Long story short, and I was planning to write a whole story about it, but a friend of my daughter's was at our house yesterday (Memorial Day); I haven't seen her in many months (my daughter is at college, her friend is just finishing her junior year in high school).
The friend wants to do art, and I pretty much figured her as lost to liberalism, like her older sister.
To my shock and surprise, she's turned into a huge conservative, like my daughter! I've known her since she was three or four years old; she's two years younger than my daughter. We spent the whole afternoon talking about conservative/liberal stuff.
So I asked her "can you remember how you first found out about conservatism, about the liberal/conservative divide?"
She answered immediately, and with one word: "Pewdiepie!"
I know about Pewdiepie from my daughter, who's been a huge fan of his since she was in middle school, or before.
For those of you who don't have young daughters, Pewdiepie is this gigantic YouTube phenomenon. He was the subject of some controversy a few years ago; the WSJ had an article in which he was disparaged as a proto-Nazi.
Apparently, Pewdiepie has Ben Shapiro on his show as a guest, and that's the route by which my daughter's friend found out about Shapiro, and about conservatism.
I asked her "so what was it about Ben Shapiro that you liked, that made you think about becoming a conservative?" and she immediately said "because he wins every argument!"
This girl was born in 2002; my daughter was born in 2000.

At this point she can afford to alienate everyone. It's called "FU Money".

"...will have to YouTube her music..."
Well that was an entirely unremarkable experience.
Her tunes sound like every other forgettable pop song.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard one of her songs if that matters.

The more trained seals like this tart throw their personal politics in my face the less and less they matter in real life. I have never listened to any of her music and when I hear her name my ears close and I walk away.

I just explored YouTube for a few of her songs.
She has utterly forgettable tunes.
It is not like Led Zeppelin or the Rolling Stones with an unmistakable sound.

As Quincey Jones remarked about her ‘music’, it’s just hooks.............

Now I can see why all those men dumped her, at least per her songs.

Her endorsement of Phil Bredesen in the U.S. Senate race in Tennessee fell flat on its face when it was revealed that shes actually registered to vote in NEW YORK, not Tennessee.
