Not trying to cause trouble or make fun of what is occurring in the states right now. But i was thinking about when Kanye wanted to be president. It seemed ludicrous at the time, but current event seem to even crazier. So if Kanye had been elected at the last election: What do you think better or worse? What do you think might eventuated?

    Better, because unhinged as he is, he couldn’t break national and international law with the same level of impunity as a white geriatric.

      Nah, he’d have been used by the same people using trump, and discarded the same way trump will be.

      Like, you realize they’re the same people who keep pushing the racial division in the first place, right?

      They’re not doing that because they’re racist, anyone that isn’t an oligarch is the same to them; a resource, not a person.

      They’d have shielded Kanye from consequences just like the shield trump while he’s useful

        You’re missing the ignorant backwoods racist element. Those people are signing up for ICE right now. None of this is as simple as a single group of people causing all of the problems.
