Kanye West: I would have voted for Donald Trump, if I had voted
Chaos and projectile shoes at concert as rapper gives hour-long pro-Trump speech

Kanye West has always been something of a provocateur and a nihilist, and is staunchly anti-political correctness.

Last night he stirred a maybe unprecedented level of controversy, however, declaring at a Saint Pablo Tour show in San Jose: "I would have voted on Trump".

"This is my platform and I'm going to talk about the paradigm shift that's happening right now," he said at the top of a 40-minute political speech that came at the cost of several songs.

It's hard to ascertain exactly the point he was trying to make as we only have tweets and videos from attendees, not a transcript, to go off, but it sounds as though he was mostly praising the disruptive nature of Trump's campaign, which 'inspired racists to reveal themselves'.

"Whether you voted for Hillary or Trump, this is a safe space for both of you," he told the audience, asking any Trump voters to make themselves known. He also reiterated his desire to run for president in 2020, saying his focus would be on education and that his campaign would use a different political model.

"Stop focusing on racism," he added, declaring sombrely: "We are in a racist country - period." His stance stands in stark contrast to 2005 Kanye, who famously declared that "George Bush doesn't care about black people" in the wake of the devestating Hurricane Katrina. 

The concert received an understandably mixed response.

Kanye was apparently happy when one woman screamed that she loved him in spite of his appreciation of Trump's campaign, but there was also a lot of booing, stunned silence and even a few projectiles - one of which was a Yeezy shoe, which Kanye promptly signed and returned to the thrower.

One fan heroically live-tweeted the concert:

Kanye: "The internet is going to take this out of context"

Now playing That Part

Another show stopped. Kanye is asking who voted for Hillary, mixed cheers and boos. Kanye is calling out Trump supporters.

"People who voted for either side come out to the show, I know media is more liberal, what I'm saying is I'm not judging Trump voters"
— Raptor (@RaptorJesuss) November 18, 2016
"There are Hillary supporters that may be louder, but MY fact is that there are people who who voted for Trump here at the show"
— Raptor (@RaptorJesuss) November 18, 2016
"The dumbest thing about politics is that politics separate, not one side or the other side is bad, it's not Democratic or Republican"

If he had voted but he didn't because he didn't want the Illuminati to chim him up and spit him out, in their MSM Media propganda machine.

Kanye West will do anything to try and stay in the news cycle.

Trump did this successfully during a heated campaign for the GOP Nominee for POTUS, and during an equally heated general campaign to be elected POTUS, but he did it in a targeted, effective way, with a singular goal in mind.

Kanye has no real purpose in doing so, and has no real goal in mind. He has the typical mindset of a typical musician/actor/celebrity, who clamors for constant attention.

He's actually probably really jealous of all the attention Trump is receiving now, and feels diminished as a person by contrast.

An America you Wish you believed in.

They say Kayne is a genius, I wouldn't doubt it. So far he's the only Liberal Propaganda protagonist willing to realize who will be doing the bread buttering from now on.
And has announced he will make a most excellent Propaganda Servant.

I'm happy to see Kanye can be a free thinking individual in then face of blatant anti-speech propaganda and hate. Maybe his position as anti-Taylor Swift just got more tenable.
