Just a year after this happened and it seems like everybody has forgotten about it. Yea he lost his adidas partnership but nowadays, he's been a welcomed surprise guest at Travis shows, I'm hearing his songs being popped off on in clubs and parties, and he's been going viral on TikTok with tons of praise and no criticism or mention of him being a Nazi in the comments

Is it Americans having the memory of a goldfish? Americans not really hating Hitler/Nazis/anti-semitism that much? Kanye's music is just too good to ignore? Americans just loving to deepthroat and worship anybody that's famous?

He was a super mainstream musician for almost 2 decades before his chud transformation, the more likely reason is that his audience is so broad it includes people who aren't conscientious enough to care. If he started getting into nazi shit much earlier (like the mid 2000s, when he already had big hits but his style of hip hop was still kind of "alternative" compared to the rest of the industry) that might have ended his career.
