You people are saying how that is crazy or Kanye has gone crazy, having a breakdown etc, but there is a method to the madness: He ran for president in 2020. He has been posturing himself as a conservative since a while. This move fits into that pattern and signals that he is going to go into GOP politics.

That was my thought as well. He is saying outlandish things to poise himself to run for president in 2024. His relationship to Candace Owens is what tipped off his plan to me.

      Turning a blind eye to how prevalent radical ideology permeates the conservative base is also not helpful. https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meetthepressblog/poll-61-republicans-still-believe-biden-didnt-win-fair-square-2020-rcna49630 https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meetthepressblog/poll... But you missed my point--by galvanizing the conservative base that is racist, homophobic, sexist, and anti-semetic, it leaves the rest of conservative party with an impossible choice--support a democratic candidate, or vote party line. That is how Kanye is courting conservatives.

        How do you expect to have a discussion with a Republican if you hold them with such contempt? You realize that they represent roughly half of the country right? I didn’t really care about your point about Kanye, I can more about people sowing division.

        Why do people always resort to argumentum ad populum when it comes to defending the insanity that the modern Republican party has come to represent. They can't be wrong or immoral, there's millions of them!

        > defending the insanity that the modern Republican party I am not defending radicals. I never said they weren't wrong. My point is that you can't tell half of the country to just screw off. And, not all conservatives hold radical positions. I know many that vote conservative mainly because of the issue of abortion.

        Should I post some links about young white males shooting up schools and conclude that all young white males are radical? Do you truly believe that every (or every most) republicans are radical?
