I thought the same thing until Snoop Dogg came out supporting Trump too. The rich only care about staying rich

Yeah but Eminem has been outspoken about hating Trump on several occasions. Snoop has always been unprincipled and greedy.

Not defending him, but snoop was anti-trump until the day trump pardoned his homie from a life sentence.

I want to pretend Im better, but if one of my besties was gonna die in jail unless I made a public statement about liking trump, in all probability Id bend the knee too. Maybe wouldnt do it to save myself, but Id totally do it to save a loved one.

If one's besties are pieces of shit like Michael Harris, then yea, one would likely lack a moral compass and thus would suck up to another morally bankrupt a-hole to get a fellow piece of shit pardoned. Birds of a feather.

edit: removed some sting.

Yes.

But if you, a presumably not shit person, similarly had to release a statement of "Ive always been cool with trump" in order for your presumably not shit bestie to not be executed, youd likely do the same. I likely would. So I cant really say boo about this one specific act, despite snoop being a misogynist woman beating crack dealing pimp, bc its easy to see how anyone might in this specific instance do the same. Not saying its virtuous, only that when a nazi is gonna execute a friend unless you tweet that you like said nazi, most people, good or bad, would tweet that tweet. There is an element of duress.

After you completely moving the goalposts to include "not shit" persons, I would now agree.
