Holy fucking shit. I want to bang Ben Shapiro so goddamn bad. I can't stand it anymore. Every time I go to Turning Point USA I get a massive erection. I've seen literally every rule 34 post there is of him online. My dreams are nothing but constant fucking sex with Ben Shapiro. I'm sick of waking up every morning with six nuts in my boxers and knowing that those are nuts that should've been busted inside of Ben's tight conservative boi pussy. I want him to have my mutant human/conservative babies.
