Basically the plot of American gods

I was reminded of the song by Nelly "Air Force Ones" but then I looked up Nelly's political beliefs and found out hes a Magat. Just like Kanye, ~~Mac Miller~~, Soulja Boy, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, and even Vanilla Ice.

I mean Mac Miller wrote a song called Donald Trump back in like... 2012 or something, but it's pretty much just alluding to Trump's wealth.

And it also led to a feud between the two because Trump wanted royalties.

Miller was very vocal against Trump, especially once he really moved from reality tv to politics. So not sure why you think he was MAGA when he openly supported BLM while he was alive.

Good to know

Mac Miller? Didn't he go on TV and call him a racist, dumbass, and a greedy bastard?

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Idk I just remember him literally singing his praises in a song.

Ah. That was back in like 2011, when Donald Trump was more "rich guy on TV" and less "fascism catalyst". DT was definitely still a creep and a POS back then too, but at the very least you could replace his name in the song with any famous three-syllable rich slob and it probably still works.

Gods need worshippers the way the sky needs kites.

The only reason you had more miracles back in the past was that people were pretty rare. It's estimated that there were only 50 million people on Earth in 1000 BC.

Gods ignore prayers today the way we ignore popup ads
