I hate making a Kanye West thread, but since he's getting into more ballots in states I have to.

What demographic is likely to vote for Kanye West do you think?

Some low-info evangelicals, contrarians, accelerationists, people who enjoyed Kanye's old rap albums, and a small smattering of hoteps.

BRTD (although he'll never admit it).

I imagine he'll mostly end up getting joke votes from disengaged younger voters and maybe some longtime fans who don't care about the outcome of the election.

90% of Black people.

The other 10% aren’t voting because they like Trump.

Crazy people.
I mean seriously, the man is 2-to-3 times more deranged than trump.
If you thought trump could be a threat to national security (like causing nuclear war), this guy is off-the-charts dangerous.

The only people voting for Kanye are young people who probably weren't gonna vote for Biden anyway (already a small voting demographic), i.e. most likely the same people who were gonna write-in somebody random (like Harambe 4 years ago) for sh*ts & giggles.

Generic protest voters. I found some guy on Twitter who normally votes Libertarian but says he'll vote for him if he makes the ballot in Missouri because he dislikes Jorgensen for various reasons. That sort of people.

People who like Elon Mask and Jordan Peterson... and people who take his religion seriously.

Is there any evidence to support this or are you just assuming?

Stop talking about Kanye.  Nobody cares.  Don't give him any attention.

Too small a sample size for it to matter.

Can't wait for this retarded election and year to be over.

Edgy contrarian protest voters.
Very likely disproportionately young.
Likely disproportionately male.
Probably disproportionately non-Hispanic White.

15 or so years ago, when Kanye was first getting big, maybe, but he's long since lost most of his goodwill in the Black Community and isn't popular among Black People anymore.

Low info people who really don't care about politics at all, but want to have something that sounds fancy/cute/whatever to say in social circles.

Edgy leaning right white males under 30 as protest votes. I believe he would have surpassed Jorg and Hawkins in the popular vote had he entered earlier and got on all the state's ballots.  I would also vote for him if I was able (not an American) and it was in a safe state where the vote doesn't really matter much.  Otherwise I would hold my nose and vote for Biden.
