Hi everyone i hope you're all well so on july 4th
rapper kardashian-in-law and all-around superstar kanye west
randomly announced on twitter that he was running for president
not in 2024's was originally rumored but in 2020 we must now realize the promise
of america by trusting god unifying our vision and building our
future i am running for president of the united
states hashtag 2020 vision now this is very very cool i think but
certainly came as a shock to a lot of people particularly as kanye has missed
the deadline to register as an independent in six states already
and would have to work quickly to meet the deadlines of the rest
which is maybe why a member of his team has already announced
that kanye is in fact withdrawing from the 2020 contest just a couple of weeks
after announcing his candidacy so what gives was he not serious about it after
all well not according to his rep and
certainly not according to kanye who even gave a comprehensive four hours
long interview to forbes magazine detailing the platform he would
run on his values and his views on the state of
america in fact according to reports he already
had 180 campaign staff working to get him onto
the ballot for florida and south carolina both of which have
july deadlines to register as an independent
now considering all of this i actually think that there is a every chance he
will change his mind and announce again that he is running
this year i mean anything can happen in american politics we've learned that
and considering that let's just hypothesize for a while that kanye will
eventually run this year and what that could mean for the
election result here are a few of kanye's policy points
on the coronavirus cure we pray we pray for the freedom
it's all about god we need to stop doing things that make god
mad on vaccines it's so many of our children that are being vaccinated and
paralyzed so when they say the way we're going to fix kovid is with a vaccine
i'm extremely cautious that's the mark of the beast
on the elective ending of pregnancy i am pro-life because i'm following the word
of the bible on running in 2020 god just gave me the
clarity and set its time on joe biden a lot of times just like
political parties they feel all blacks have to be democrat this man
joe biden said if you don't vote for me then you're not black
well act like we didn't hear that we act like we didn't hear that man say that
that man said that on developing policies i don't know if i
would use the word policy for the way i would approach things i don't have a
policy when i went to nike and designed yeezy and went to louie and designed a
louis vuitton at the same time it wasn't a policy it
was a design we need to innovate the design to be
able to free the mind at this time on prayer in schools reinstate in god's
state in god's country the fear and love of god in all schools and organizations
and you chill the fear and love of everything else
on his other priorities clean up the chemicals in our deodorant in our
toothpaste there are chemicals that affect our ability to be of service to
god so as you can see he has some very clear
positions that he's running on and while some of his views namely his
views on vaccines raised concerns including from me i very
much believe in vaccinations it's still a clear policy position that
he's presenting he's also very pro-life and said in the
interview that he believes that planned parenthood was put in cities by white
supremacists to do the work of the devil strong clear rhetoric and there are
people out there who agree with him even if they don't put it quite so
bluntly and best of all he said his political party would be called the
birthday party because when they win it's everybody's birthday love it
now certainly there was a lot of a contention at this announcement with
celebrities like katy perry and will i am expressing their disapproval and of
course headlines speculating that this is all just a big publicity stunt and
look given that he's apparently already
pulled out look maybe it was but on the off chance that it's not and if
he does do a backflip that wouldn't actually surprise me see
this isn't actually the first time kanye has said he's running in 2020 he
announced it way back in 2015. and yes as you probably could have
guessed by this moment i have decided in 2020 to run for
president then of course he took the monumentally
risky step given the leanings of the entertainment industry
of openly supporting donald trump even though he didn't actually vote in the
2016 election and has actually never voted in his life by
the way he's only just registered to vote this was a huge risk to his
career but since then kanye has somehow proved
himself uncancelable much to what i'm sure is
the dismay of the democrats and the regressive left his fan base is just too
loyal and just doesn't care enough about politics
to go along with the narrative that kanye is an evil trump-supporting bigot
in any case it's too hard to spin that narrative with kanye anyway because
kanye is black and has been outspoken on issues of
racial justice for many years so instead the leftists in the media
have had to be satisfied with calling kanye names like uncle tom and all the
rest and then trying their best to just ignore him and hope that he goes away
after all a black monumentally successful obviously conservative openly
christian trump supporter is not good for the identity politics
narrative that they ride so hard if you know what i mean
but it wasn't just the open support of donald trump that's interesting
if he had left it at that then we would have had grounds to assume it was
all just for publicity but kanye actually
did something with his support booking an appointment with donald trump himself
in the oval office to discuss the plight of black communities and also prison
reform this right here is the iplane one
it's a hydrogen-powered uh airplane and this is what our president should be
flying in look at this jared let's
but you know what i don't like about it's not that i don't like what i'm
what i need saturday night live to improve on and what i need the liberals
to improve on is if he don't look good we don't look good
this is our president he has to be the freshest
the fliest the flyest planes the best factories and we have to make
our core be empowered we have to bring jobs
into america because our best export is entertainment and ideas
but when we make everything in china and not in america then we're cheating on
our country and we're putting people in positions to
have to do illegal things to end up in a cheapest factory ever the
uh the prison system and who could forget this
but i digress the point of the matter is that kanye actually has
very serious and specific political goals he wants to achieve
he also has a very serious specific platform to run on as he outlined in the
forbes interview and when he originally said he was
running for president back in 2015. he said it would be in 2020 not 2024.
