Trump is the biggest threat to America's national security and possibly the whole world.

do you really think that this idiot stands a chance against real politicians ?
In a normal world, obviously not but you might be giving our society too much credit.
he won't win the majority of people aren't teenage white fangirls.
I don't think you're quite getting the point of desensitization.
I'm not taling about the mass population, all voters are just sheeps manipulated by the politicians.
I'm talking about these politicians, and capitalists, against them and their agendas, this guy has no chance of winning (from my perspective).
But due to desensitization, over generations this kind of light joke becomes normalised and this is how slow acceptance would start to happen.
Funny thing is, look at how the Obama's are.. they literally act as celebrities. They did the opposite of what you're saying.. they were not famous, Obama became president, didn't really do shit, and ALL the time they're interacting with celebrities on a daily.. going on television doing comedic shit all the time.. I mean, ffs they literally rapped. Like... legit.... rapped bruh.
So they did the exact opposite of what Kanye would do. Or rather, the same actually, but in reverse. It's sickening and honestly the Obama's are now nothing but a joke.
Kanye West > Barack Obama
Imo...
Watch shit get done with Kanye in office.
Watch how other people don't f*ck with him.
Watch how nothing drastic in America changes.
The "President" is nothing more than a new celebrity anyways nowadays..
Believe that.
Really naive. Obama despite any one opinion at the absolute LEAST has a single semblance of experience, maturity, responsibility and leadership as well as knowledge of what running a country actually MEANS, immediately trumps some rapper. Obama, everyone before him and every world leader knows that an election isn't a toy. Kanye with his pampered lifestyle is like a little egotistical child, and why WOULDN'T he think he couldn't run the world? The world has given him everything else on a plate.
I'm not pro Obama and i'm not even American, comparing anybody in office with the capability to run a country is not even comparable to a egotist rapper constantly proving how deluded, immature and idiotic they are. Kanye is underdeveloped in key areas, like many celebrities.
Celebrity culture can be a mental condition. Obama and his competitors aren't parasite celebrities, like them or not never reduce or oversimplify them to 'celebs' they run countries, policies in line with yours or not. Trump borders celebrity status & businessman. Honestly it's basic logic. Who's better equipped to concern themselves with politics?
Actual trained politicians > businessmen holding together a business > low-key untalented products of the mess that is pop culture
Over time though, it'll be normalised. That's how all this sh*t started. Reality TV or what passes as celebrity culture wouldn't have slided 20-30 years ago.
Don't you believe it. Reality TV and pseudo-celebrities has been around for decades. There was a 70s series called The Family (think UK working-class Kardashians)... when there was a marriage, it was choca with fans and paparazzi.
An ordinary woman with no particular talent getting engorged in fame for doing nothing... sound familiar?

You didn't reply to anything I said.
First of all, you're correct on everything about how Obama was BEFORE he actually became the president. However, since then, him and his wife especially have become more "celebrity"-like, than "President"-like.
They party with celebrities all the time.
They do wwaaaayyyy too many comedic skits and appearances on t.v. (they are too much of a joke to be taken seriously)
Michelle Obama literally rapped bruh. Like literally, put headphones on, played a beat and rapped into a microphone. What do you have to say about that? Kanye rapped in his life. Now wants to run for president. Michelle Obama became the first lady. Now decided to RAP a message to the youth. Lmao what a joke
Secondly.. Kanye hasn't had SHIT given to him on a plate by the world. He genuinely had to work hard as f*ck for everything he has today. He put in the work man.. don't try to take that away from anybody on this earth who knows what it's like to come from nothing and achieve almost everything they ever wanted, based on their very own hard work.
Third of all... I voted for Obama. His first run for election came at the time that I had just turned old enough to vote. So I voted for the first time, for Obama. I actually thought he was a very intelligent, we'll spoken person and could really make a change. My vote was apart of history for the first black president, and I don't regret it. But the last election came and I didn't vote. For anyone. F*ck politics.
You're just bashing Kanye as a musician at this point. Wait til he runs and enters the race with true speeches and debates, etc. Before you judge him as a potential president.
I actually was, your post was believing Kanye was some finer sage type when i'm sure deep down you know this isn't true. Whilst bashing the pros by even comparing them to him. Hence i'm replying saying i'm not fighting for any specific candidate- but merely the fact that politicians just may know what politics are, replying and cancelling out your post
You underestimate your government if you think somebody with no experience and is only interested by himself could do better.
Why would you say Kanye is only interested in himself? When, A: You don't know him personally. And B: you're not psychic.
I think he's interested in the youth and the future generations. And above all, his, family.
And once again, you didn't reply to anything I said.
I think you're missing a trick if you don't think he's a mumbling egotist. He goes to great lengths to always make them abundantly clear. I wasn't the one who called him the greatest rockstar in the world, a genius or a God. He says that all without a hint of irony, it's not hard to read.
"The thing is, for me to say I wasn't a genius, I would just be lying to you and to myself."
Like I don't get it...fan or not you MUST know that Kanye is full of himself right? Like...that's his selling point I assume. That's his thing from ever since he's been a thing. Please don't play biased or dumb or whatever because I know that you know this haha
I am reading & replying. You're not countering the simple logic of how Kanye could possibly, realistically be a sensible choice in the face of politics over trained politicians....and until you do that, nothing you say really comes to fruition or can be responded to specifically....
Look it's clear you're a fan, I like 1-2 of his songs. But celebrity culture is starting to become damaging to other genuine serious parts of society. It's not on him personally, he's just the main figure to claim he should run for Congress amongst others who I named.
He's an impressionable guy. It's the way he's making light of running a country that really diminishes that honour and responsibility. People will blindly follow him and over time people will follow more of these kind of characters genuinely. Something has to be sacred, something has to matter.
