I’ll say it again, a WOMAN of COLOR being a republican has to be the biggest class traitor of all time.
TIL that she’s Indian-American. I always just assumed she was white and had slightly tanned skin.
Well, just goes to show that you don’t need to be white to be a total piece of shit. (Though it sometimes helps.)
There’s a number of rightwing indian Americans in the US and it honestly gives me secondhand embarrassment as a fellow brown person.
Judging by Modi’s electoral success there are a lot of rightwing Indians in India as well. Just goes to show that conservatism can take many forms and doesn’t have to adhere to any (specific) racial bounds.
Either way, I feel for you.
That’s because racism, religion, etc. are tools conservatives use to get rubes to vote against their economic interests. For the people in power, it’s only about power and money. They couldn’t give two fucks about culture wars, abortion, immigration, or anything else outside of riling up and distracting poor people so they fight each other and not them. Some tools work best in the US and different tools are needed in India. You just need the right tool for the job.
