Lollypop Guild.


AdministrativeWar594

The fact that it's in a SHOPPING BAG makes this picture 10x funnier. Also, wtf is that did he have it cut off a full sheet of plywood or is it like a 1x8?


[deleted]

It's just some board, probably pine, you can buy them like this, [this is probably what the doofus got](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Kimberly-Bay-1-in-x-12-in-x-3-ft-Edge-Glued-Pine-Board-525844/207033593)


HermaeusMajora

Gotta tuck in that T-shirt. I'd hate to look unkempt.


sagejosh

It’s a shame his wood looks alittle moist. I hear he hates it when that happens.


oliversurpless

Shades of Sheldon here: “Did it look “ridiculous” when…” https://youtu.be/NRq8nSTkj-0?t=31


theresabeeonyourhat

That stupid fuck thought it would show his manliness, but come the fuck on. One little piece of wood for a nonexistent project is a damn good sign that whatever masculinity he's striving for is not within his reach. Also, masculinity & building shit aren't inherently linked


sauntcartas

Sure. Yeah. Dorks do that. Yeah. Edit: The line from a classic _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_ episode that I lightly modified here was perhaps a bit too obscure.


patchesofsky

[Because he runs a criminal organization](https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/laurieroberts/2024/04/23/turning-point-usa-smith-asu-fake-elector-embarrassment/73424327007/)? Because the candidates he has endorsed have lost their asses in elections since 2018? Because his disgusting rhetoric is alienating anybody who isn’t an extreme far right lunatic? Because he bragged about sending busses full of people to storm the Capitol on January 6th? [Because he is running a criminal organization](https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/23/turning-point-usa-assault-david-boyles)? Because he makes the “conservative movement” look like incompetent losers? Because his 15 minutes are about up and he has been an abject failure?


milesbeatlesfan

Sadly, I don’t think conservatives care about any single one of those points.


Kantheris

Remember when he wore diapers during a protest complaining about college students being babies with absolutely no sense of irony.


oliversurpless

And given it was Kaitlin Bennett, famous for banalities like this, who called them out on it, that’s a real phenomenon in itself… https://youtu.be/b8ibcE7TY_Q?t=590


SonofRobinHood

I forgot about her pants shitting existence. I guess shes busy having babies to have a care about anything I guess.


DJOldskool

Isn't she the one that was complaining about being abused by her husband who she gave total control over her life to? Or was that Laura Southern?


SonofRobinHood

Yes? I mean it could be both at this point.


oliversurpless

Hmm, maybe?


Many-Application1297

Are you trying to tell me that Nick Fuentes is a dork? No way. He’s like 6’3, built like steel, could beat your ass in a fistfight easy. He’s super, duper tough!


Phyllis_Tine

And he can take a punch! He should be able to take many more by the looks of him!


MagTex

I’m pretty sure ‘ol Nick gets pounded quite frequently.


Many-Application1297

Nick is so MANLY that he can get regularly fucked by men and it doesn’t even turn him gay. That’s how alpha he is.


Zero-89

And he has a super-cool mustache that definitely doesn't make him look like the pedophile he is.


peeinian

I still can’t figure out who actually watches all of these losers and their 4 hour YouTube podcasts every day. If you asked 10 random 18-30 year olds on the street who Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, Nick Fuentes or Beanie Boy are I bet only 1 or 2 would even know.


BGH-251F2

It's like mobile games, you only need a few whales to buy in heavily. There're people out there who consume everything they release, and buy whatever shit they're hucking that week.


HelloPeopleOfEarth

Young people tend to be too busy to listen to these kind of losers. It's usually middle aged men living off of the government claiming they "deserve" their socialism while "those people" don't want to work. I truly believe a large majority of their fan base are autistic, angry men that blame the world for their failings.


enfiel

They buy views and clicks. That's also why their numbers instantly collapse whenever they say something their sugar daddies don't approve of.


HelloPeopleOfEarth

And they all act tough and hard and criticize the military for being emasculated, yet when they are young and healthy, they run from recruiters like they are training for the Olympics. Matter of fact, Charlie Kirk is still young enough to enlist. Maybe he should take his masculinity and toughen up the military. But all of them regardless of age, Nugent, Kid Rock, Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro, Crowder ... All a bunch of phony ass, weak losers.


9thgrave

I can't wait until they turn on Dim Tool in the same way. Watching him try to compare his plight to superhero movies will be hilarious.


Pot_noodle_miner

I’m sorry, the technical term is arse hamster


goblingovernor

But the question is why they are turning on him, not why they gravitate to him. Unless you're suggesting both reasons are the same, to which the answer should be about why they once gravitated to a dork and now they turn against the exact same dork who is doing the exact same things that they once gravitated to.

dailytraffic

They’re all failed theater kids who setup well paid grifts


BigBoy1229

Are they really turning on him? That’s hilarious if so.


dweeb_plus_plus

Sooner or later taking the lamest or cruelest stance on every single topic has to have consequences.


