Kanye West came out in support of Donald Trump. The left is furious.

Donald Trump has a new fan – and liberals aren’t happy about it.
Rapper Kanye West professed his “love” for the 45th president to DJ Ebro Darden over the weekend and criticized former president Obama. The shocking admission came after West expressed his approval of conservative black activist Candace Owens on Saturday.

Kanye West “loves” Donald Trump
Darden recounted his weekend conversation with West on a Monday broadcast of “Ebro in the Morning”, saying that West likes Owens because “she’s challenging conventional black thought.” Owens has argued that the Democratic Party wants the votes of black Americans but doesn’t care about their interest, urging blacks provocatively to “get off the plantation.”
Kanye elicited outrage when he tweeted his support of Owens on Saturday. “I love the way Candace Owens thinks”, he tweeted.

In that same conversation, Kanye reportedly told Darden that he “loves” Trump and expressed frustration with Obama, saying he “couldn’t get anything done” with the 44th president. West “reached out to Obama for years and couldn’t get anything done, but Trump gave me a meeting,” he said. “[West] said, ‘I do love Donald Trump,’” Darden said.
West has played coy with the Trump supporter label in the past, having met with Trump at Trump Tower in New York for a surprise meeting in 2016. He also told a crowd at a California concert in 2016 that he would have voted for Trump if he had voted.

“I said something that was kind of politically correct. I told y’all I didn’t vote, right? What I didn’t tell you … If I were to have voted I would have voted on Trump,” West said. “That don’t mean that I don’t think that Black Lives Matter, that I don’t mean that I don’t think I believe in women’s rights … because that was the guy I would’ve voted for.”
Kanye had already been criticized for his pro-Trump sympathies before his weekend confession, but this just confirms that his past statements weren’t just one-off stunts. Kanye really means it.

Kanye challenges identity politics
Kanye’s surprising endorsements came amid a string of vaguely philosophical tweets over the weekend challenging conventional thinking and the “thought police.” The rapper followed up his endorsement of Owens by calling out dogmatists who suppress freedom of thought in a series of one-liners that left liberals scratching their heads.
While vague, many interpreted his statements to be a challenge against liberal group-think in context of his endorsement of Owens. No stranger to controversy himself – he famously said George W. Bush “doesn’t care about black people” after Hurricane Katrina  – Kanye’s decision to stand athwart the crowd is not exactly out of character.
“[W]e have freedom of speech but not freedom of thought,” he tweeted. Another tweet proclaimed: “new ideas will no longer be condemned by the masses. We are on the frontier of massive change. Starting from breaking out of our mental prisons.”

Kanye also tweeted a series of videos on Monday featuring Dilbert artist Scott Adams, who is an outspoken Trump supporter. Adams praised West for enabling people to break out of “mental prisons” in the clips.

The rapper reportedly told Darden over the weekend that he wants to “deprogram” people. Kanye’s statements attracted the attention of InfoWars host Alex Jones, who tweeted Monday that he wants West to come on his show.
The left reacts
A number of left-leaning voices and publications criticized West for his statements endorsing Owens and Trump, accusing him of flirting with the Trump movement and the alt-right. A number of online personalities who have been described as alt-right, including Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, Paul Joseph Watson, and Alex Jones, all approved of Kanye’s surprising remarks; he also won praises from mainstream conservatives like Bill O’Reilly, who defended the rapper against “American Stalinists.”
The Washington Post ran an op-ed that described Kanye as a “darling of the alt-right.” The New Yorker fretted, “How Should We Think About Kanye West’s Tweets?”
He wasn’t the only celebrity to come out in support of Trump this weekend. Canadian singer Shania Twain apologized Sunday after saying she would have voted for Trump if she were American.[/size]
