We listen to any number of people and formulate our position based on them right?? Or are influenced by what they say..
We may do more vetting because we here do have a little more involvement in politics and therefore a bit more on what is going on in our country..
I believe Kayne is trying to wake up people by saying they need to think for themself and they are free to do so.. his people are used to being told how to be, he’s trying to free them of self persecution as well as societal prejudices., He isn’t ranting about race he stands for individualism and I believe the blacks need to hear that instead of all the racist comments we use against each other, just as wrong too...He is putting out the word blacks don’t have to vote democrat as well as telling themwho really kept blacks as slaves etc. He is instrumental in getting to the people in his age bracket and whom do like rap..
He’s also obviously making an impact on some of the people, all good as I see it...
Im not into Rap music but kaynes is not as bad as most of it...
This from Kayne~~”You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him," Kanye tweeted on Wednesday. "We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought."
I guess what I’m saying Voice of Reason, is he is putting out positive messages, trying to do his part just as we try to do ours..Yes???

Maybe it's just hope, but I don't think we actually disagree. I'm not arguing against Kanye's message. I'm talking about the blind devotion and allegiance some stupid people have to celebrity, extending to subjects where the celebrity is completely unqualified, and using that as the only source of input.
Yes, normal folks listen to other people and form opinions based on a range of inputs (as opposed to one celebrity). Further, we normally seek advice from qualified individuals. If I need advice about fixing a leaky roof, I don't ask a baker.
Let me give an example. Music has always been a large and important part of my life. IMO, two of the best musicians, composers, performers and all-around music influencers of my lifetime are/were John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Together they invented a whole genre of music which was massively successful and all good. I'm a huge fan.
Now, remember back when the Obamas, like a couple of starstruck teenagers, were constantly using the white house to throw gigantic star-studded galas (because as every leftist knows, the second-best use of taxpayer money, after vote buying, is entertaining the royalty)? Remember that time at one of those that Paul McCartney made his comment about it being nice to finally have a president who knows what a library is? When I heard about that my first thought was that McCartney should stick to music. He's good at that.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and make an educated guess that you, too, are a fan of McCartney's music and that you had a similar reaction to his assertion that Bush is stupid and Obama is smart.
Having said that, I can guarantee you that there are millions of stupid people in this country who heard about that and thought something along the lines of, "Paul McCartney is a great musician and I like him, so if he thinks President Bush is stupid and President Obama is smart then I should too." That's why the MSM pushed the "McCartney thinks Bush is stupid and Obama is smart" meme for weeks on end.
That's the same monumental stupidity and atomic shallowness demonstrated in this poll. Simply because Kanye says he loves Trump, millions of unthinking morons have decided they should too. In a few weeks they'll hear something else from another celebrity they adore and return to hating Trump again.
I don't care what Kanye's message is, it's the incredible stupidity, shallowness, laziness and devotion to celebrity of the followers that bothers me. Then, just to make matters worse, these same unthinking morons have the power to cancel the votes of those who actually put some thought into voting. That's disgusting.
