This is a response to Boost, and I wanted to make it its own thread.
Ultimately here's why I'm sanguine about Kanye:
The biggest problem in the country (IMO) is prejudice. The country has divided into two teams that each hate the other and that'll raze the land for a political win.
To fix this, it'll take somebody who can frame all attacks from others from the high ground and deliver a message that nobody disagrees with. It'll take somebody whose credible in eyes of every side, and whose way of spreading love overpowers others spreading hate.
I can't think of many public figures who could do this.
But the Kanye of the last few years -- he could do it.
It would be a feat unmatched by any President of the last 150 years. It may be impossible. That is, unless somebody of very unique talents could lead the way. Kanye says he has the desire, and he's about as uniquely talented as a human can get. But could he do it?
