The problem is that Kanye West is professed to only speak from the heart. He says he doesn't read books, so he can't apply critical thinking to his decision making.
Fair enough, some of the left's reactionary responses ARE racist but you're only focusing on the extreme reaction rather than the actual problem. Most liberals only see him as an attention seeking, controversy-needing, publicist.
He's said a lot of things leading up to his MAGA hat wearing support of Trump. A few curious things he's said is that he wishes to abolish the 13th Amendment. While he has retracted that statement and expanded on what he means by that, it's still alarming that he thinks that Trump is a unifying force.
He isn't.
And thats the bullshit people aren't swallowing and really I'm dissapointed if Republicans are swallowing that too. Trump is known for wanting to "drain the swamp" and is suppose to be a "anti-establishment" These aren't unifying tennats. Trump is a name-calling bully and has always been. "Lying Ted", "Fake News", "Crooked Hillary", "Little Rocket Man". These have the same effect as calling Republicans racist, sexist, fascists. You don't unify people by assuming their agendas based on their political leanings. You don't unify people by lying to them or lying to yourself.
This equally goes for the Democrats. Name-calling, bullying, and violence won't bring this country together. Not saying we can't joke about these kinda things but tensions are high right now. If you really love what Kanye is saying then don't feed the division by continuing to seek vindication.
Stop seeing your enemies as enemies and instead see them as human beings. Break free of this limited way of thinking that you're either this or that.
That you're either for Gay Marriage, or against it. For Free Healthcare, or against it. For Abortion, or against it. For Gun Regulation, or against it. For Social Security, or against it. For Wellfare, or against it. For Free Education, or against it. For Free Speech, or against it.
Nationalism doesn't lead to Fascism.
Socialism doesn't lead to Fascism.
Extreme opposition leads to Fascism. If we can't compromise then we kill. If death is the only option for our opponents, then WE are Fascist.
