Summary
Indian Americans are poised to play key roles in Trump’s incoming administration, including Kash Patel, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Harmeet Dhillon, marking historic GOP representation.
This shift is attributed to Trump’s anti-China stance, support for India’s Modi right-wing government, and his appeal to wealthy, educated Indian Americans.
Despite Indian Americans traditionally leaning Democratic, their rise has sparked controversy, facing both far-right racism and criticism for supporting policies like anti-immigration stances.
Experts highlight caste privilege and alignment with right-wing ideologies as factors enabling their political ascent.
If they were educated, they wouldn’t support Trump.
Educated people can still be hateful and stupid. It’s just that most of those people turn their nose up at higher ed in American culture, giving the false narrative that higher ed “cures” hateful stupidity. For a small subset of stupid people with open minds this might work, but most people just choose a more ‘conservative’ college, avoid courses that challenge their beliefs, and carry on.
American Pakistanis who refused to vote Indians regardless of party affiliation feeling real vindicated right now lol
Why would refusing to vote for an Indian Democrat be vindicated by the existence of these assholes?
