I mean, you should absolutely be mad at him, just for other reasons.

Check other posts here. The white power crowd is losing their minds over her.

Good. Let them seethe and rage until they are consumed by self-destructive infighting.

The conservative obsession with racial, religious, and every other form of purity is a weakness that will be their undoing. They can only ever become a more extreme version of themselves, until it becomes unsustainable and their coalition fragments.

Feed different elements of the right wing the right bullshit, and you can turn various groups against each other.

Imagine there was a 5% reduction of evangelical turnout because they think Trump betrayed their values by trying to distance himself from project 2025? Or a 5% reduction in racist turnout because the VP's wife has too much melanin? These people believe stupid things, use it against them.

The conservative obsession with racial, religious, and every other form of purity

Isn't that akin to progressive obsession with intersectionality?

They're practically counterpoints to each other.

Once side is seeking the overlap between seemingly dissimilar things, while another is constantly winnowing away what it deems not similar enough.

They are pissed that Trump picked him because of this.

There are already weirdos doing armchair phrenology on her to explain how Indian she is.

I wonder what she and her family think about all this.

I mean... I know there is some overlap between brain-rotted Trump supporters and brain-rotted Modi supporters among Indian-Americans, but at least some of them have to see that US conservatives hate them for existing.
