As always, I had some fun with trending hashtags on Twitter over the past couple of weeks. Here are my posts, ordered from the most popular to the least popular (all my tweets can be viewed at this link - https://twitter.com/CraigRozniecki):
1) Kanye West: "I'm being attacked for presenting new ideas."
No, you're being attacked for presenting stupid ideas...

2) Future convo
Kanye West: "Slavery was a choice."
Donald Trump: "There were bad slaves on both sides, both sides."

3) Dear Kanye:
Whether an idea is old or new, stupid is still stupid.
#IfSlaveryWereAChoice
1,316 Likes, 202 Retweets
4) In the future
Kanye West: "If a guy holds a toilet paper roll to his belly for like 9 minutes, he'll basically know what pregnancy's like."
The Twittersphere lets him have it.
West: "I'm getting attacked for presenting new ideas."

5) Dear Kanye defenders:
The definition of free-thinker is "a person who rejects accepted opinions, especially those opinions concerning religious belief."
When a person continually rejects facts, they're not free-thinkers; they're just ignorant. Period.

6) Between complimenting Donald Trump on his presidency and claiming slavery was a choice, it seems painfully obvious Kanye West has chosen to be the biggest buffoon this side of Donald Trump.

7) It seems kind of surreal at first to see so many Trump trolls defending Kanye West, but then soon after realizing he recently claimed that slavery was a choice, it all starts making sense.

8) Kanye West: "Having never been a slave myself, I think I have the knowledge and experience necessary to say that slavery was a choice. I mean, that's just common sense."

9) #IfSlaveryWasAChoice, there would have never been slavery.
79 Likes, 16 Retweets
10) #IfSlaveryWasAChoice, so many people wouldn't have placed their lives on the line trying to end it.
74 Likes, 15 Retweets
GOPers: "Democrats are the party of slavery! Learn your history!"
11) People and ideas change. While Lincoln may have been a Republican and abolished the slaves, 150 years later, the GOP has become the party of slavery.

12) Kanye West: "We all need to be free-thinkers."
So says a guy who has embraced the cult known as Donald Trump...
#IfSlaveryWasAChoice
58 Likes, 18 Retweets
13) LeBron James: "Some of the president's comments are laughable and scary."
GOPers: "Shut up and dribble!"
Kanye West: "Slavery was a choice."
GOPers: "Shut up and... Wait, no, preach on! Tell it like it is! Yes!"

14) Kanye: "Slavery was a choice."
He gets blasted by all non-RWNJs
RWNJs: "The left hates being challenged!"
Yes, because contending that victims had a choice and a fault in slavery, rape, murder, assault, etc. is a prime example of thought-provoking. Not.

15) Jean-Jacques Rousseau: "Slaves lose everything in their chains, even the desire of escaping from them."
Kanye West: "Yeah, but that's all a choice..."

16) Climate-change is proven.
GOPers: "Crazy!"
So too that Obama was born in the US
GOPers: "Whatever!"
& that the earth is round
GOPers: "Says who?!?"
Kanye West claims that slavery was a choice.
GOPers: "Wow, now that's something you have to think about!"
#IfSlaveryWereAChoice
56 Likes, 12 Retweets
17) GOPers: "2 + 2 = 7!"
No, 2 + 2 = 4.
GOPers: "You're just afraid of being challenged!"
No, there's challenging and stupid. That's stupid.

18) Trump/Kanye's 2020 campaign slogan: "Pro-choice for slaves, not women."
#IfSlaveryWereAChoice

19) Michelle Wolf roasts Donald Trump
RWNJs: "That was out of line! Disgraceful!"
Slavery
RWNJ Kanye West: "Hey, it was a choice."

20) Dear Kanye defenders:
Living in the past & acknowledging the past for what it was are two different things. Admitting slavery existed & wasn't a choice is not to say one is still living in slavery. The first step to solving a problem is admitting it exists.

21) I find it ironically fitting that the top trending hashtag is #NationalDayOfPrayer, as in light of the new revelations in the Trump investigations, that's all he's got left - a prayer.
32 Likes, 7 Retweets
22) The modern-day GOP: Where the nonpartisan is partisan; facts are biased; conspiracies are facts; and history is flexible.

23) Huck Sanders: "I'd first like to use this #NationalDayOfPrayer to pray for the journalists that were killed the other day. As Trump has lovingly said, 'Journalists are the enemy of the people.' Again, our thoughts and prayers to these enemies."

24) Before
RWNJs: "Slavery wasn't a choice."
Now
RWNJs: "Slavery was a choice."
They receive the inevitable blowback.
RWNJs: "Hey, at least we've evolved!"
No, you've just distorted history/reality. Congratulations.
