He's diagnosed bipolar, so mental illness is definitely in the mix.

Good thing we have Kanye’s physician in the comments to make that determination.

He's stated it publicly, it's not like this is rumor or conjecture.

I'm not claiming he doesn't have bipolar.

I'm pointing out that his behavior could be the result of it, because he's a narcissist, or some combination of the two

It might not contribute at all. My evidence being the countless people who are bipolar but don't make antisemitic remarks and the countless people who aren't bipolar and do.

> He's made blatant antisemitic remarks and yet his popularity among the right grows.

You say this as if the latter isn't a direct result of the former.

Are you insinuating that "the right" is anti-semitic? That's quite a reach.

Im not insinuating it, I’m saying it. It’s clear as day to anyone who’s been paying attention, one reason being the connection you yourself pointed out. How else can you explain antisemitic comments leading to higher popularity amongst the right, other than the right generally agreeing with or at least being sympathetic to antisemitic views?
