Comedian.
They keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.
I pay little to no attention to celebrities. But it has always been my impression that Kanye is and was a rapper. And part of the thug culture that celebrities embrace.
So now he’s making friendly overtures towards Trump?
Whatever.
If in fact he is making liberals apoplectic, then good. But that does not make one a conservative.
Act or not, if it resonates with even a fraction of that voting block it is a #Win
OK, I’ll countersignal on this one.
I have no interest in Kanye West. I abhor the “Democrats are the real racists” nonsense. And I think the GOP, or whatever comes after its upcoming implosion, should absolutely, positively not try to attract “minorities” to vote for it.
However.
The greatest existing threats to America are President Trump being removed, or not being re-elected.
His removal, or his defeat in 2020, are at the root SOCIAL phenomena. People like us, who are interested in issues, are a tiny minority of the ocean of voters who have no clue about what is happening, or why.
Because of this, the phalanx that has formed in the infotainment complex to destroy the President is a problem. Morons who watch daytime TV, or who know who Khloe is, and so on, are going to determine our fate.
That’s a bad, bad, idea - but that’s our situation.
Having even one (and there may be more coming) celebrity who people follow on Instagram GIVING PERMISSION to normies to think well of President Trump may very well turn the tide.
Broken clock, correct twice a day.
kanye west wants to tap into the conservative buying power...
they won’t, but it is nice that he is trying.
The left is the side that marginalizes and destroys people. The right, in general, recognizes people are flawed and debate them on their opinions and positions.
I do not trust Kanye West. He is just another entertainer to me. But what he is currently saying is a prime example of something that desperately needs to be said.
It’s not about Kanye. It’s about the lefts’ expectations/control of minorities and what happens when one of them goes of the “ reservation”.
The takeaway from the Kanye story is not whether Kanye has “seen the light”. It’s the fact that it reveals that independent thought is not tolerated by the left. I don’t care what Kanye thinks about anything. He does not impact my life in any way. But his treatment at the hands of his fellow entertainers/leftists shows that they treat “deserters” the way the American Communist Party did when someone tried to leave the party.
I agree, but I also don’t think that is happening.
Like North Korea, we conservatives are being very cautious regarding these POSSIBLE positive developments.
I’ll take whatever defections from the Left, particularly by minorities. If he returns to the Democrats, so be it. It is a precedent that some minority Democrats are thinking independently. The Left fears that most of all.
Brilliant way to sell more rap crap. Don’t worry NY Post, you can relax and write about some real news now!
“Righties shouldn’t be suckers for Kanye’s latest act”
agreed. Kanye is an attention-seeking nutjob, and could just as easily turn on a dime tomorrow and say he was all wrong about Trump and that Trump is evil incarnate, especially for blacks ...

“I’ve never voted for a Democrat and I’m not starting with Donald Trump.”
I guess she’s a NEVER TRUMPER.
The only thing this proves is that conservatism is the new counter-culture and that liberals are the institutional oppressors.
I just don’t trust Kanye, doubt he is sincere so I’m grateful for this article.
I’m enjoying Kanye’s shenanigans but I know he’s unstable and who knows what he’ll say when.
I don’t respect West any more now than I did before he supported President Trump.
But, whatever makes the liberal heads’ explode is good by me!
I disagree. Gotta encourage people who buck the leftwing Hollywood thought police if we want more to do so. But unlike libs, conservatives don’t put them on a pedestal. We know they can change back in a heartbeat.
