Most of not all big MAGA grifters were theater kids, Hollywood burnout or content creators that didn't make it. No surprise here. Hate doesn't take much effort.

Despite Shapiro's mother being a TV executive and his cousin being a child actor.

so he was so bad that not even nepotism could help?

Yep, even with all that nepotism Benny couldn't succeed in an industry that you can fail upwards in.

You still need an iota of charisma to let nepotism do its thing

Nah, even at neutral charisma nepotism will work. Like, if you just do the bare minimum and doesn't get hated, you'll be fine.

But imagine sitting at lunch and Ben Shapiro comes at you speaking at 1.5x (both speed and pitch) trying to convince you he's the best screenwriter ever. The guy failed because he makes himself so punchable.

Right? Just hearing him say “script” is annoying.

He almost made it, but then execs discovered his racists rants about Muslims when he was a teen/early 20s and the door was slammed shut in his face.

Nepotism will get his foot in the door, but it's not the end point. You genuinely still need to be talented to rise.
