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.

She's pretty sure the leopards won't eat her face though.
She's probably right until the third or fourth year after the reich is installed.

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
I think I'd be concerned more about a return to the one drop mentality.
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.

She checks the bank account and the dissonance is worth it to her
She does it by being just as awful if not worse than him
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. 😋
It's like JD Vance came directly from the Central Casting couch.
From/to/on... who can say for sure?

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.

Just more proof that “Pro-Life” is a lie.
Republicans are the party of “Anti-Choice.”
They're the party of "against whatever the Democrats are for"
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.
"I will lie and say absolutely anything to get me and my husband into the Vice Presidency. I'm a giant piece of shit." - Usha Vance (probably)
the fact that they're still stuck in this news cycle shows how much of a terrible pick this was from trump.
We're hype about Harris/Walz, they are hype about a scraped ear on a geezer.
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!
They should be 100% behind the gays then, they keep having sex but are never successful at getting pregnant.
He should also support adoption by same sex couples, surrogacy and IVF, but I kinda doubt he does.
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.
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
His wife is amazingly as bad at this as he is.
They both seem dumber than a pile of rocks. And far more useless.
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?
I'm choosing not to have kids because of all the fucked up genetics in my family.
Tons of depression, cancer, mental illness and antisocial behavior. I don't want anyone else to have to suffer what I've had to deal with this life.

Ah. Well that clears it all up, then. Thanks for the insight, I guess?
/please blink three times if you are under duress
When you're in a hole, dig harder!
That doesn't make it better.
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!”
Oh yeah. That make it soo much better.
I know, right?!
"He insulted not ALL of you."
Great. Thanks for the clarification.
I guess a lot of couches must be disappointed and feel like side-chicks, when he’s taking his wife with him on campaign tour

Okay, fuck you still
My experience living with conservative folks is that the explanation might work.
Everytime she opens her mouth I feel better about watching the racists her husband courts tear her apart.
Leopards, faces.
OMG, that makes it all better!😁 now you have my vote😙 No actually fuck off.
She reminds me of The Deep's wife in The Boys, jumping in to try and defuse her husband's stupidity.
Psycho religious freak GFY.
He's still a complete cunt. Nobody has to have kids if they don't want to.
