“… some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.”
Here’s a good article on Macomb County, MI-- the county that produced both Eminem and Kid Rock. Eminem speaking out so harshly against Trump really could make some of those good ol’ blue collar boys and girls of Macomb think twice about this orange anus they put into the WH. Up until now, they’ve been really only seeing positive reinforcement out of native son Bob Ritchie. But now native son Marshall Mathers has something to say too. And even if they’re not the type of people to watch the Hip-Hop Awards on BET, this thing’s gone viral. They may not turn their back on Trump tonight, but a world-famous rapper they claim as their own is now very vocally anti-Trump and he lays out specifically why he is. It could at least plant some seeds in their brains.
That would be nice, but I wonder if Eminem (and rap) have much of a following among “blue collar boys and girls” anywhere. I admit, I could be too old to really know.
I live in West Redneck NC. A lot of the redneckiest of the redneck kids sound like ghetto street thugs from Compton. That’s how popular rap is up here with the young’uns.
And me. I’m a might-as-well-admit-I’m-middle-aged 'un and I freaking love Eminem along with several of my middle-aged friends.
I’ve read 6 books on Kim Jong Un and his regime and life in NK. His insanity and completely disregard for improving the living conditions in his country was a bit of a focus of mine. As you will do, I discussed this with my Wife.
She came home the other day saying “Trump is crazier than Jong Un”. I’m starting to agree. But Trump is just plain stupid too. Kim Jong Un is not.
