I never said you think they're good opinions, or that you should pretend they don't exist.

I'm saying that "listening to Ben Shapiro and it's obvious conservatives care about is..." is an obnoxious statement. Ben Shapiro doesn't represent all conservatives, he represents the worst of conservatives, and you can predict his position on any given topic from a half mile away. So it's essentially impossible to learn anything new or interesting about the greater conservative body from Ben Shapiro, unless you didn't know Shapiro or regressive conservatives existed in the first place.

It's categorically no different than listening to a far-left pundit and saying "I've learned that all the left cares about is..." It's one person, and they're hardly representative of the wider base.
