I wonder how she fits all the cognitive dissonance in her head?
Lady, he’s actively courting white supremacists and you are not white. Things are going to come to a head at some point for you in a very personal sense.
What you need to understand is that India has a rigid caste system based on inheritance just like the US does; there was one already there in a lot of places and the britishers codified the hell out of it.
Many upper class Indian people don't see a conflict with white supremacy because they come from, and benefit from, the exact same system.
Somebody like Vivek Ramaswamy, for example. He looks like a dude with dark skin to a generic American. But that combination of names is a giveaway that he's a Tamil Brahmin; once you see his nose and forehead you have a pretty good guess of what his ancestral temple allegiance is; this all happens automatically for people from India (I am not but was married into a Tam-Bram family for 20 years and I picked it up myself).
I'm not saying that this is determinative of political stances; I know plenty of democratic voting upper crust Indians. But somebody like Usha Vance or Vivek Ramaswamy looks in the mirror and sees a Brahmin, which is the equivalent of me looking in the mirror and seeing a white person. They do not perceive themselves as a "minority".
Oh, I very much get that it’s probably related in some way to the caste system. I also think that the higher-caste/lighter-skinned Indians don’t really understand white supremacy if they think they’re gonna get a pass just because they’re wealthy and not quite as dark-skinned as other castes.
You’re right, that’s exactly how race supremacists see themselves relative to other people. However, these things are a fragile and temporary alliance till they deal with the “undesirables”. Funny thing, the status of “undesirable” is ever shifting. Many white people and white immigrants of Italian or Irish descent were considered “undesirable” in early U.S. history. There’s never any rational to race supremacy other than protecting the “in-group”, and that changes with the changing tides of power
JD Vance is the best choice EVER for a republican VP candidate.
Please continue both of you, you are really helping.
Hey BTW why don't you turn it up a notch, that would be even better. 😋
She then claimed that if people would take a moment to try to “understand…the context” of her husband’s comment and focus less on the “three-word phrase,” they would understand that he was simply arguing that “it can be really hard to be a parent in this country, and sometimes our policies are designed in a way that make it even harder.”
This is great. This is usually the kind of over explaining Democrats end up doing. Seeing the GOP getting stuck in this media hole is a breath of fresh air
Well they have party members fighting those "trying to have kids" via in vitro, so now they have to sort out that her statement doesn't line up with their party as well I suppose.
It’s funny to see that his wife is just as stupid as him. Billionaires and their proxies are such disgusting, weird human pieces of shit, and it shows!
Holy shit... because I'm 43 and I never had kids I didn't ever realize the subtext is to fully delegitimize same sex couples, wow the right is on the wrong side of history
I love how she's like, "Oh no he wasn't insulting you specifically." Like dude, he's already insulting people for something completely insane, it doesn't matter which group of people he's targeting. No wonder she's with him.
Anyone who is fine insulting people for their mixed race heritage while also having mixed race kids of their own is a a special type of asshole. There’s ignorance (which can be fixed) and then there’s being a complete sociopath who sells their own children’s wellbeing just for career advancement. I feel very sorry for their kids.
I have a question. I have actively chosen to not have kids because I don’t want to, but I once went into a MEPS and literally signed my life away to Uncle Sam as a tool of the Navy.
Does that make me more or less American than the people who just cum in each other for something to do on a Tuesday, because they’re in America?
I hope you're well, mate. That sounds like a rough lot, but I really hope that you have folks around you that love you, and can be good for you.
I had a friend that I probably didn't tell enough that I wanted to be there for him when he was down. It can be hard for people watching loved ones struggle and not knowing how to engage with it, but I hope that it isn't seen as them not caring, and hope that you have those friends or family ready to support you, even I'd they don't quite know how to right away.
It's strange that their animosity towards the childless is an order of magnitude more vocal and persistent than their animosity towards the MAGA voters who racially abused, and continue to racially abuse, Mrs. Vance and their children. One might even go so far as to call this disparity "weird".
Repugnicunts know they aren't getting any meaningful growth from new converts, so they rely on the Catholic Church's tactic of forcing all of their faction to give birth as much as possible to make up for the numbers.
As one of the people WITH a kid, at least I have a couple amazing examples of how NOT to grow up.
But it will only be effective once I can convince him that these are real people. “Yes son, I am telling you they really ran a white supremacist who was married to a brown-skinned person and kept telling other people THEY were the sociopaths!”
Ah so they are just against the freedom to choose not to have kids so his platform must include a forced breading program. That is so normal. Not weird at all.
TFW you wake up married to JD Vance and all his bullshit has come screaming down on you in a nationally televised way.
I'm in politics he said. Sure, helping people is nice. I met with silicon valley people he said. Well it's good to have friends I guess. I met with trump he said. sigh