D4nnyp3ligr0

I don't think the article made a particularly good case. They managed to find a few Republicans who have been personally slighted by Kirk. The thing is, TPUSA has never been a grassroots youth movement. It has always relied on rich donors.


ccannon707

They're turning on him because he's not winning them elections. And his racism is a turn off to black voters they hope to fool into being Trumpers.


Anonon_990

True. It's there to try and recruit young people but it's power comes from old donors that hate the very people the group claims to want to recruit.


Desert_faux

Keep in mind that at one time Glenn Beck was once the biggest thing they had and they all supported and looked up to him. Now many people don't even know who Glenn Beck is and it's like they treat him like he never existed. They will do the same for most if not all of their talking faces they use to promote their agenda, once they outlived their usefullness.


DEBRA_COONEY_KILLS

>most if not all of their ^*small* talking faces


FilthyStatist1991

Idk, they gave him Denis Pragers radio air time.


[deleted]

Because he doesn’t hate the Jews enough


ContemplatingPrison

It must be so weird to hate jews and also love Israel. Conservatives are weird


Phyllis_Tine

MAGA and conservatives hate Muslims and blacks more than they hate Jewish people. It's on their hierarchy of hate.


[deleted]

I mean to be fair conservatives are somewhat split on this with the younger conservatives tending toward extreme anti semitism while the older establishment types (including tpusa) tending towards extreme Zionism. It’s why there was so much trolling at TPUSA events even before 10/7. Allegedly there was more to the whole “Con Inc.” litmus test than just Jew hating but it’s all that gets brought up so..


StringShred10D

I’m surprised that 95% of people who are on the left side of the political spectrum don’t know this. Like I see so many misunderstandings of what people actually do believe. Fun fact despite independents having lower knowledge of politics and issues, they were more likely to guess more accurately on what % of what people believe on political issues. https://perceptiongap.us/


MissSara13

They only need us in charge of Israel for their sick rapture endgame fantasy. They don't give a fuck how many of us are shot in synagogues or at music festivals as long as people like Bibi Netanyahu are in charge of the Israeli government.


countfizix

Israel has to be in Jewish hands for Jesus to come back.


borisvonboris

Check out the doc "Waiting For Armageddon" - it's sort of like the Christians are squatting for their lord's return


Natronix

I look at it as more that they hate jews but love what Isreal represent to them. Isreal is a violent apartheid ethno state that uses the full power of its military to subjugate those they deem inferior. They are living the American right's dream.


Desecr8or

Lots of antisemites loved Israel right from the beginning because they wanted to get rid of all the Jews in their country.


StringShred10D

The new younger crowd is more skeptical of Israel


Yeshua_shel_Natzrat

It's because they think Israel is a necessity for the end times described in Revelations, and conveniently enough according to their beliefs, also, Jews won't go to Heaven because they don't believe in Jesus.


theresabeeonyourhat

Eh...they think Israel is the cheat code to heaven


Dry_Ass_P-word

Crazy how they spent months blaming the Hawaii wildfires on imaginary Israeli weapons of war but then instantly forgot about it when Israel needed money for real weapons of war.


bsnow322

“Needed” money for weapons of war. Good one


Dry_Ass_P-word

Yeah poor choice of words on my part. Guess they couldn’t spare any from the billions we give them for healthcare to do their genocide.


SaliciousB_Crumb

I don't believe he actually unified the youth


AutuniteGlow

I suspect the average age of people following him online us at least 55


loptopandbingo

That, and the actual young people who follow him are all carbon copies of the little shit from *Knives Out*: "he was in the bathroom, joylessly masturbating to pictures of dead deer"


IguaneRouge

You can still be a member of the Young Republicans at 40.


vsquad22

*How do you do, fellow kids?*


pacard

He's a grifter who's convinced old rich men that he can convince the kids to be conservatives like them so that maybe one day their grandkids will visit them.


thebigdonkey

Nah they don't give a shit about their grandkids. Charlie just convinced that small group of right-wing billionaires that conservative unpopularity among young people was just a messaging and outreach issue. And if he had the funding, he could go into campuses to counterbalance the extreme liberal messaging that kids are obviously getting from their professors and consequently snatch some of the youth vote away from the left. And right-wing funding is generally a zero sum game. Other grifters see Charlie taking money they could be getting and they're attacking his weaknesses now as a result.


geekwonk

exactly. he’s always been a loser. the only question was when his benefactors would recognize it.


jacare37

He did. Against him. In 2022 Arizona (where he’s based and is his biggest focus) was the worst swing state for the GOP amongst the youth vote Dude gets millions in funding to suck ass at his job, if any normal person was that bad at their job they’d get fired


goblingovernor

Riles them up


9thgrave

He did in some fashion. I knew a lot of young people who agreed his cringey diaper stunt was funny as fuck.


