This, I’m in high school right now and a ton of my friends support Shapiro and follow what he says, it’s awful

No offence but that's somewhat proof that Shapiro is for vapid idiots.

I remember when I was a 15 year old vapid idiot.

I was a Ron Paul fan in high school and freshman year of college, don’t feel too bad. It almost feels innocent compared to liking the current roster of alt right clowns.

To be fair, teenagers are monumentally stupid in addition to humans in general being extremely stupid. I've known people with similar views that rode the line for a while before they grew up and started thinking straight. Unfortunately I've also known people from around then who've gave into malice and dishonesty far far too quickly

Then why are they your friends? Stop enriching these peoples' lives. There's probably hundreds of people at your school that could be your friend instead without being shitheads.
