I’m a Hindu child of immigrants and I share the optimism of some of the people in that article. I appreciate what this country offers and am incredibly grateful for the American dream.

There is not a chance I will vote for a Democrat candidate as long as I live in this area. I know plenty who feel the same as I do.

Immigrants are hard working. No tolerance for navel gazing and whining.

Absolutely. From the article:

“What has made this country a beautiful place for us? Merit. Hard work.”

“We look brown,” said Tiwari. “We had accent[s], we knew we were not born in this country. But in a period of 10, 15 years we became a CEO of a large company. Why? Because there is something inherent about this country that if you work hard, if you focus, and dream—dream comes true. They reward capability, merit, intelligence, knowledge. That is what took us to where we are.”

I’m the first PP.

That all spoke to me as well because I feel 100% the same. I LOVE this country. I am truly grateful for what the US has provided for me and my family. I hate listening to the Democrats and their anti-American rhetoric. Talking as if other parts of the world are ‘better’ and the US is full of ignorant a$$holes. That is not the case at all. I have family all around the world and I would not choose to live anywhere else.

Some of the White liberals have no idea how great we have it here in the US. And how great, and resilient and amazing most American people really are.

I’m no CEO and I have a measly job (by Indian-American standards), but the US is an amazing place. And I have no idea why some progressives choose to rally against that.

I’ll also add that as a brown female, I know exactly why life can be like for women like me in other parts of the world. I talk to some of my progressive neighbors in MoCo and they see things through a myopic telescope of liberal ideals. And they truly have no idea how fortunate they are to live here in the US.

Before anyone slams me, I am also proud of India. Especially right now, with the current climate regarding China. It is clear that India and its democracy and it’s free press is vital to that region.

I know many immigrants who feel the same (they aren’t Hindu)

It's funny that none of the people interviewed choose to live in localities governed by the conservative ideals they espouse.

Most likely they are immigrants who came here legally. (Versus undocumented immigrants)

Unfortunately, the Democrats often choose to lump legal immigrants and undocumented immigrants all into one big boat labeled ‘Immigrants’.

I have zero political experience, but I think the Republicans could hugely capitalize on this sentiment if they choose to. It is likely a large group of untapped votes.

My neighbors in Silver Spring just recently went house hunting in Texas! They are both in tech and can telework. They are ready to hightail it out of MoCo and I cannot blame them. Both are not Hindu, because one spouse if from Sri Lanka, but just an example.

What Democrat anti-American rhetoric are you speaking about? Specifically, I mean. Democrats wrap themselves in the flag every bit as much as Republicans.

If you mean to suggest the USA is above reproach, you don’t understand our country. Our entire existence is based on progress and change — it is why our Constitution can be amended.

But I am curious what specific anti-American rhetoric you are referring to.

The previous administration attempted to severely curtail legal immigration.