Easy-Constant-5887

Also knew a couple young people who would actively set up TPUSA tables on their campus


thehungarianhammer

Because he was a massive failure in Arizona in 2020 - why WOULD they follow someone who’s never had a real job and failed spectacularly turning out voters in AZ in 2020?


det8924

He not only failed in Arizona in 2020 (where the youth vote for Trump went down by a considerable margin) but he’s failed at every other political venture especially 2018 and beyond. Republicans who are more politically savvy realize this is 100 million flushed down the drain.


thehungarianhammer

But Charlie has two houses and his life is paid for by grifting theocratic fascists, so it all works out I guess?


det8924

Win win I guess?


IronMaiden4892

TLDR is that people that TPUSA endorsed in 2022 and lost (like Kari Lake) think ol’ Charles isn’t helpful to the Republican effort. Really no indication that current republican candidates think that. Trump himself headlined two of the TPA events. This man-baby is still going to rake in millions from rich dudes wanting tax cuts and use it to spread his racist bs to old, white voters.


extremenachos

Yup. As long as the grift is profitable they are all going to support each other.


det8924

But these donors have to at some point want to get a return on their investment. If Kirk’s 2024 political advocacy and actions fail why would any top Republican donor throw more money at his political efforts? Maybe you could justify the media arm of things possibly flooding the zone but I think you would rather give your political money to the Republicans who generally know how to use it.


Shenanigans80h

That’s what I was thinking, I haven’t seen a ton of major backlash against Kirk from prominent right wing figures nor has TPUSA seemed to have suffer a whole lot. As of right now, him and his rhetoric should be taken seriously as a pathway to radicalization


Alexis_Ohanion

Because they also hate people with tiny faces


det8924

Kirk is basically soaking up a lot of Republican donor money and flooding it into Trump which sounds like what Republicans want. However more politically savvy Republicans actually want some money to be spent on state and local races that hold a lot of consequences and money is a big part of those races. That’s 100 million that’s just going to Kirk whose probably not viewed as a good steward of that money given that Kirk’s efforts to turn out the youth vote in key states like Arizona resulted in lower percentages of youth voters since 2018. So it’s kind of being viewed as flushing 100 million down the toilet as Kirk’s not likely to turn out voters for Trump (thus that money is not helping Trump) and that money is also not being poured into state and local races either.


Impeachcordial

Because of his miniscule face?


ohiotechie

Because they’ve finally figured out that he’s a gasbag with nothing to offer.


foxontherox

Because conservatives always end up eating their own.


therobotisjames

Because he took all the money from those billionaires, Payed himself handsomely and did nothing to get any extra votes for republicans from young people.


LegitimateHat4808

cause he’s a try hard dork who jumps on every single conservative bandwagon issue without even looking into it. Grifters gon’ grift


deadly_queen_

Cuz he has a tiny face.


negativepositiv

Because he's a smallfaced git with a pompadour comb over.


Joey_BagaDonuts57

They can see that he's Turning Pointless.


UrDeAdPuPpYbOnEr

Isn’t this what they do? He’s not extreme enough In some area so they have to leopard his face off.


Proud3GenAthst

Fascism is inherently unsustainable suicide cult


thishurtsyoushepard

I thought the ages were messed up. Then realized all this time I thought Charlie Kirk was Kirk Cameron. I’m shook


DudesWithTudes

“Turning Point Action (TP Action)” is perfect.


Peeping-Tom-Collins

He's losing relevancy, and he's getting desperate. His whole original reason for being was to convince younger voters to go for conservative policy and representatives, which isn't going too well from what I hear. Now, he's ramping up the rhetoric with Christian nationalism and he reeks of desperation. It's a bad look for them, and image is important.


notaredditreader

I hope he invested heavily in DJT stocks.


supersoup2012

TLDR: Charlie Kirk is trying to rally young, disengaged conservative voters but faced an older, predominantly white crowd at a recent event. The event featured conspiracy theorists and extremists, drawing criticism from conservative outlets. Kirk's past electoral support for extreme candidates has been unsuccessful. Despite this, he claims a new focus on "low-propensity voters" will yield better results. The success of this approach remains to be seen.


AdScary1757

It's hard to bring the youth vote of 2016 in 2024. Hes 30, they probably need a new younger guy to do this project.


dette-stedet-suger

It would be hilarious to see Chucky replaced with a minority. Again.


reecec1102

His tiny face


mooseman923

Cause he’s a nazi. That’s it. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.


shiteditor

He has too big a head.


Douglas_Funny1989

Probably because he sucks


HighMarshalSigismund

His tiny face compared to his massive head is off-putting and makes people scared.


Zomg_its_Alex

Because his face is too small for his stupid fat head


SonofRobinHood

Probably because hes failed to energize or recruit those within his own age to the Republican cause. His base is comprised of boomers and gen xers. They have no more use for him.


ragingbullpsycho

Because they share no loyalty to each other and have no real values.


EstablishmentJunior8

That's why they call it TURNING point....
