Grifters change what they say according to what's popular. They can say one thing one week according to the news cycle, then say the exact opposite thing the next.

That's not necessarily true. You can be very consistent as a grifters, a la, Ben Shapiro. The thing that's a makes a grifter that is hypocrisy. They preach something for financial gain, but then use the money for something else. Hasan falls into this camp.

You're an idiot if you don't know the difference.

The fact that all his stans have resorted to insulting me right off the bat let's me know that I am indeed correct

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro is actually losing prominence in contemporary politics, or at least American Republican politics, precisely because he won't grift further to the right his other contemporaries like Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes. Shapiro is seeing more spotlight from the American Liberal media these days because he is consistent in his views, yet Liberals are approaching his positions.

Ben Shapiro is a counter argument to your position.

right off the bat

Oh I didn't insult you right off the bat. I rejected your position.

Then you showed to the rest of us how much of a dumbass you were, to which I seized the moment.

Keep coping that you're right though
