Trump Isn't MAGA Enough Anymore, Say Kanye-Curious Extremists

Trump Isn’t MAGA Enough Anymore, Say Kanye-Curious Extremists (Rolling Stone via Yahoo!)

The fallout from the ill-fated Mar-a-Lago dinner date between Donald Trump, the antisemite Ye, and the young white nationalist Nick Fuentes is exposing a schism between the MAGA faithful and even-further-right extremists who think the time may have come time to embrace a new Dear Leader.

-snip-

The prospect of the rapper campaigning against Trump from the right is bringing glee to the deplorables set. They see Ye as — if not a viable candidate — a political force that could keep Trump from drifting away from the extremes as he prepares for electoral combat with Florida’s anti-woke governor, Ron DeSantis. In his own recap of his Mar-a-Lago meeting with Trump, for example, Ye claims he pressed Trump: “Why, when you had the chance, did you not free the Jan. 6-ers?”

Each one more demented and deplorable than the next.

Hope everyone at DU gets a chance to read the full article.

a party's majority voters by spoiling their chance to win. Of course splinters always claim a higher morality.

Don't know if "Ye" is taking monetary political donations yet, but this is my first contribution of "memetic energy" to their dumpster fire:

“It really is this simple. We will destroy the GOP before we allow another Zionist bootlicker in office to ‘represent us.’”

Go to.

They think they can accuse us of being racist for not voting for Kanye, after sane people tagged them for their racism against Obama.

They don't get that we voted for Obama not because he was black, but because he was a great candidate who happened to be black.

They hated Obama because he was black, and they're voting for Kanye because they think they can use his blackness against us. They're too stupid to get that we won't vote for Kanye because he's an idiot. We wouldn't vote for him if he was blonde, blue eyed and pale enough to be Irish.

They care about the color. We care about the person. Big honking difference.

Simple answer, they had nothing to offer him. Trying and failing to do something for Trump scores no points. Roger Stone being pardoned could be useful in the future. All of his actions and inactions can be explained with "What's in it for Trump?"
