thats what being mentioned/cosigned by a pop culture fixture like ye does. it extended her reach/interest into the eyes and ears of a large segment of society who had no idea who she was before (the google search trend isnt just alt right users...theyre already familiar...it shot up 100x because *other* people are seeking info). not saying she is magnetizing susceptible people into alt right converts left and right. but more people are now looking into that window.

doesnt matter if she is the primary, secondary, or tertiary focus of the news coverage. she has gotten an exponentially greater amount of promo in mainstream outlets the last few days

not to mention ye is 'redpilling' his twitter feed with literal alt right talking points (wittingly or unwittingly).

ye used to expose people to relatively obscure intellectuals, artists, designers, etc. now he is illuminating alt right figures like candace owens and scott adams.

most of 'us' prolly dont spend a lot of time in the fox news/breitbart/4 chan information sphere to grasp whats going on and how dangerous it could potentially be.
