On Thursday night, Kanye West announced to the world that if he had bothered to vote, he would have voted for Donald Trump. Disappointing behavior from a man Slate has hailed as “the greatest critic of our time,” a musical miracle worker, and, somewhat puzzlingly, a promising up-and-coming architect. But if Kanye can no longer be trusted to provide wise counsel, who can our weary nation turn to? Taylor Swift has been silent, Chris Brown is disqualified for all kinds of reasons, and the constellation of stars surrounding Hillary Clinton are all in post-electoral disgrace.
But now comes one Snoop Dogg, who, having seen Kanye’s performance, brings us a message of hope. Or, at least, reassurance that not all millionaires secretly support Donald Trump. Could Snoop Dogg be the celebrity who will lead us all out of the wilderness? Thanks to Instagram, you can sit down with Snoop as he watches Kanye’s announcement and judge for yourself:
Snoop Dogg makes a good point when he says, “I smoke weed—weed don’t make you do that. What the fuck is he on?” On the other hand, “He shoulda had a bunch of weird motherfuckers like you in there when he was talking that weird shit,” seems less helpful. And Snoop—who associates with known felon Martha Stewart—might have some skeletons in his closet that would compromise his ability to guide our nation on the path back to righteousness. Which leaves us with … Axl Rose?
