From the article:

Later in the interview, the former host of NBC’s America’s Got Talent clarified that he doesn’t “subscribe” to either major party. Paraphrasing W. E. B. Du Bois, he said both the Republicans and Democrats are “one evil party with two different names.”

But, that didn’t stop him from saying: “I f*** with Trump.”

Ok, so he's not conservative, he's just "both parties are bad." So he hasn't succumbed to the propaganda, he's just... succumbed to... the propaganda...

"He's not an Idiot, he's just an idiot."

Irrelevant person trying to remain relevant.

And failing spectacularly.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 50 points 2 days ago

Did he ask the klansmen which party they prefer? Because the ones I grew up around were most definitely not Democrats.

This is about as dumb as claiming that the US is not a democracy, because it's a republic. The level of ignorance required to make these statements unironically, is staggering.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

It's not ignorance - it's a worldview where truth isn't real. Claims are not evaluated because that's not what claims are for. They're just how you perform loyalty to the ingroup, which is the only thing that has ever mattered to people stuck in the tribalist mindset.

That's all they think you're doing. That's all they think there is.

I have no idea who this is. I looked him up and I still don't know.

[–] kylie_kraft@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

I think he's primarily famous for having like 100 kids

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago

All of his kids have said the same thing at one point.

[–] SilverFlame@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

He was on Nickelodeon like 25-30 years ago, I don't remember which shows

Reminds me of Nikki Minaj's stint with Trump. They paraded her around and played her. If they wanna be a token, that's fine. Tokens get spent.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 days ago

Add him to the pile of dipshits, I guess.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Who do the KKK vote for today, Nick? Who do they protest, Nick? FFS, this isn't calculus.

[–] ButtermilkBiscuit@feddit.nl 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

.........who?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Serial abuser Nick Cannon.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Should someone tell him he's black?

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

He knows. He has some pretty racist views about how people with more melanin in the skin are morally better.

“Our melanin is so powerful and it connects us in a way that the reason why [white people] fear us is because of the lack that they have of it,” the “Wild ‘N Out” star said. “When you have a person that has the lack of pigment, the lack of melanin, they know that they will be annihilated. So therefore, however they got the power, they have the lack of compassion — melanin comes with compassion, melanin comes with soul.”

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Presumably that's why he calls the other side the KKK.

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago
