This sounds an awful lot like a gish gallop. I don't know what point Ben Shapiro is making here. It sure sounds like he's saying racist whites got irrationally mad about a black President telling them what to do and abandoned liberal democracy. Which is exactly what happened.

it should be at least 400 times harder to get a driver's license

It's true that progressives valorize "ugliness." But I think this person doesn't interrogate this position enough and thus lands at the wrong conclusion. Let me give you my perspective on ugliness. 🧵

The British will try to convince you that it’s “Maths” because it’s “Mathematics” but what they fail to realize is no, that’s weird

This was very visible during the 2020 BLM protests, which essentially went global. I will be interested to see if any solidarity protests emerge in Europe in defense of migrant and immigrant rights. But in the short run, these protests represent the side of America the world most likes. /End
