Support is not only made with money, you can also support by endorsing them publicly by using your influence, which is in the case of Kanye and Trump as far as we know at the moment, might be more under the surface.
Kanye isn’t doing s*** by ‘pretending’ to support an open and blatant racist who from day 0 has spewed nothing but hatred against various groups of people. Going against the grain for the sake doing so isn’t free thinking, it’s being edgy.
I used to think he was just pretending in order to get influence over stuff like the First Step Act but tbh you’re right it kinda does cancel out because at the end of the day he was still riding hard for the guy and NOT even for political reasons, just to be a contrarian which he has always naturally been. And not only that, giving AWFUL people like Candace Owens more clout.
You see what she tweeted about George Floyd?

Which rapper is freeing people from prison? Which rapper is helping the black community the way Kanye has? Supporting Trump is keeping Kanye safe in white America.
He straight up said he will be voting for trump earlier this year...
You have nothing solid to counter that
Yeah earlier this year before George Floyd happened. A lot of people really see Trump fascist ways now. My point is political views should be able to change based on your own thought process.
Do you really think Kanye supports Trump right now? The point Kanye was making was to form your own opinion on politics. Which an opinion can change. We see now that both parties are corrupt af, I can only see that if I’m a free thinker. Not only Hilary, but Biden is not a good candidate, he’s just a better option than Trump.
I honestly don’t know what he’s thinking and idc at this point. It shouldn’t have taken a situation like this for him to have some great awakening. He’s a smart guy he knew from the jump what kind of man he was co-singing for jump street. Trying to be introspective for the sake of you don’t have to vote for dems’ when it’s almost objective the worst repub candidate in history is just ridiculous. I understand this site is dedicated to Ye, and as someone who loves Ye I hate seeing this s*** but I’m not going to look for every excuse to be obtuse in regards to his support to someone so heinous
generous interpretation: some sort of leftist populism like hugo chavez or fidel castro
ungenerous interpretation: nationalist socialism/strasserism like tucker carlson types spew (welfare only for certain groups)
Right second is what my mind went to
Social democratic policies but for only white Americans
I rewatched the trump Kanye video last night just to remind myself what a beautiful mess that whole thing was

Yeah but Dems are no better. The whole party system needs to go. Do you really understand how blacks have been conditioned to think a certain way with Dems?

I’m not arguing against that either fam. I would have felt much better if he took a Lupe route saying he supports neither than choosing the aggressively more open hateful side.

He definitely meant he wants Bernie sanders politics but he wants the guy to be super contrarian like trump lmao

I get that, but then that message doesn’t encourage black people to vote.
It's 2020 and there are still "trump and Hillary are the same" people
Well .. Hillary did call Black people super predators , help disestablish the Middle East & steal 21B from Haiti charity funds . She ain’t an angel
Can y’all stop trying to push this? He openly supported Trump you’re not rewriting this.
So instead of supporting one s***ty presidential candidate he supported two? And jumped sides when one of them won?
Didn't he say he supported Bernie too?
If he got ppl out of jail because of it, who cares?
I have no idea what his original intentions were, none of us probably will but no one can tell me he wasn't legitimately heavy in Trump's corner in the Fall of 2018.
Nah bro he definitely was on tht maga s*** just to be contrarian
It was clear his politics never aligned and now it isnt 2018 anymore and people are starting to see the real life danger of trump in their material lives w all the crazy s*** happening (undocumented folk felt it since day 1) and im sure it’s too much of a clash for his personal beliefs and he cnt justify it anymore (whether it was for headlines or genuine contrarianism) so now he’s trying to make an excuse for it
It’s been pretty clear he supported Trump to gain access to the White House. He never f***ed with any of his policies.

BUT DONALD DRUMPF STINKY ORANGE RACIST MAN

Not clear to 99% of this site, but most of em probably weren’t alive to see what bush and obama said about ye
nah you not gonna me convince ye went all donnie brasco to get people out of jail lmaoo
Yeah.....he went full on Itachi
Kanye always donated to the Democratic Party and candidates
I don’t want anyone to be set up for disappointed though, Kanye is definitly a trump fan
It goes beyond politics though he doesn’t agree with all his politics
He said it best in the Zane Lowe interview for JIK, he’s the most liberal and that he’s a 200%er (both sides)

“people say don’t say this don’t say that, say it out loud just to see how it feels, weigh all the options, nothings off the table”
