 I was blown away by Kanye West I really was it was fascinating this was an unvarnished authentic we've rarely heard a man speak so honestly and so movingly about what he believes Kanye West is is is wise he's he's unique and certainly he's fearless he's a very important voice there's such authenticity to that that it just makes me want to hear more speaking truth to power calling things out and Kanye West does that he speaks truth to power he is one smart guy is Kanye trying to be a force for good absolutely yeah he is very special intellectual renaissance when you consider like people like Tucker or a Kanye Kanye's genius I'm going to make an analogy Kunta Kente and Ruth they got him out on a tree and they're whipping what's your name and they want him to say left-wing liberal Kanye West refuses to live in that box you can't help but like him because he is not apologetic have I reached Alex Jones territory yet no I think I'm telling the truth okay and that's okay if you do I think he's dead on on this one I know for me it just made me think man we can reach so many more people with this powerful movement that believes in freedom I know that what I'm listening to is unique and interesting if Kanye West believes it imagine how many more people out there maybe aren't talking about it but would like to yay West threatening to go to war with Jewish people on Twitter he appears to imply Diddy a fellow rapper was controlled by the Jews on Instagram you just watched a compilation of from media matters that has aged terribly and it's so funny to see all of these Fox News pundits praise Kanye West and then have to turn around and say okay maybe we got a little bit more than we bargained for I just love it you love to see it so it's funny because the GOP they keep inadvertently aligning with Nazis and then realizing oh my god no we disavow we disavow we don't support them and they don't disavow often like it takes a lot to get them to actually denounce one of their own but there's been so many oopsies with Nazis lately or at least over the course of the last year or so that they have no choice but to denounce for example Kanye West isn't the only Nazi that they found themselves in bed with lawmakers Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar has spoken at events hosted by Nick Fuentes a neo-nazi Republican candidate Carl Paladino who was endorsed by GOP house leadership at leastophonic praised Hitler on top of that Stephen Crowder said that Hitler was bad and his fans turned on him and said that they disagree because of course oh and then there's also Charlottesville where Trump said that there were good people on both sides so you've got to understand here these aren't just a lot of accidents the reason why the modern GOP party and all of their propagandists keep accidentally aligning with Nazis is because the modern republican party is for all intents and purposes a fascist organization in an article for the independent Patrick Cockburn explains it is worth listing the chief characteristics of fascist movements in order to assess how far they are now shared by the republicans exploitation of ethnic religious and cultural hatred is probably the most universal feature of fascism others include a demagogic leader with the cult of personality who makes messianic but vague promises to deliver a golden future appeals to law and order but a practical contempt for legality the use manipulation and ultimate marginalization of democratic procedures a willingness to use physical force demonizing the educated elite and the media in particular shady relations with plutocrats seeking profit from regime change one by one these boxes have been ticked by the republicans until the list is complete the tea party movement was an important staging post on the road to Trumpism Trump himself possesses all the classic features of a fascist leader though he was somewhat hammed by the institutional and political divisions of power what explains the descent of the republican party into fascism racial division explains much the division of american culture along with the same geographical lines as the civil war explains more add to this the frightening dislocation imposed on white working and middle class americans by technological change and globalization powerful forces are let loose similar to those that once propelled of the rise of european fascism and is now doing the same in america so make no mistake about it the republican party is a fascist organization when you look at the characteristics of fascism they tick off a horrifying number of boxes this is the reality of the situation we shouldn't bury our heads in the sand we shouldn't try to pretend as if that isn't the case we need to accept the reality that one of the two major parties in this country is fascistic they weren't always this way but this was their trajectory because they've been for a while pandering to the most extreme elements within their base electing more and more radical lawmakers who reject the reality embrace fascism and now this is where they've arrived at the logical conclusion to where they were headed and it's time for us to stop pretending as if this isn't the case i still see people denying the reality of the republican party being fascist because how could you say this party is fascist when my dad is a republican my uncle's a republican people i know are republican so they're not fascists well they don't have to be fascists to still support an overall fascist organization see the reason why fascism grows in the first place is because when people become desperate when economic changes occur rapidly people become desperate and that desperation makes them more susceptible to radicalization and they start to look for answers to what's causing them pain and republicans don't want working class americans to look at the system so they deflect and they try to get you to say actually the blame is immigrants it's queer people they're the ones causing you all this pain they're the reason why you're in this predicament this is bound to happen more and more as nazis and more far-right extremists feel at home within the republican party
