Conservative writer and podcaster Ben Shapiro has entered the crosshairs of social media jokesters yet again after making a big to-do about purchasing a single board of wood from Home Depot yesterday.


Shapiro's viral clip is the latest in a long line of videos posted by conservatives to let their feelings about a certain brand known after Home Depot waded into politics recently. In this case, Shapiro was making a big show out of supporting Home Depot because the brand took an apolitical stance on Georgia's new voting law, which critics have argued is racist and restrictive to people of color. Whereas Major League Baseball and Coca-Cola have condemned the law (with the MLB moving the 2021 All-Star Game out of Atlanta), Home Depot stopped short of condemning it, stating "all elections should be accessible, fair and secure and support broad voter participation," and that it will "continue to work to ensure our associates in Georgia and across the country have the information and resources to vote."

This was worthy of a $2.50 purchase of wood in the eyes of Shapiro. While he may have been trying to do a tongue-in-cheek show of monetary activism, most online (at least on Twitter) found the whole thing quite absurd.


Congratulations to Mr. Shapiro on his wood, but it remains unclear if he has done enough to inspire political support for Home Depot.

As an example, if you look at recent elections there are magically many fewer polling stations in predominantly black neighborhoods compares to predominantly white ones. Hence WASPs breezing in and out while black people waited literally ten hours in line. As you might expect when someone is waiting in line for ten hours, they had someone bring them food and water. Bringing food and water to someone in line to vote is now a crime.