bearing that in mind and knowing kanye i think there is every
chance he may still run this year particularly when you consider the
electoral implications of a possible kanye run
see we know that not only is kanye conservative he's also a supporter of
the republican party since he said in that interview that if trump were not
the republican nominee he would be running for president as a
republican it's also unlikely he will win this time round for the simple fact
that he's already missed the deadline in six states
so unless people write him in which they might he is kanye
that's many millions of votes he can't get but he still seems to keem to put in
the effort now we could put it down to a
kind of test run for 2024 but look that's a big commitment to make for a
test run so could it be that kanye as a supporter
of the republican party and as a longtime supporter of donald trump and
even though he said he was no longer technically on the trump train
gave trump only light criticism yet slammed joe biden beyond belief
maybe just maybe this is an 11 dimensional chess way of helping donald
trump get elected it's so simple think about it if kanye
runs he's arguably famous and popular enough to get a decent amount of votes
however since the deadline has already passed in some states it's highly
unlikely he could actually get enough votes to win
but he can pull votes away from either one of the two main candidates
joe biden and donald trump so who would he pull votes from
trump well maybe not trump's base is pretty darn loyal and the trads and the
never trumpets are unlikely i think to see kanye as
an alternative because the type of person they would see as a suitable
conservative alternative would not be the rap star freelancing
perceivably erratic kanye west who married into the kardashian family who
are hardly models of good socially conservative behavior so kanye
is unlikely to suction out a major amount of trump votes but how about
biden well the white leftists won't vote for
kanye because he doesn't fit their idea of what a black person's political
opinion should be which is hugely racist by the way but
then again we always knew that the most virulent
anti-racists are generally the most racist people of all
but there is a distinct chance that kanye could pull a chunk of the black
democrat vote away from biden not because kanye is black and therefore we
should assume that all black people will vote for him
that's racist the reason that black democrats could potentially shift to
kanye is because he represents a lot of their views
much better than the modern democratic party most notably in terms of his
christianity and his social conservatism kanye would
run on a very christian platform as we know
and as i mentioned earlier kanye is very pro-life
he's also anti-vaccination and while i'm not saying that all christians are
anti-vaxxers and not all anti-vaxxers are christian
some religious communities do actually have major concerns about vaccinations
both from a safety perspective and from a scriptural perspective
kanye is also very very open about his christian beliefs
now this is highly controversial in hollywood and in the democratic party
since the regressive left has so demonized
christianity in recent years i would imagine that for a black person
who has traditionally voted democrat it might be refreshing to see a
candidate who puts his christian beliefs at the very forefront of his rhetoric
remember the black community in the usa is more likely to be christian than the
rest of the population including among democrats in fact
according to pew research in 2019 a full 74 percent of black democrats were
christian as opposed to 47 of white democrats and while of
course people don't vote solely on the basis of religion
obviously to have a candidate who is not the republican nominee
running very strongly on a christian black church pro-life platform could be
very very appealing for black democrat voters
who might be disillusioned with their party's extremist party line on
among other things reproductive health as they call it
also kanye has exposed white democrats attitude to black voters which was put
very succinctly by joe biden a little while ago
if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or trump
and you ain't black now kanye has been condemning this attitude for a while now
that is the notion that if you are black you have to vote democrat or
there's something wrong with you and you're a race traitor etc etc etc
connie addressed it in the forbes interview very directly stating
that is a form of racism and white supremacy and white control to say that
all black people need to be democrat and to assume that me running is me
splitting the vote i was told that if i voted on trump my
music career would be over i was threatened into being in one party
i was threatened as a celebrity into being one party
i was threatened as a black man into the democratic party
and that's what the democrats are doing emotionally
to my people threatening them to the point where this white man can tell a
black man if you don't vote for me you're not
black now surely there are other black voters out there who feel the same way
as kanye that plus the fact that democrats have
been insisting for decades that they are the party to improve the lives of black
people and save the blood community yet when you look at democrat-run cities
like chicago and baltimore not a lot seems to have
improved could make kanye an ideal middle ground
for black christian democrats who are sick of empty promises and peculiar
policies and would love an alternative who truly
represents their values and concerns as such if kanye runs and if i'm right
that is potentially millions of votes that could be pulled
away from biden and while they won't go to trump the
fact remains that they won't go to biden which gives donald trump a
reasonably clear path to victory kanye gains some political traction in
the meantime drums up some support and puts himself in an
excellent position to run again in 2024 while the republican candidate which is
remember kanye's party of choice gets another four years in the white
house who really knows what's going on or what
will happen all i know is that if that kanye west
runs for president this year we are gonna have an awful lot of fun
