Summary

A straphanger argues that Donald Trump getting voted out was "the worst thing that could have happened to America" because now white supremacy has gone "lowkey." Kareem listens as the passenger explains his unusual theory: unhinged white men in office at least keep people activated, while under Biden everyone's just going to brunch. The conversation spirals into questions about what canceled celebrities are doing now. Kevin Spacey, Kanye West. Are they in basements with kids or hanging with Nazis? When Kareem points out Kanye is Black, the passenger concedes he's "white in some ways" and compares him to Nutella. It's provocative political commentary that refuses easy categorization.

What's your take? I think Donald Trump getting voted out of office was the worst thing that could have happened to America. Uh, because I think that we should only have unhinged white men in office. Really?

Yes, and why is that? Because I'm like, look how comp—white, there's white people on this train doing nothing, just going to brunch or probably like having just great days.

So you mean they're not activated anymore? You're not activated? You—you want to pess up, activate? Yes, man. We living in Sleepy Joe's America, and I'm not even a Republican, dog. Like, there are still white supremacist and everything, but now it's like it's all lowkey. I don't know where they're at, you know? And this is not like a cancel culture thing, but when people do get pushed to the side, I don't know what they thinking. What's Kevin Spy up to? I don't know if he got kids in his basement. What's Kanye up to? I don't know if he's with the Nazis.

Like, wait—Kanye is Black? Yeah, I know. But I'm just saying, but what—but white in some ways?

But so it's just Nutella that's on the outside? But I don't know. I feel like we need people to remind us.
