It’s a good theory, but Shapiro’s problems pre-date this. Shapiro’s problems seem to really start in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s killing. The Nick Fuentes, anti-Semitic faction of the Right has become ascendant and they don’t like Ben. (for some reason).
You could even argue it goes back to the friction with Candace Owens, and her firing from The Daily Wire behind her support of Kanye West.
In any case, the American right is splitting up over the idea that opposition to Israel is antisemitic. They believe that and therefore cannot support Israel.
Shapiro’s like Peterson, gilding their bullshit with words and presentation that makes it seem academic or “smart”. Now that there’s no need to pretend like the goal isn’t fascism, imperialism, hate, and Christian fundamentalism the bigots who speak plainly have more appeal. Instead of needing to seem enlightened to feel superior, they got their regime and treat it’s cruelty as the standard and feel superior because they can use force.
From the ideology that gave us Jeff Sessions saying he liked the KKK until he found out they smoked weed, “I liked Israel until I found out they were Jewish” sounds about right

Ben Shapiro is fighting everyone to defend Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and it’s why even his followers are dropping like flies.
