I'm starting to think this Kanye West character may not be such a good guy
I don't know, anyone who loves Hitler can't be all bad, can they?
The only thing that I can appreciate about Trump is that growing up, I could not fathom how people were swayed into supporting that regime. I thought there's no way that type of propaganda can work on that many people. Well unfortunately I can now.

People have been warning about this since before WWII and, unfortunately, it's taken this long for people to listen. I just hope it isn't too late.

I propose a new morality scale ranging from Eastwood to West.
....Clint Eastwood? Are you implying Clint fucking Eastwood is a paragon of morality or am I misreading this somehow?
In comparison, wasnt intended to be taken seriously though, couldn't think of another "east" name
Fair enough. Clint kinda burned his whole deal with the talking-to-an-empty-chair bit. And, y'know, other things.
The 'other things' are what killed my respect, and interest, in the man and his movies.
Yeah, I hear that. I make a very limited exception for the stuff about jazz that he does, but it’s super small, relatively speaking.
