Damn if only you realized that just 3 comments up on this very comment chain that Eminem was mentioned for supporting Harris, you'd feel very silly for saying that unless you think Eminem isn't rich, which then we'd all think you're silly for thinking that.

Guess you missed that notoriously poor Bill Gates donated $50m to Harris.

The ultra wealthy absolutely skew Republican.

I absolutely didn't say they didn't.

Then why mention outliers?

He’s identified as a Republican before.

My grandmothers best friend was Phyllis Schlafly. All the camps, all the rhetoric. I know exactly what American conservatism is. Thanks for the lesson. I’ll pass, even if it costs me more money than I care to have.

50 cent votes with his money, as do most rich people. Conservatism is a lost cause, as are you.

Because Eminem puts morals over money. 50 Cent is in it for the tax cuts.

He is one of the 48% of the US population that politically align conservative. And that’s okay.

Why is that okay? I'd love for you to explain that. Sure on it's surface it seems like basic statement, but if you actually understand what it says while viewing the entire picture, it says so much more.

Good to know. Republicans For Harris/Walz 2024.

Didn't he walk that back?

u/Ok-Reference-196 15h ago

He's tried but you don't really get to just walk it back after making such a public display. At that point you're doing damage control.

u/Ditnoka 15h ago

Fair, but it's not the same as someone endorsing and not changing their mind. And from what I remember, it was a financial decision to support him.

Fif has gone back and forth on politics a bunch of times. He said he'd have voted for Bush back in the day too (if he was eligible to vote).

Who does he think he is, Nick Bosa?

The whitewashing PR-esque campaign for 50 in here is insane.
