She did not touch on his claim that people who don’t have kids are more sociopathic.

    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.

      And if her kids ever refer to themselves as Indian god forbid they ever mention their white background because according to Trump that’s illegal.

      So make sure the pick the proper race qt the beginning, like the half-elven in LOTR

      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

        Edit Vance is Scot-Irish, and sadly his people have this in their ancestral history https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Irish_sentiment

    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.”

    Our policies. Policies like being against school lunches? Like voting against a child tax credit? Like not supporting or opposing funding for childcare? Like opposing paid parental leave? I don’t know, it sure feels like some folks in particular have made it their goal to continue hardships for parents and children.

        In this topic they are anti choice not because of Democrats, but because of the Christian base. This is why they also are for banning contraception.

      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.

    What’s dumb about this whole thing is the same folks who would insult people who choose to be childless are also the type to insult people for having children ‘they can’t afford’.

    Standard deflection by the powerful who of course created this situation of economic and environmental insecurity causing people to decide not to have children.

    I’m one of those. No way am i making a kid. Used to want one. Can’t afford it and wouldn’t doom anyone to the future i see

    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”.

    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?
