    That's weird - my order total was deducted (authorized) from my PayPal balance when I paid with my PayPal balance. It always gives me the option to choose to take the funds from my balance, from my PP credit card, my other credit card, or checking acct.

    Hard to explain. I have over $300 in my PP account right now and using money from the balance was not an option for me, nor has it been on any of the Relapse purchases I’ve made this year, and probably last year, too, though I don’t specifically remember. On the other hand, I buy records from other labels and shops with the balance by default all the time.

    In the minds of a lot of people around the world supporting Trump is thought of as being as bad if not worse than being some random wife beater, Nazi, Klansman, racist tweeter or reddit user.

     

    Outside of the world of Fox News, Trump is widely regarded as a racist and an enabler of racists, a misogynist and a man who said any number of totally crude and indefensible things on the way to becoming president. Supporting Trump is saying “I’m ok with all that.” Kanye is ok with all that, apparently. Also, the thing where Kanye  said that African Americans are responsible or partly responsible for slavery is beyond dumb and moves into being dangerous. 

     

    It seems like people are wondering if Kanye should be punished in some way, made an example of in some way, for having these ideas that are way outside the mainstream (supporting Trump is outside the mainstream.) should his art be rejected and denigrated simply because he has come out in favor of the Trump atrocity? A lot of people think yes, it should. But what if he gets a pass? What does that mean? What even worse thing could come of that?

    It really annoys me that people think just because someone's politics differ from theirs they can't enjoy the art or music they make. I could care less about kanye's political or religious views, cause they greatly differ from my own, that doesn't stop me from enjoying his work. If you only consume art from people who share your views you must have an extremely narrow minded view of the world 

    So you’re  saying that if a musician is, say, a wife-beaters, a Nazi, a member of KKK, etc., if you liked the music, your cool with that? Wow.
