After reading a few dozen of his short, stream of consciousness paragraphs, I would have independently said "this is the kind of guy who would vote for Kanye West"
This essay is so bad it really makes me want to discount and ignore anything this person has to say about anything else.
I know that’s probably unfair and I genuinely try to treat unrelated arguments independently from the person arguing them - but it’s rare to see something this wrong while the author revels in their own ignorance.
This isn’t coming from a place of politics, though there’s no way for me to prove it to anyone - it’s just coming from the place of being a reasonably educated person.
This post reeks of privilege and a tremendous lack of self-awareness. Oh, you don't care for politics because the outcome of the election won't affect your life all that much? Good for you. A large portion of the population doesn't have that luxury.
You are now my political leader. I will remain a law abiding citizen of the United States, but I will follow your leadership, and your example. I will work to execute your policies. I will follow the regulations you suggest. You may even tax me. Send me a venmo request. I will do what you ask, so long as you do not ask me to commit an act of violence, but I do not think you will. Please, Kanye, rescue us from oppression, save us from the evil octopus of the New York Times and Trump, Biden, and Nancy Pelosi, the serpentine robots that feed it. Teach us to pray again. Teach us to love again. Teach us to find the genius inside. Forgive us our debts. Help us grow more and better food and find better ways to produce and distribute energy. Work with Elon to take us to Mars.
Can't believe I read the entire thing. What the hell did I just read
