Speaking of tools: Anti-woke Canadian rapper tops music charts.

Rapper Tom MacDonald, who grew up in Alberta and British Columbia, is known for his anti-woke, anti-government stance — and has amassed a right-wing fanbase for his bold lyrics — is rising to the top of mainstream music charts.



He was called “one of the most talked about new artists in hip-hop, with one of the most divisive personas the genre has ever seen,” in an Inked Magazine article.

In one of his songs, Snowflakes, he muses: “If you lie to the government, they’ll put you in prison, but when they lie to all of us, it’s called being a politician. You think taking guns away will save our kids from the killings, but your pro-choice abortion kills way more children.”

After a video for the song was released on YouTube in June 2021, he gained more recognition, including a Twitter follow from Donald Trump Jr. and an interview in The Daily Wire with Ben Shapiro, a conservative political commentator. The video has since been viewed more than 21 million times.

If lying to the government landed someone in prison, WTF is Cheetolini doing on this side of iron bars? Cheato pretty much talks shit all the time, and there’s no shortage of microphones shoved in his face whenever he beckons the press corpse.

Call me if Taylor Swift ever goes "MAGA"

Stories like this are no different than polls that showed Patty Murray losing in Washington, the "pooularity" of the Rush Limbaugh show, and "Voters fleeing Blue States for red due to taxes"

These stories are meant to do nothing but scream "Dems in disarray"!!!!

We're DOOMED!!!!

If violence and misogyny ever takes hold in rap music, we're finished.
