[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]India’s Narendra Modi. 
Hee, hee, hee! This is the thanks he gets for sucking up so hard to Trump. Now he looks like a buffoon both in India and to the rest of the world. [/quote]

Indian-American here and I agree. So many of my relatives over there support Trump or think American politics here is just funny or a joke. It's not their fault (they didn't vote in this election) but people are now seeing how serious this is.[/quote]

Why are Indians pro-Trump?[/quote]

I would guess for a similar reason that Brazilians are.  When you're looking at it from outside the US, Trump looks like he is putting the smug liberals in their place and enacting a conservative agenda.

But if you actually follow what he's doing closely you know that it's completely illogical and the only goal is to destroy government and rule of law. They're not following it that closely and just place it in their own domestic context and assume he thinks like them.  He doesn't.  Same with the Cubans. [/quote]

Yeah if you're not following it closely, you don't realize it's "serious." My relatives over there were messaging on election night like they were talking about who'd win a sports match. He's a showman and that's "fun" for ppl who watch the news casually and assume (till now) they won't really be affected either way.

There was also an odd assumption that he'd be good for India bc he looked cozied up with Modi.

Anyway, none of this is to say my random relatives are representative of the country. It was just disturbing to me. And in any case (unlike the MAGA this thread is really about, they are not to blame since they don't live here and can't vote![/quote]

Is this also a little to do with anti-Muslim sentiment in India and the fact that Trump's base is also anti-Muslim?[/quote]
