Usha Chilukuri Vance, the wife of Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance, and the couple's children have become targets of backlash for their Indian ancestry.
Crazy, because aside from her skin color, she's definitely on board for all the fucked up things the right-wing is aiming to do. Racists, once again, are just dumb as hell.
I saw someone comment that they need to get those people under control because Indians were compatible with the American lifestyle. I wasn't sure exactly what they meant but it did leave me wondering if the thought was "They know their place".
Maybe they're saying all the Modi supporters are compatible with right-wing grift culture? I imagine they approve of Modi being all buddy-buddy with Putin, that's for sure.
I'm sorry, I feel bad for it all, and her having to deal with that, I really do, but at the same time it's funny as shit. What did she think was going to happen when she associated herself with these people?
I have ZERO sympathy. She CHOSE this and is continuing to stay. She’s probably a Trump heart attack away from being the First Lady and doesn’t exactly have to wonder where her next meal is coming from.
It's already appalling to actively seek out and cater to the racist voters to win the southern states, but Repubs also ran propaganda for decades to deliberately increase racism so that the strategy would be more effective. The far-right radical racists have taken over because the party deliberately made them the foundation of their voting base.
It's 100% expected behavior from the right. Things are wrong and immoral until they happen to you personally. They don't like minorities, but Vance doesn't have a problem with his wife being a minority. Just like abortion is wrong until your child gets pregnant...
Okay, so this is a joke post. It is not sincere. It is sarcasm.
This is sarcasm.
Okay, get this shit. Imagine convincing the alt-right to vote for Biden with the following (horrible and presented here only for amusement) argument:
"You can't vote for Trump/Vance because Vance married an immigrant and is attempting to replace the proud tradition of a white first family (I know, I know, but it's a joke, please chill).
"You have to vote for Biden/Harris because Harris at least married a white man (again, this is a silly and racist thing to argue)."
I feel like that may work since people who are alt-right racist garbage typically cannot think their way out of a white paper bag.
All joking aside, you'd convince a non zero number of those morons with that argument. Actually if you spewed that shit from a pulpit you'd become a leader in the maga sphere and probably pull in some $ of those idiots.
Back up, isn't the Furher married to an immigrant who used chain migration to nationalize her parents? She/they get a pass... and are white. So this really is racism in action. Good luck, folks. And to you racists, die.
In the context of interactions with the rest of society, fascists need to be discriminated against on the sole basis that they’re fascists.
But if the fascists are going to discriminate against other fascists based on race or whatever, I’m not gonna stop them. By all means, tear yourselves apart.
I wonder how long non-white, non-christian, non-striaght people will realize that they are in the hate group lead by trump, a person that has Hitler like attributes.
Yes and no, IMO. Kamala Harris probably can't win, in part because the US electorate are fairly racist and sexist. There is a part of the DNCs calculus that is about winning the general election.
